Morocco

Beyond the bartering. Into human connection.

A trip to Morocco feels like a journey to a different world, with untouched landscapes, ancient cities and centuries-old customs, despite the recent triumph of tourism here.

Morocco Adventure Holidays: highlights

Getting lost in the Medina of Fez: for full sensory overload, look no further. The ancient walls contain a labyrinth of alleyways and tiny craft shops overrun with hundreds of people, the smell of African spices, the distant whiff of the famous tanneries and a surprise around every corner.

Indulge in Atlantic relaxation: Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast is a perfectly proportioned Portuguese fishing port complete with shuttered cottages, artisan’s workshops, seafood delicacies and whitewashed beauty. The perfect place to wind down on any activity holiday in Morocco.

Sleeping in a Bedouin camp: a two-hour bumpy camel ride into a desert, refreshing yourself at the oasis, dining in a Bedouin camp, watching the dunes change colour as the sun sets and the stars begin to illuminate the unpolluted night skies. A Morocco trip wouldn’t be complete without it.

Sunrise in the Sahara: waking in the dark and heading out into the chilly night for a climb up the sand dunes is worth the effort to see the spectacular sunrise over the golden sand of the Sahara.

Trekking the Atlas Mountains: if you love the mountains, then the extraordinary Atlas Mountains are an essential part of any adventure holiday in Morocco. Choose between quiet trails through fields of flowers and Berber villages or get your high altitude kicks ascending Mt Toubkal.
