Description of Morocco highlights holiday, with added comfort
Enjoy nine days in Morocco on this premium adventure, with special experiences and interesting accommodation built into the itinerary. This is a small group trip where you’ll be accompanied at all times by a driver and guide.
Your adventure starts in Casablanca, before you head to the city of Fes, a great base for exploring the nearby sights of Volubilis, with its Roman ruins, and the city of Medina. Heading into the Atlas Mountains, you can enjoy some time in rural areas, and before you reach Marrakech, you’ll stop at Agafay, a desert south of the city where you can stay at a desert camp, stargaze and even ride a camel if you wish. The trip ends in magical Marrakech.
Cities are a big highlight: from Marrakech with its atmospheric central square at Jemaa el-Fnaa, to Fes and Meknes, imperial cities which both boast fantastic medinas. One of the best places you’ll stay is on the shore of a lake in the Atlas Mountains, and you’ll also get to stay in a Marrakech riad – a traditional Moroccan home.
Experiences have been designed to get you closer to the real culture of Morocco, and while you’re in Bin el Ouidane you’ll stop in on a local family for tea and lunch, where you can hear about what life is like – a fascinating insight into a country you’re already growing to love.

We provide travellers with reusable fabric tote bags. The bags are made by women in the south west of Morocco, who are provided with learning materials and training in sewing and embroidery. Pollution was highlighted as an important issue in Morocco during the 2016 UN Climate Change Conference. Following the conference, the government banned the use of plastic bags in supermarkets and has supported initiatives from all industries to reduce waste.All travel on this trip through Morocco, which is completed by private vehicle, includes a large container of drinking water. Travellers are encouraged to bring their own reusable water bottle so that they can refill it from this container. More and more hotels are also providing water for guests to refill their own bottles. This reduces the number of single-use plastic water bottles disposed of by our travellers.
People
Our trips maximize the opportunity for travellers to engage meaningfully with local culture and communities. Many experiences on our trips also support traditional cultural practices – whether artisanal, culinary or otherwise. In turn, this helps to sustain and preserve these traditional practices so that future generations may continue to learn, enjoy and benefit from them. This trip includes two meals with local families in Fes and Khenifra, providing opportunities for sharing recipes and stories, while directly supporting two local families. During our tours of the medinas in Rabat, Meknes, Fes and Marrakech we choose to visit local artisans who produce local crafts using traditional methods.In 2017 we noticed that while many of our office staff were women, we had a much lower number of women leading our trips. Our local teams found that women faced many difficulties becoming tour leaders in places like Morocco due to public perception, family concerns and the inability to obtain required licensing because of government restrictions. Our Moroccan operations team successfully lobbied the local government to include women in the government-regulated tour guide licensing program. From having no women leading trips in Morocco two years ago, we now have 15% female leaders with plans for more to join our team soon.
