About This Trip

With the ferry boat across the Straits of Gibraltar, it's easy to explore Morocco and Spain together, like this 15-day journey. Spend six days in Morocco, taking in the exotic ambiance of the ancient Arab world in the northwest corner of Africa. The white capital of Rabat, the maze-like Fez Medina, and the fantastic blue Chefchaouen, each city has its unique charm to earn your favor. Then, take the rest of the 9-day in Spain to experience the same old but completely different European civilization. Marvel at its magnificent architecture like the Alcazar of Seville, the Alhambra Palace of Granada, and so on.
