Brilliantly colorful, compelling architecturally, important historically, the Imperial Kingdom of Morocco has long been one of the world's most compelling, exotic travel destinations…for painters, writers, adventurers and photographers. To travel there with Lisl and Landt Dennis, authors of LIVING IN MOROCCO: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh is a unique opportunity. Lisl and Landt have traveled and led tours to Morocco annually for the last 20-years.

Join the Dennises in MOROCCO: Casablanca to Marrakesh and you will follow in their footsteps to an increasingly popular North African, Islamic nation, one with a strong American friendship connection. With its centuries-old layers of Mediterranean civilizations beginning with ancient Greek traders up to present day rug weaving, blue-eyed, blond-haired Berbers, Morocco was the first nation to send congratulations to President George Washington after the American independence. The Sultan's letter is in the National Archives in Washington, D.c.

Today, Morocco is a dazzling cornucopia of ancient adobe architecture, breathtaking scenery, and mysterious sounds. Probably the most haunting is the call by dozen of muezzins calling the faithful to prayer five times a day, - a symphony of magic and mystery not to be forgotten. Visiting Morocco's four Imperial Cities: Rabat, Meknes, Fez and Marrakesh, as well as ancient kasbahs and emerald green oases along the Sahara, and magical, dazzlingly white Essaouira, the ancient Portuguese fort on the Atlantic, you will have one important thing to keep in mind. When inching your way through the centuries-old lanes in one of Morocco's medieval souks, or markets, remember to pay attention when you hear "balek, balek." Mule drivers mean it when they yell, "Get out of the way!" It will be your eyes however which will be the sense most aroused by Morocco's endless visual opportunities. Veiled women walk on white sand beaches; snow capped High Atlas mountains rise over lush gardens of bougainvillea; and hidden valleys burst with red poppies beneath trees bent low with oranges, lemons, and limes.

Lisl, a well known professional photographer, will be available throughout the tour to offer personal photo assistance, conduct on-location demonstrations, and lead group photography discussions; however, the tour is not for photographers only. The fact is, Landt and Lisl welcome non-photographers. Inevitably, "observers” report that they love the opportunity to expand their vision and to share in the tour's aesthetic direction. Lisl and Landt hope you will join them October 2011 in Morocco, one of the world's truly outstanding travel destinations. detailed itinerary .
