Morocco > Before Sunrise in Morocco: A Couple's Getaway with David

Morocco is pure magic for the heart—golden dunes stretching for miles, hidden riads draped in rose-red walls, and the city's rhythm blending with quiet desert nights. Stroll through Marrakech’s ancient streets, hand in hand, discovering secret courtyards and the scent of fresh jasmine. Dine under a canopy of stars in the Agafay Desert, where candlelight flickers against soft sands. Ride horseback along the shores of Essaouira at sunset, feeling the ocean breeze against your skin. There is magic in every moment, and they're waiting for you and your partner to experience.

This is a couples trip. Couples will have to book the trip individually. Each couple will have their own room at each hotel.
