The North Morocco tour takes on a vastly different palate from the South. The north is a region of remarkable diversity, with a rich history, a vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty. The rustic countryside of the south is replaced by green rolling hills and coastlines visited by many ancient influences.

Day 1: Casablanca
The workshop starts in Casablanca, the art deco heart of Morocco and also home to the Hassan II Mosque, one of the most impressive in the world.
Day 2: Rabat
Rabat, the capital of Morocco, contrasts the modern development and the classic traditional charm on a coastal seascape. Wooden fishing boats still traverse the river against the quaint neighborhood of the Kasbah Oudaya. The city includes a full range of monuments as well as architectural and decorative elements from various dynasties
Day 3 + 4: Asilah – Tangier
We explore the international art hub of Asilah and move on to Tangier, a city rich in creative history and street photography opportunities. Serving as the European gateway to Africa, its diverse influences make Tangier unique in Morocco.
Day 5 + 6: Chefchaouen
The Blue Peal of Morocco, Chefchaouen, is one of the most photogenic cities in the world. Opportunities will surround us as the entire town is awash in blue from the streets to homes. We explore within and take in views of the town from its surrounds.
Day 7 + 8: Volubilis -Meknes – Fes – Middle Atlas
The ruined Roman city of Volubilis allows us to explore the UNESCO World Heritage site for beautifully preserved mosaics amongst the surrounds of the rolling green hills.
The Middle Atlas Mountains stretching through the north are a breathtaking range of rolling hills and peaks. They are known for their stunning natural beauty, dense forests, and sparkling lakes.
The ancient medina of Fes is a labyrinth of possibilities for photographers. It provides boundless insight into its colorful origins as the cultural and spiritual center of Morocco. The Fes tannery and its many souks offer a window into the history of Morocco.
