See Morocco on a 5-Star Guided Holiday of a Lifetime Tour

Perched on the northwest coast, separated from the rest of Africa by the vast Sahara Desert, Morocco is synonymous with the exotic. Beat writers, including Ginsberg and Kerouac, drew inspiration from its chaotic streets and souks. Countless film crews – most recently for the tv series, Game of Thrones – have been drawn to its vast deserts, impressive mountains, and ancient ruins, while its largest city, Casablanca, served as both setting and inspiration for one of Hollywood’s greatest classic films.

Trips to exotic Morocco have been a European favourite for decades. Yet, despite its profound influence on broader culture, few North Americans understand what the country is all about. Visitors can wander ancient Roman ruins, feast on delicious cuisine, and drive a hard bargain in centuries-old souks (markets), all in one day if desired.

It’s also a very safe introduction to this part of the world. While Egypt has been slow to reopen to tourists following recent strife, Morocco has remained a stable, welcoming, and utterly mesmerizing slice of Northern Africa.
Our Signature Morocco – Holiday of a Lifetime, just like others in the Holiday of a Lifetime series, offers unique dining experiences, special inclusion, and personalized service. With only 13 journeys carrying this designation, these trips reflect the highest level of service and offer the very best of each destination.

A freelance writer and novelist, Christian’s travels have since taken him around his native Australia, Asia, Europe, and much of North America. His favourite trips have been through Japan, Spain, and Brazil, though with a love of off-beat, artsy cities, he’ll seize any opportunity to return to Paris, New York, or Berlin.
