We visit the essential cities including Casablanca with its Grand Mosque and colorful Marrakesh, a World Heritage site. With some degree of athleticism we board reluctant camels and ride off into the Sahara sand dunes for a 4 hour journey to an oasis to spend an unforgettable night. Along the way we visit the charming mountain and desert villages locked in a time warp where you will meet the friendly locals who introduce us to their historical culture influenced by their European French connection.  Climb aboard for a visual feast you will not forget. Members are welcome share any stories and memorabilia you may have and bring your passport for your stamp. Sample a special treat from this country.
