[I Went on a $20,000 Arctic Cruise and It Was Worth Every Penny]( The trip with Abercrombie & Kent was life-changing. Destination of the Day Morocco Occupying the northwest shoulder of the African continent, [Morocco]( is rich with history and full of color. For some, its essence can be found in the bustling souks and walled medinas of Imperial Cities like [Marrakesh]( and [Fez](.

For culture vultures, the mosques, museums, and palaces of cities that date back to the eighth century are the main attraction. Meanwhile, nature lovers will find magnificent scenery from the [wild beaches]( of the Atlantic coast to the snow-capped [High Atlas Mountains](. Vacation Like a Pro Haggling isn’t just for [the souks](. It’s also for [tours]( car rentals, and especially taxis.
