Winding the Wind-Swept Shorelines
Depart Lisbon for a scenic coastal drive, spotting several sandy beaches hidden within the cliffs, protected by 17th-century fortresses along the coast. Visit the beautiful resort town of Estoril, known as the home of Casino Estoril and Hotel PalÁcio, former rendezvous points for WWII spies and their handlers at a time when Portugal remained politically neutral.

After a short walk in the old city center, find yourself surrounded by old houses now converted into small quaint handicraft boutiques and traditional pastry shops. Ascend the mountain by shuttle for a visit to the 19th-century Pena Palace, Sintra's undisputed highlight.

A Walk Through the Past
The sweeping and dynamic history of Marrakech – an imperial capital in centuries past – is best appreciated with the help of a private guide. Today, begin your tour of the Ochre City with a visit to the Koutoubia Mosque. Constructed in the 12th century, it’s known for its a beautiful minaret which can be seen from nearly every approach to the city due to a long-standing ordinance that forbids any other building in the old city to rise above the height of a palm tree. After viewing Koutoubia Mosque, visit nearby El-Bahia Palace. Translated to English, the El Bahia Palace means “Palace of Brilliance,” and this incredible, ornate and meticulously crafted property is endowed with some of the finest ceramics in the country. This 19th century palace was built over a seven-year period for Ba Ahmed, the son of the Grand Vizier Si Moussa. Featuring a trapezoidal garden, tiled courtyard, and many hidden treasures in the form of antique objects d'art and the palace's convergence of Andalusian and Moorish architecture, it is a must-see site. Your next stop is one of most coveted archeological sites in Morocco: the Saadian Tombs. Opened to the public in 1917, they are accessed through a narrow passage which leads to an enclosed garden and into two mausoleums that host more than one hundred mosaic-decorated tombs. The Musee De Marrakech, your next stop, is an important example of Moorish architecture, and the main courtyard and chambers are host to impressive feats of design; elaborate archways, gorgeous stained glass, and a collection of ceramics that are sure to dazzle. Finally, wander through the mesmerizing souks of Marrakesh. With 18 souks selling a dizzying array of handicrafts, textiles, spices, foods, electronics, antiques and everything in between, the souks of Marrakech are the perfect place to find a keepsake to bring home, or to simply get in touch with day-to-day life in the Red City.

City Streets and Tasty Treats
With the help of a local guide and a Moroccan chef, your food tasting and spices tour will take place in Jemaa el Fna Square, the epicenter of social life in Marrakech. Exotic snail soups, chicken and lamb skewers, potato cakes and several other tasteful treats await in an atmosphere of culinary pleasure. Taste delicious dishes and watch the carnival of life around you as you learn to make bread in a 400-year-old oven with a baker overseeing your hands-on experience. Morocco is a land of unique flavors, a place that teases the senses; the history of the country is a rich blend of Berber, Arab, Jewish, Roman and European influences which have shaped the personality and variety of Moroccan dishes. An adventure on your table, as writer Paula Wolfert says, Moroccan dishes can combine more than two dozen spices to create a distinctive and sophisticated flavor, never too strong, which adds an exciting touch to the simplest meal. Common spices include cinnamon (karfa), cumin (kamoun), turmeric (kharkoum), ginger (skinjbir), pepper (libzar), paprika (tahmira), coriander (qesbour) and saffron (zaafran beldi). Moroccans enjoy food as a social experience, an occasion to gather and share the pleasures of life with friends and family, and you will discover this firsthand today as you set out to discover the foods of Marrakech.

Kasbah du Toubkal
The Kasbah du Toubkal is an extraordinary venture, the product of an imaginative Berber and European partnership. There is a shared belief that the beauty of the Toubkal National Park should be accessible to all who respect it. To this end the Kasbah has been transformed using traditional methods, from the home of a Feudal Caid into an unprecedented haven; one that provides a variety of accommodation and event possibilities to meet differing requirements. More than a simple guest house, Kasbah du Toubkal offers an extraordinary environment: the opportunity to experience the touching sincerity of Berber hospitality, in a captivating, beautiful setting. Perched in the heights of Imlil, a picturesque mountain village in the heart of the sublime Toubkal National Park, overlooking three valleys with a superb panoramic view, Kasbah du Toubkal is a dream-like refuge infused with peace and serenity. The hotel features gardens, terraces, balconies, restaurant, alcohol-free bar (guests may bring their own alcoholic drinks), underfloor heating, fans, hammam, conference room, Wi-Fi and luggage room. The Kasbah is truly a welcoming environment for those seeking a comfortable mountain refuge in a stunning setting. Kasbah du Toubkal is not a hotel in the traditional sense; it is more an extension of the hospitality that stems from the home of the Berbers who run it. This property was named one of National Geographic’s Most Unique Lodges in the World.
