Morocco, the ancient Berber kingdom that captivated the imagination of Yves Saint Laurent to craft his masterful designs in hues of different colors, rather than the stark monochromes that he was used to.
The moorish influences of Fes is evident in its lip-smacking cuisine and medina. Sip on some freshly squeezed orange juice and follow your historian guide as he takes you through the labyrinth street of seven turns and then on to the ancient University. Some mint tea and a book is a surefire way to flood your mind with Moroccon memories!
Wind your way on the ship of the desert to the wild barren landscape of the Saharan desert. Behold its beauty as its mighty golden sand dunes greet your eye. As the sun descends a starlit sky and some folk music will lull you to a gentle slumber under the comfort of your luxury tents. Witness the enchantment of the mighty Dades Gorges and Atlas Mountains bespeckled with remote Berber villages, their lives an evocation of a time long gone.
From the quiet mountain ranges you will descend down to dynamic Marrakesh with gleaming palaces, which comes alive at night in its maze-like medina. Life abounds in its streets with tradesmen, musicians and the delicious cuisine served up in Tagines. As the sun sets over the Horizon settle down on soft cushions in Sun-drenched terraces overlooking the medina, as you sip on expertly crafted cocktails.

“I recently took a trip to Morroco planned by Encompass. I have never used a travel curator before to plan a vacation, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Everything from the hotels, excursions, and restaurants were well planned and simply amazing. Encompass connected us to the best tour guides and lead us on an unforgettable adventure through Marrakesh. I have never left a trip feeling as satisfied as I did with the trip planned by Encompass.”

“When you take a trip using Encompass you can tell they have done their research in which they think of EVERY little detail to make your vacation extremely memorable and worry-free.
Before leaving for our trip to Morocco we were sent a very detailed agenda, they were able to answer any questions we had (e.g., the customs of the country so we could pack/dress appropriately), and reassured us that once we landed we would have both a driver and a local guide waiting for us so we didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING in regards to getting from the airport to the first location of our trip.
Upon arrival they showed us Morocco like no other! We got to see all the different things that make it such a special country…..from staying in the Atlas Mountains at a beautiful, hidden resort in which we could hike all day and enjoy incredible service and amenities at night…..to experiencing all the different things that make Marrakech unique such as: shopping at high end stores and as well as the souks, eating at incredible restaurants, visiting a museum, take a carriage ride through the city with a guide to learn about the history and culture of the city, and staying in a hotel that was like staying in a museum based on the fact it was so ornate, unique, with incredible customer service…..to completing the trip with a sunset camel ride followed by a candlelight dinner under a tent in the desert.
I’ve never had more people tell me “your trip looked incredible!” after I posted several pictures and videos on social media….& I would have to say I agree. It was a trip of a lifetime and would HIGHLY recommend Encompass to anyone looking for their own trip of a lifetime.”
