Back

Exotic Morocco entrances the most experienced adventurer. Tradition infuses its labyrinthine kasbahs, overflowing with the earth's bounty and centuries-old customs. Village oases seem to rise from the desert, mirage-like. And the mighty Sahara, a sea of timeless sand, stretches to infinity. The Romans found this land enticing enough to build the once-bustling city of Volubilis here.
In the intimacy of our OAT small group, we'll meet the Moroccan people, experience their traditions, and taste the secrets of their flavorful cuisine. We'll discover the beauty of mosques and sample local specialties during a home-hosted lunch. And to get a true feel for the mighty Sahara that has so decisively shaped this culture, we'll camp amidst its dunes for two unforgettable nights—and even explore by camel.
