Morocco is one of the most exotic destinations in the world, with dramatic landscapes, busy souks and romantic mudbrick kasbahs – many of which have been turned into boutique hotels.

Byroads Travel has a very comprehensive 17-day small group tour of Morocco, covering both the highlights and a number of lesser-known sights.

Visits are made to Rabat, Fes, Meknes, Chefchaouen, Tetouan and Essaouira – as well as five days exploring the fabled ‘kasbah trail’ on the edge of the Sahara.

Accommodation is mostly in small, boutique hotels and the tour is fully escorted.
