The trip was GREAT. I thought a number of times how thankful I was that we did this one on your advice instead of the shorter one with more people that we were considering. Having a 12 person group was perfect, and spending a little more time in places was also good. We all loved the trip. Thank you very much for your excellent advice.

From minarets to medinas and waterfalls to desert camps, this immersive 12-day Moroccan journey seamlessly blends culture, cuisine, and natural beauty. Begin in Casablanca, marvelling at the magnificent Hassan II Mosque before heading inland to the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the labyrinthine alleys of Fes’s ancient medina. Along the way, savour a picnic of local olives and cheese and enjoy a pastilla dinner with a Fassi family in their home-turned-restaurant.
The adventure continues through the scenic heart of the country to Bine el Ouidane, where your lakeside resort offers serenity amid the Atlas Mountains. Here, you’ll share mint tea with a local farming family and cruise the tranquil waters. Then, it’s on to the Agafay Desert for a magical night under the stars after witnessing Ouzoud Falls.
In Marrakech, explore colourful souks, palaces, and food stalls before relaxing in Essaouira’s breezy coastal medina, famed for its seafood and artists’ flair. Cap off the trip with a final evening in Marrakech, reflecting on your journey from Roman mosaics to desert sunsets. Guided by locals and enriched by authentic encounters, this premium trip offers a deeper connection to Morocco’s soul.
