1 Chase Sunsets in Morocco
Taruna Seth, founder of Encompass Experiences, highly recommends chasing the golden-yellow sunsets in Morocco. The seven-day trip she curates starts in Marrakesh, where you can explore the old-world medina and its charming souks. Visit Majorelle Garden, an artist's landscape garden, and the Yves Saint Laurent Mansion, a museum dedicated to the late designer who drew inspiration from Marrakesh for his work. A private charter then takes you to Fes, an ancient city with a medina of its own. It is home to 14th-century schools Bou Inania and Al Attarine, decorated with intricate carvings and tile work. You can also visit the famous leather tanneries in the city. Another private charter from Fes takes you to the Casablanca airport for your return journey. goencompass.in
