Morocco Wellbeing Yoga Journey
About the Tour
Morocco is a popular destination and is distinguished culturally by its Berber, Arabian and European influences, which add to the uniqueness of this beautiful country. With epic mountain ranges, ancient cities, sweeping deserts, hammam bathhouses, Morocco is a haven for travellers seeking adventure and wellbeing. In Islamic cultures the significance of the hammam bathhouse was both religious and civic. They provided for the needs of the local populations for general hygiene and served as a place of social get togethers. This tour takes us to the highlights of Marrakesh and the Atlas mountains, and onto the gorgeous Wellness & Yoga Retreat of Desert Rose in Essaouira on the Atlantic coast.
