Come to the Sahara

DAY 7: We leave the desert today, but not really. When we turn south at Tinghir (after visiting the Todra Gorge) the ruins along the Route des Kasbahs make it easy to imagine when camel caravans carried silk, spices, and salt along the trade routes in the region. We overnight at Ouarzazate, a modern city sitting at the crossroads of the old trade routes. It's still the best place to buy spices... grown right here! Fresh, so fresh!

DAY 5: We're off to the desert -- but don't close your eyes. First we pass through the beautiful and varied scenery of the Middle Atlas Mountains. Cedars, monkeys, red rock canyons... come with us! JUST THREE SPOTS LEFT!

DAY 4: FES! A full day to indulge in the Fes medina! When you walk through Bab Boujloud, it's like stepping back hundreds of years... public fountains, community bakeries... the souqs... donkey traffic... calls to prayer... and at the end of the day, restoration at the neighborhood hammam.

DAY 3: NEVER A DULL MOMENT! We're off to Fes -- but wait! We have to stop at the Roman ruins at Volubilis with its beautiful mosaic floors and dramatic columns and arches. We'll also stop for a featured activity on this tour: a visit to a women's co-op where women are trained in the traditional textile arts including the lovely knotless embroidery. (Looks like cross-stitch.) Of course there will be lunch! Always a delicious lunch!

COOKING, baking , shopping... ooh! SO ready for a break! Time for a homemade hammam! I'm instantly transported to Morocco. Black soap to soak, scrubbie to peel, glycerin soap to cleanse, and hydrating argan body lotion to finish. Water's hot, candles are lit... (OK, that part isn't traditional) Soon I'll be good as new !

NOW what are they saying about us?? Well, just the very nicest things. Here's an excerpt from one of our newest reviews on Trip Advisor... "As three girls traveling alone, we felt extremely safe and were incredibly well taken care of by our driver. He went out of his way to share his knowledge with us, ensure we were comfortable throughout the trip and show us all the most delicious places to eat, the most authentic places to shop and the best spots to admire incredible views. It was indispensable to have someone who spoke the language and knew so many people along the way, not to mention who knew how to navigate the roads."
