Sights & Sounds of Morocco

To those familiar with Morocco, the country evokes a distinct and memorable feeling: The sights and sounds strongly vertebrate upon the senses in a warm, comforting blanket of welcome - it just doesn't feel quite like anywhere else. The briny, salt smell from the ocean on the wind at Essaouira fort, the goats climbing the Argan oil trees along the coast, the bitter smells of tannins at the leather workshops in Fes alongside mint tea and sizzling tagines. The wail of the Muezzin, the deep russet orange of a rocky desert where sand whips against your tent, snows flashing from The High Atlas with men creeping below them in soft djellabas. The piercing blue of the Blue City of Chefchaouen, the pipes in the bazaar in Marrakech coaxing cobras from wickerwork baskets, haggling, bartering, praying, laughing, arguing, flirting.

We fully believe in, and practice Responsible Tourism, using local hotels, owned and run by locals. We put time and effort into building our relationship with them to ensure you have a a great trip.

We choose hotels based on cleanliness, comfort, safety, proximity to our route (to avoid unnecessary extra road travel), and a warm client welcome, as well as reliability in their service to us. Wherever we can, we will choose smaller more characterful, individual hotels, but in areas where tourism is still developing, this may not be available. An aspect of our adventures is to escape the ‘trappings’ of modern Western lifestyles and to experience new things which are exciting and memorable, and reflects the countries we are visiting.
