Known as the "Land of the Sunset," Morocco is an enchanting destination replete with bustling city life, extraordinary natural beauty, and unforgettable cuisine and culture. Join meteorologist, Sven Sungaard, on an amazing exploration of this special place. Together we'll discover the "Blue City" of Chefchaouen, visit UNESCO historical sites, and drive through mountains, vineyards, and expansive deserts. We'll camp in a luxury tent one night, ride camels, and haggle until our voices hurt in markets big and small.
And the food...Moroccan delicacies abound and we'll try them all. We'll take a cooking class, taste Moroccan wine, and explore our crafty sides at a traditional tilemaking workshop. And finally, this is your vacation. We'll leave you ample free time to explore on your own, and will give you recommendations for spots to consider. Come join us this spring in Morocco!
