    Casablanca

    Sitting on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco. It serves as a major port and business hub for the entire continent of Africa.

The city’s renowned King Hassan II Mosque is a must-see!

  • Marrakech

    Marrakech sits north of the foothills of the majestic Atlas Mountains and is one of Morocco’s four imperial cities. Marrakech has been referred to as “the red city” because many of the old buildings were built with red sandstone. The city has long been known as a popular trading destination and is now visited by tourists for its authentic markets and vendors. Marrakech still has a very traditional old town but modern neighborhoods have also emerged alongside these historic areas.

Highly recommended trip

Driver and guide were excellent as I have come to expect from Yampu. Good food and comfortable hotels allow one to concentrate on cultural sites. There is much more than Petra in Jordan. Very interesting “desert castles” and the early Islamic art and Byzantine mosaics were fabulous. Highly recommended trip.

Yampu is the Best!

We had an exceptional trip in Egypt coordinated by Yampu. The guides were very knowledgeable. They took care of everything from the minute we got off the plane, personally escorting us through every step of the trip to the time we boarded to go home. Yampu provided great value and would highly recommend them to our friends
