morocco food around the world tour -plus new groups available for sign up-

We are in the midst of announcing our 2025 group trip options!    We've got four to kick off and we'll be featuring each of them in the newsletter for the next eight weeks.  If you've signed up on-line as interested, you'll be getting even earlier notice via email.
 
As part of Brittany's Flavors of the World Tour, we are introducing a trip to Morocco!  Led by Brittany, this trip will focus on culture, history and…….food!  In our humble opinion, there is no better way to learn about a country's culture than experiencing and understanding their culinary traditions and sampling the goods!
 
This extraordinary culinary adventure in April 2025 features  three main cities: Casablanca, Fez and Marrakesh plus taking a scenic drive through the Atlas Mountains and an overnight at a Desert Camp!  The accommodations are in locally-owned Riad (traditional Moroccan house/palace turned into a boutique hotel), with 1 night at a Desert Camp! This extensive journey through Morocco will give you a true taste of this country and all it has to offer. 
 
There are so many things to love about this truly unique adventure.  Click below for more information:

destination of the week
marrakech, morocco

Marrakech is the city of legends today more than ever. Experience the enticing labyrinth of centuries old souks, taste the flavors of a cuisine that is a unique mix of African, Middle Eastern and European, or enjoy lounging by a palm tree-lined swimming pool while soaking up the sun. There's a little bit of everything in Marrakech, making it an easy choice for travelers that want something a little out of the ordinary.
 
Marrakech beats to the rhythm of the Djemaa el-Fna, the square at the heart of the medina. Here, snake charmers, acrobats, and street food hawkers create a vibrant fusion of sounds, sights, and smells. Life in the old city unfolds before you. Walk in one direction, and you’ll reach imperial palaces and the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque; go another way, and you’ll find ancient tombs. Surrounding you are alleys and souks selling almost anything your heart desires. When the sensory overload demands a break, head to the tranquil Jardin Majorelle or a hammam for a steam and a scrub. Finish your day with some fluffy couscous and drinks at a chic riad.
 
Marrakech’s culture plays out in a variety of ways. Listen to storytellers in the Djemaa el-Fna, and the call to prayer as it floats over the medina. Take in the ornate mosaics, carved stucco, and painted wood of the city’s ancient palaces. These highlights date back centuries, but Marrakech has also made strides in recent years to bolster its modern cultural presence. The Marrakech International Film Festival attracts big Hollywood (and Bollywood) names. And an ever-expanding group of galleries showcase the next generation of Moroccan artists.

travel tip of the week
Practice the art of hagging

​Haggling is a game and part of the shopping experience in Morocco. Try not to get frustrated – the ideal scenario is that both sides come away feeling like they got a fair price.
For big purchases, do your research, have a price in mind or shop around until you do. Sometimes vendors say to pay what you feel like, so if you don't have a price, ask some questions: how many hours did it take to make? Where did the materials come from and at what price?​
