For sheer diversity, Morocco is the perfect destination. We explore the imperial cities of Marrakech, Meknes and Fez and continue our journey to the mountain ranges to the south, where sand dunes and kasbahs are scattered among palm oases inhabited by friendly Berbers. A highlight of our trip is a camel trek in the Sahara and a night at a Bedouin camp. We fit in a visit to Todra Gorge, the beautiful 16th-century kasbah of Ait Benhaddou and enjoy a village walk in the picturesque Tijhza valley of the High Atlas. We complete the trip with a walk along the sandy beach of Essaouira.
  • Walk from a remote Berber community into the magnificent High Atlas Mountains
  • Experience a traditional hammam in the village of Tijhza
  • Imperial cities of Rabat, Meknes, Fez and Marrakech
  • Relax in the charming fishing port of Essaouira
  • Visit the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the impressive Todra Gorge

The accommodation on this trip showcases the range of properties in Morocco. We spend: seven nights in riads; one night in a boutique hotel in Rabat; two nights in an auberge (inn) among desert dunes; two nights in a kasbah-style hotel in Skoura; and two nights in a rustic guesthouse in Imlil village.



Marrakech: Riad Tresor (nights 1, 13 & 14)



 



The Riad Tresor is located in the heart of the bustling Marrakech Medina. Once through the doors you enter a light peaceful space. For some departures we use alternative riads due to availability.



Fes: Riad Tafilalet (nights 3 & 4)







Experience a traditional 19th-century home at this restored riad in Fez medina. The restoration respected the character of the house while ensuring maximum comfort for guests. There’s a hammam spa (additional cost) plus a roof terrace with views over the medina. For some departures we use alternative riads. 



Skoura: Chez Talout (nights 7 & 8)







Chez Talout is set on top of a hill overlooking the lush palm grove of Skoura. It features an outdoor swimming pool and a shaded terrace.



Essaouira: Riad Al Madina (nights 11 & 12)







Located in the heart of the medina this old Essaouira house, built in 1871, retains all the charm and elegance of the period. It has a pleasant rooftop terrace and a patio with fountains. We use alternative riads for some departures.



Worth knowing 



In winter, some of the accommodation can feel quite cold as they are often poorly heated or not heated at all. Some properties in more rural areas may only have power in the evening (which also means only heating in the evening); however, blankets are provided to keep you warm at night. 

The accommodation shown has been booked and agreed in advance, however we may need to make changes to a property of similar or higher standard after you have booked. We will endeavour to inform you of any changes in advance which could, on rare occasions, be at late notice.



About riads 



Riads are traditional Moroccan homes, generally in the old part of the city or medina, where the wealthiest people would historically live. They’re typically built around a central corridor with windows facing an internal courtyard (external windows are rare). Most have a rooftop terrace where breakfast is served. A night in a riad is an authentic Moroccan experience; however, riads do not have hotel-style facilities. Additionally, the rooms are not standardised and come in different sizes and shapes. Riads  are built to keep sunlight to a minimum in order to keep the interiors cool in the extreme summer heat. In winter they become a cosy haven.
