More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the coach onto Casablanca’s wide boulevards and the city exhales into the Mediterranean breeze — the start line for a journey through Morocco’s political and cultural spine. Over the next days the tour threads between the white-washed esplanades of Rabat, the ochre stones of Volubilis’ Roman pavements and the rabbit-warren alleys of Fes, where the city seems to push back with noise, color and scent.
