A Land That Exemplifies Romance

Those who visit Morocco travel in a land seemingly torn from the pages of some exotic travelogue from the golden era of exploration. The hot desert air is still filled with spice, and calls to prayer fly from graceful minarets to ride the morning breeze. Hardy nomads clad in brilliant costume still call this desert home, and with their camels ply the dunes beneath impossibly cobalt skies. The kingdom of Morocco is one of the most exotic of travel destinations, made even more romantic by the sensuous mud-and-clay architecture of its many kasbahs, the ambiance of palace-filled medieval cities like Marrakesh and Fes, and the spell cast by the mystical landscapes of the Sahara.
 

With MTS favorite Kristy Larson, you’ll experience the best that Morocco has to offer: meeting Berbers in their remote villages, taking an adventurous four-day camel trek across the peach-colored Sahara, navigating (and dodging donkeys!) through the labyrinthine streets of timeless medinas, and chasing the ephemeral almond bloom through the heights of the Atlas Mountains. You’ll explore the desert gateway of Ouarzazate, the refreshing oases and crumbling kasbahs of the Dades and Draa Valleys, the ancient Atlantic citadel of Essaouira (where Orson Welles filmed “Othello”), the imperial city of Fes, and much more.
 

Finding the “Insider’s” Morocco

Morocco is a bewildering panoply of sights, sounds, smells, and tastes, grown over the centuries into a crazy quilt of things to see and do. To get the most out of Morocco travel you need a guide who knows the country intimately…and we’ve got just the guide! Kristy Larson’s love affair with the land and people of this enchanting kingdom began over 20 years ago, when she served as a Peace Corps volunteer. Its spectacular landscapes, enduring cultures, and traditional arts fascinate her to this day, and she has made Morocco her home. Her longtime familiarity with Morocco and the lasting friendships she has forged with its people make Kristy a true insider, and her passion for sharing her adopted home will open doors to a Morocco that few outsiders are lucky enough to see.
