Morocco Cultural Tours
Morocco is bursting with treasures for the cultural explorer - intricate Moorish architecture and Berber designs, souks spilling over with traditional handicrafts, festivals of sacred and secular music, colourful ceramics, opulent textiles and simple hand-woven carpets...the list is endless. In the south of Morocco you can visit the kasbahs built by ruling tribes of bygone eras, drive or hike through the lush oases that provide a simple subsistence for today's Berber families and ride camel-back across the old caravan trade routes through the Sahara desert. We offer a range of tailor-made
and ready-made itineraries for cultural tours in Morocco that engage with the local people and their traditions.
