​Merhaba to Morocco with us, we would love discover with you a different way to experience the hidden and the real Morocco. From the tranquility of the mountains to the dunes of the Sahara Desert, we are presented with simple breathtaking pleasures! In the frenetic cities, we breath a mixture of exotic and familiar, where we mingle with a crowd following the tradition of nomadic and traders with centuries of history. The diversity of landscapes, the contrasts between the old Medina and the Ville Nouvelle, its great architectural diversity, the intense smells, the colors, the traditional costumes and the people, all add up to make Morocco an intense and rewarding experience that assaults our senses every second! The trick, is to see Morocco going by with the locals, while enjoying various activities, sleeping in the famous riads
and relaxing on the panoramic terraces and large squares.
