day 1Adventure starts in Marrakech

Buzzy Marrakech is a whirlwind of tradition and culture, an invigorating introduction to Morocco. If you arrive with time to explore we recommend walking around the old walled medina where winding alleyways are filled with souks selling everything from street food to herbs, spices and pottery.
Usually around 6pm, you’ll say hello to your tour leader and fellow travellers at the hotel, where we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.
Your tour leader then ensures a big Moroccan welcome over a group dinner together.
