A & S Journeys, a boutique tour operator specializing in custom tailored vacations, has added Morocco to its list of African, South and East Asian, Middle Eastern, and South American destinations. As in all of its destinations, A & S offers discerning travelers to Morocco access to the country’s most exclusive hotels and Riads (traditional Moroccan houses or palace). They can also immerse themselves in the local culture and cuisine, and explore the country in-depth in the company of the most highly qualified, English-fluent escorts and guides.

Itineraries can include such distinctive properties as the Palais Amani in the Medina of Fez or the Palais Faraj Suites & Spa, a luxury hotel perched on a hilltop overlooking the medieval city of Fez. When visiting Marrakech, travelers can choose accommodations at the luxurious La Mamounia or the Royal Mansour where they stay in their own individual Riad and are treated like royalty.

In addition to expertly guided sightseeing throughout their journey, travelers can enjoy intimate cultural experiences such as sharing a cup of mint tea with a Berber family in a remote village in the Atlas Mountains. They’ll also be treated to amazing sights such as tree-climbing goats that feed on Argan seeds.

“Morocco has always been a fascinating destination for travelers in search of exotic, culturally rich, and romantic escapes; and, therefore, it fits in beautifully with the type of experiences we offer,” said Sheri Fazleabas, president of A & S. “It also has the unique and exclusive hotels, luxury land transportation, attentive and experienced guides and escorts, and other tourism services that meet our high standards.”

A & S works with travel agents, providing them with meticulously planned itineraries that are custom tailored to their clients’ particular interests, accommodation needs, dining, and other personal preferences, as well as any special requirements for children, multigenerational parties, etc. And once an agent’s clients have begun their journey, A & S and its local representatives are on-call to assist them throughout their trip. All arrangements provided to agents by A & S are commissionable.
