Morocco Tour Package
MOROCCO’S WALK
A little known fact in American history is that the Kingdom of Morocco was one of the first to recognize the fledgling United States of America after our Independence. Since that time, Morocco has become one of America’s strongest allies in the Arab world. It is also one of the most peaceful and stable. With a coastline on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, Morocco is a wonderful mixture of Arab culture and French influence. It is a beautiful and cosmopolitan country.
Morocco is the mesmerizing country of the Mediterranean Sea, a country with an air of mystery that hovers like a magic carpet. Spectacularly diverse, Morocco combines sand and sea, forests and fields of cherry trees, almond trees and olive trees, imperial cities with their palaces, and Berber villages with their simple adobe houses.
You will stay in Fes (sometimes written as Fez), the oldest of Morocco’s four imperial cities which was originally built in the Ninth Century. You will stay in the Palais Jamai Hotel, a five star luxury hotel in this magnificent and historic city. From your base, you will be able to take guided walks through Berber villages, the village of Bhalil, the Zalagh Mountains, and Ifrane. Ifrane is a fairy tale town unlike any other in Morocco. It is a conglomeration of white-walled villas with steep red roofs and gables, built in 1929 by the French as a place to escape the humidity of the coast. The climate is cool and the town is truly lively. No expense was spared during the recent renovations to the city.
You will also visit the little town of Sefrou. This town, of great antiquity, is said to date back to the end of the Seventh Century (before the arrival of the Arabs) when an agricultural society built it as protection against nomadic tribes. It was once a great stopping place for gold laden caravans on their way from the desert to the city of Fes.
Most walks are five to six hours in length.

You will be driven from Casablanca to Fes via Meknes, the Versailles of Morocco, with a visit of Mellah, Bab Mansour, Place El Hdim and The Royal Stables of Moulay Ismail. Lunch will be in Meknes.
