Fancy eating tajine with a traditional Berber family? Then look no further than Headwater�s captivating new �Imperial Cities� tour. Experience the exotic and visit the classical sites of Volubilis and Fes, explore unspoilt and surprisingly verdant countryside, feed biscuits to Barbary Apes and taste bread baked in a communal oven from a traditional tribe. Headwater provides carefully picked, 5* accommodation throughout the tour, allowing you to enjoy the best of Morocco at the height of comfort.
The �Imperial Cities� tour introduces you to the heart of �real� Morocco. It�s a journey of extra-ordinary variety and beauty, balancing the local charm of traditional Berber mountain villages with the splendour and opulence of some of the country�s finest Imperial cities.
Headwater will take you to Meknes � the �Versailles of Morocco� and the mediaeval city of Rabat which houses some of the finest Arab monuments in the Muslim world. Here you�ll take in the Royal Palace, Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed V where the late King Hassan II is buried. Visit Fes, the most ancient of the Imperial cities and the symbolic heart of Morocco and enjoy the atmospheric medina � a maze of traffic free, narrow, winding streets, covered bazaars, fondouqs, medersas and mosques. You�ll find everything here from brightly coloured jellabas to pretty little ceramics, wonderfully pungent spices and, of course, tobacco and mint tea.
Finally, take a trip to the gorgeous Roman ruined city of Volubilis. Squatting proudly beneath Jbel Zerhoun and visible for miles, Volubilis is, without at doubt, the finest archaeological site in Morocco.
