I thoroughly enjoyed my journey from Madrid, through Portugal, and into Morocco, including the desert extension. The group leaders were fantastic, and the itinerary was thoughtfully organized. The local guides were outstanding, and the accommodations were comfortable, adding to the overall experience.
Take in the rich history and diverse culture of Morocco on a 12-day journey through this North African gem. Marvel at the Mosque of Hassan II in French-infused Casablanca, discover the charming streets of the Medina in magical Meknes, uncover ancient history at the Roman ruins of Volubilis, wander through the labyrinth of twisting alleyways in Fes el Bali, relax in the lakeside settlement of Bine el Ouidane and as the sun goes down, watch Djemaa el-Fna come to life with markets and magicians in Marrakech. End your adventure by relaxing in the coastal, European-inspired Essaouira where you can kick back, feast on fresh seafood and take it all in.
Get to know the vibrant culture and colorful backdrops that are distinctively Morocco. Explore Fes, one of the holiest cities in the world, on a walking tour in the medina, where donkeys and mules laden with goods still walk the ancient market. Make your way to your desert camp in a Jeep 4x4 and spend a full day exploring the Sahara Desert. Travel the rugged “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs” to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kasbah Ait-Ben-Haddou. In Marrakech, get a true taste of Moroccan hospitality during an interactive cooking class at a women’s cooperative. Experience Morocco's deep history, unique atmosphere, and welcoming people on an unforgettable journey.
Get ready to go beyond the typical and immerse yourself in the heart of Morocco on this week-long journey. Start in Marrakech, where the pulse of the city beats through its vibrant souks, aromatic spice stalls, and lively squares. Then, leave the city behind and venture deep into the breathtaking Ourika Valley and High Atlas Mountains, where the traditional Amazigh village of Tizi N’Oucheg awaits. Here, life moves at a different pace, and you’ll be part of it — baking fresh bread, weaving with local artisans, planting alongside villagers, and hiking scenic trails with a shepherd to glimpse his daily world. Wander through the local market, soak in the stunning mountain scenery, and experience the warmth of a community where traditions are passed down through generations. This isn’t just a visit — it’s a chance to become part of a place most travellers never get to see.
