Description of Morocco in depth tour

A three-week odyssey through the best of Morocco’s ancient history, culture, soaring mountains and desert. Join a small group of like-minded fellow travellers as your expert guide lifts the lid on the warm hospitality and awe-inspiring landscapes that make Morocco the jewel of North Africa.

Starting in Casablanca and finishing in Marrakech, this tour will take you and your group the breadth of the country. Uncover the past at the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis and at Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, lose yourself in the maze of Fes’ medieval old town or in Marrakech’s legendary souks, marvel at the magnificent Erg Chebbi sand dunes in the Sahara Desert, and share tea with an Amazigh (Berber) family in the Dades Valley.

This holiday is perfect for adventurous travellers wanting an in-depth introduction to Morocco, and to share the experience with a group of like-minded other people. Throughout the tour your guide will introduce you to warmly welcoming local people, show you the most delicious local produce, help you perfect your haggling skills in Morocco’s myriad of vibrant markets and give you an understanding of local culture and customs.

Holiday information

Small group tour, ideal for solos & couples:
Small group travel is not large group travel scaled down. It is modeled on independent travel – but with the advantage of a group leader to take care of the itinerary, accommodation and tickets, and dealing with the language. It’s easy to tick off the big sights independently – but finding those one-off experiences, local festivals, travelling markets and secret viewpoints is almost impossible for someone without the insider knowledge gained from years in the field. For those with limited time, a small group tour will save valuable time in planning, and on holiday.

Responsible Travel

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.

Planet

Where possible we choose to travel by land rather than air. By minimizing the use of flights on our trips, we are making journeys more stimulating and more sustainable for travellers. This trip through Morocco does not include any flights, providing all transport by road. We ensure our vehicles are well maintained and fuel-efficient. We use vehicles that are an appropriate size to suit the group size. For example, we wouldn’t use a 16-seater van if we only had five people travelling with us. We plan our routes of travel so that we spend as little time as possible travelling.


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.

People

All aspects of this trip (on the ground) are operated by Moroccans. This includes our leaders, vehicle drivers, local site guides, and accommodation providers. This trip stays at Riad Nesma in Marrakech. This property is owned by a local couple, meaning that ownership is 50% female, which isn’t the norm in Morocco. The owners work with Amal, a local non-profit association that provides hospitality training to disadvantaged women. Riad Nesma offers employment to women who have completed training at Amal.


We go direct to the source for many of the inclusions on our trips. This ensures that income from tourism is directly benefitting local communities everywhere we go. We also seek out and support businesses owned by women. Tourism can empower women in many ways, but particularly through the creation of jobs and income generating opportunities in small and larger-scale tourism and hospitality-related enterprises. This trip includes lunch at Tawesna, a women-only co-op in Ait Ben Haddou. The women of the co-op love sharing their specialty dishes and stories with visitors, and the income and independence generated is a huge boost to their self-confidence and quality of life.
