Recommended travel points
Morocco, a country with a blend of cultures, is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the north, and is a member of both the Arab world and the Mediterranean world, as well as the African Union. Unlike Japan, known as the Land of the Rising Sun, it is also called the Land of the Setting Sun.
Japan, which is blessed with greenery and water, is a dry desert country that is the exact opposite of Japan, and once you step into it, you will be overwhelmed by the extraordinary world that spreads out there.
At the same time, it is a place where traveling individually can be daunting due to language, culture, and various other concerns.
This itinerary covers Morocco's famous spots, photogenic towns, desert tours, and other must-do activities in Morocco.
This 8-day Morocco trip is an all-inclusive plan with guides, meals, and transportation, ensuring ample time for shopping and photography.※
When cultures are mixed, it is 100 times more enjoyable to have a guide. On this tour, a guide who can speak Japanese will accompany you when you go around the sightseeing spots. Casablanca, Morocco's most prosperous city, the capital city of Rabat, the photogenic city of Chefchaouen, which has become a hot topic in recent years, Fes, which is also a World Heritage Site, the arid Rabat Valley and the city of Tindir, desert sightseeing in Merzouga, and a tour of the old town of Marrakech, you can enjoy the natural scenery, the preserved old historical scenery, and the daily life of Morocco.
