ABOUT YOUR TRIP
Morocco is a study of color and contrast. It’s a true melting pot, a unique mix of Berber, Arab, Jewish, African, and European influences.
Compared to its eclectic culture Morocco’s climate is relatively uniform. Situated on the Atlantic coast of North Africa, the country enjoys a relatively mild year round climate. As some Moroccans are fond of saying, ‘it’s a cold country with a hot sun.” Expect pleasant sunny days and cooler nights.

The Destinations
We think critically and personally investigate every one of our trip destinations before we take a group there. We look for places with an abundance of good food, good music, friendly people, beautiful nature, and that ‘x-factor’ that’s hard to put into words.
