Then, travel to the Moorish city of Rabat, capital of Morocco, to visit the Mohammed V Mausoleum, dedicated to the founder of modern Morocco, grandfather of the current king. View the Mauresque-style Hassan Tower and Oudaya Kasbah, along with its scenic Andalusian garden. Continue to Fes for a special cocktail reception followed by a welcome dinner.

As the sun sets over the dunes, celebrate your unforgettable desert foray with a scenic sundowner and a traditional meal in front of a campfire.
