About this tour

Embark on a captivating journey through Morocco, from North to South.
A Land of Wonders
Morocco is a country of vibrant contrasts, best known for its Imperial Cities, bustling markets, fragrant spices, exquisite craftsmanship, and mesmerizing deserts. It’s a land where every sense is awakened—colors, aromas, and textures combine to make each moment unforgettable. To truly understand the essence of Morocco, one must venture beyond the well-trodden paths of the south and discover the treasures of the North—a region where Africa and Europe seem to meet, separated only by the narrow Strait of Gibraltar, as if yearning for a final embrace.
Northern Gems
This northern region, steeped in rich culture and history, has long attracted artists, intellectuals, and wanderers, drawn by its unique charm. Nestled at the foot of the Rif Mountains lies Tétouan, the “White City,” home to one of the best-preserved medinas in the country, protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Then, there’s Chefchaouen, the iconic “Blue City,” a stunning blend of Arab and Andalusian influences. With its winding alleys and blue-washed walls, every corner offers a picture-perfect moment. This dreamlike city feels like a timeless haven, painted in rare, exquisite hues.
Endless Charm
Finally, we arrive in Tangier, the gateway to Morocco, a city that has forever beckoned dreamers and escapees with its mysterious allure. The marvels of Northern Morocco form the perfect prelude to a journey through the vibrant Imperial splendors, majestic kasbahs, and sweeping dunes of the south. Morocco leaves an indelible mark on the heart, a testament to the new love born from its colorful, generous, and captivating landscapes. A piece of our soul will forever remain in Morocco, as a pledge to return to this land of endless enchantment.
