Hidden within the Oases of the Dadès Valley is a Moroccan jewel known El-Kelaa M’Gouna, affectionately known as the Valley of the Roses. This week-long tour offers the perfect experience of this heavenly town, famous for its sea of pink, Persian rose landscapes. The rose capital also produces other goods made of 'eau de rose' such as hand and body soaps, oil, crème perfumes and dried flowers popular among Moroccans and tourists. During the month of May, an annual three-day Rose Festival takes place in the Valley of the Roses. A Rose Queen is elected to reign over the year's scented crop and likely festivities draw locals and travellers from all around. As well as the Rose Festival, explore the magic of Marrakech, the nation's sensational capital. This tour is for a minimum of four people (fewer people will be more expensive) and the festival takes place on the second or third weekend in May.

Morocco’s vast deserts are best avoided during midsummer as the scorching heat makes staying out in the daytime unfeasible. With the benefit of a sea breeze, however, coastal towns can be hot in July and August without being unbearable. Spring is a fantastic time to visit Morocco, with warm weather on the coasts, desert, and mountains – which at this time are lush and green. Morocco can still be enjoyed during Ramadan, but food will only be available from tourist-oriented establishments during the day, and out of respect you should not eat or drink in public during this time.
