Morocco Food&Wine
12 nights, 13 days. Available all year.
Morocco thrums. Marrakech's spice-laced maze, chants & haggles a symphony. Beneath Koutoubia's gaze, Jemaa el-Fnaa twirls. Emeralds in gorges, nomad's tea beneath stars. Chefchaouen's blue sighs, pastilla's honeyed song. Tagines whisper, couscous dances, bread from earth's embrace. Wine ignites, desert echoes. Weave Morocco's tapestry, sun-kissed, story-woven, soul aflame.
