Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities.

Overview
Across 11 days in Morocco, you move from the hush of Casablanca’s great mosque to the warm spice of a Fes feast, where tagines arrive fragrant with saffron and fruit brings sweetness to the table inside an ancient palace. The room stirs with music as belly dancers move through the evening, before the journey carries you towards the ochre cliffs of Dades Valley. Here, in the still, mineral air, you sit with local nomads, sipping wild-herb tea while rust-red rock rises around you in folds. Before Marrakesh, you’ll explore Aït Benhaddou, an earthen clay kasbah standing at the gate of the Sahara and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then Marrakesh surrounds you with sound and color: snake charmers, storytellers and acrobats holding court while souks brim with cashmere scarves, woven rugs and the scent of spice hanging in the air.
