Featured Journey

Spring is a particularly special time to visit Marrakech, as the city is stunningly awash with roses in bloom, bringing even more color to this vibrant city. Our Magic Marrakech tour combines the sensuous delights of Morocco''s most exhilarating Imperial city. Framed by snow-capped Atlas Mountains, thousand-year-old palm groves, and wrapped in faded red, ochre walls, Marrakech casts a magic spell. One''s senses are stimulated by the brilliantly colored spices, entrancing music, rich folds of carpets, delectable cuisine, whirling dervishes, intertwining tile geometries, and perfumed gardens shimmering in still waters of reflecting pools. Settle into your accommodation at a historic riad, beautifully restored small private palaces combining traditional Moroccan artisanship and elaborate Moorish design, or into one of the city''s famous luxury hotels. Spend the afternoon with a private guide as you explore fascinating local souks, ancient palaces, and lush gardens. Witness the legendary Djemaa el-Fna square come alive at sunset as water sellers, snake charmers, magicians, and storytellers compete for an audience. Marrakech''s position at the crossroads of ancient caravan routes also makes it an ideal base for excursions to the nearby Atlas mountains or the seaside town of Essaouira, a former Portuguese settlement where windsurfers frolic near the fringe of silvery beach and camels ferry passengers across fine sand.

Fabulous Festivals

	Rose Festival 2008: May 14 to 27 El-Kela M''Gouna
Nestled between the Sahara Desert and the Atlas Mountains lies an oasis known as the Valley of the Roses, which produces the rose water so popular in Morocco''s cooking and perfumery. Each spring, the villages of the Dades Valley gather to celebrate the year''s harvest and the nectar so coveted by kings and pharaohs, conquerors and crusaders.
Did you know? Up to 15,000 hand-picked roses are needed to create just one-third of an ounce of distilled rose oil.
