Includes:
- Fly round-trip air on
Royal Air Maroc, from New York's JFK Airport non-stop to Morocco
- Your choice of 4 nights in Marrakech or

in Marrakech or 4 nights in Fez for only $888*. You'll get round trip
air, accommodations, transfers from and to the airport, and breakfasts.
The only cost not included is government airport taxes (currently around
$300, complain to the Moroccan and US government if you think it's too
high). With the low value of the dollar and the high popularity of
Morocco you'll be hard pressed to beat this price. Book early because
when the available seats in our class are gone, they're gone, and you're not
going.

If
you had to choose one city to embody Morocco, it would be
Fez. Inside
of 8 kilometers of fortified walls is the
tangled maze of narrow streets
that make up the Fez medina, the world’s
most complicated labyrinth city.
Architecture,
mosques, monuments and palaces are the static physical evidence of Fez's
history and culture. But the living energy and soul of the city
come from its' people who go about their daily lives and practice their
trades just as they have for hundreds of years. Around each turn is a different souk known for the
craftsmen who work there. Cold lifeless metal is formed into
practical items and then reformed into works of art at the metal souk.
Turn a corner and you'll be confronted with the overwhelming smell
of the tannery where raw hides
are
turned into world famous Moroccan leather. Turn after turn
something new is around each corner. The rhythmic clicking of the
wooden shuttle as they races back and forth over the wooden looms, the
hammering and sawing of the wood workers, the filing and fitting of the
bone workers, all the sounds of the medina rushing together into an
everlasting symphony of history and life.

While Fez was the center of learning
and culture, Marrakech to the south was more of a Berber camp behind high
walls. It was transient, colorful, and exciting, a sprawling country
market set in the middle of a palm-fringed plain. As time passed,
focus shifted from Fez to Marrakech filling the city with palaces,
monuments, gardens, and tourists. But through it all, the city stays
true to its colorful roots.
There's pleanty to see and do in
Marrakech, Morocco's number one tourist destination. The Saadian Tombs
and the Bahai Palace, the Koutoubia mosque, the famous souks the historic
medersas, and the Djema el Fna square. You'll find Marrakech a
much easier city to navigate than Fez. If you want to escape the rush, the
Garden Menara is the place with its tranquil basin and olive groves set
against the Atlas Mountains. You'll
find many restaurants with fine meals, or venture into the Djemaa el
Fna where dining is more than a meal, it's an adventure.
