Morocco Eclipse 2027: Wonders of Earth & Sky
- Trip code: 454X040
- Dauer: 9
- Stil: The Geluxe Collection
When the sky itself becomes the main event, you know the journey will be unforgettable. Over nine days in Morocco, you’ll wander vibrant medinas alive with colour and spice, hike dramatic mountain landscapes, and savour meals that linger in both flavour and memory. Then comes the pinnacle: standing in the Blue City of Chefchaouen as the world slips into darkness during the 2027 total Solar Eclipse. Equal parts culture, adventure, and cosmic wonder — this is Morocco at its brightest, even under a shadowed sky.
