Morroco overloads the senses with a kaleidoscope of colours,
patterns and aromas.
Visit the pulsating Medina of
Marrakech; enjoy a snippet of everyday Moroccan life with a tour to
the rural markets, with their vegetables and portable steam baths.
Alternatively, drive through fields of olive groves to the
snow-capped Atlas Mountains and visit remote Berber villages.
On your return, treat yourself to a
traditional Moroccan gommage (scrub) in a hammam (steam bath) and
later dine on exquisite exotic cuisine before retiring to your
sumptuous Berber tented suite, pavilion or maison.
