Itinerary

Marrakech Marrakech

The adventure begins in buzzy Marrakech, a whirlwind of tradition and culture and an invigorating introduction to Morocco.

Around 6pm, say salaam alaikum to your tour leader and fellow travellers at the hotel, where we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.

Your tour leader then ensures a big Moroccan welcome by arranging dinner.

Want to explore further? Secure pre-tour nights through your sales representative.

Accommodation: Hotel Ayoub (or similar)

Meals included: Dinner

Join your tour leader this morning for an exploration of the city, which takes in: Koutoubia Mosque, the largest mosque in Marrakech; Djemaa El Fna, the main city square, packed with stalls and performers; and the souks, where you can meet the vendors and learn how to properly barter thanks to the guidance of your tour leader.

Then enjoy free time in the afternoon for solo exploration. For a spellbinding evening, consider visiting Chez Ali restaurant to watch their nightly show, which combines traditional songs, dances, fantasia and even equestrian aerobatics.

Accommodation: Hotel Ayoub (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Bid farewell to Marrakech and transfer (2hr 30min-3hr) to Casablanca, taking a route through semi-arid plains with views of the Atlas Mountains.

Upon arrival, we visit the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest in the world, which has a soaring 689ft (210m) minaret and a retractable roof to enable the sea breeze to cool the building. We have a guided tour of the mosque and the stunning ablutions hall with a local specialist. Please note: knees and upper arms must be covered.

After, we drive (1hr 30min) to Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Here, we have free time to explore. Although mostly modern, Rabat has an excellent old town, where you can see distinctive buildings with Moorish and Andalusian designs. Also visit the Jewish Quarter (Mellah) before continuing to the busy souk to sample locally made treats, such as harsha (a semolina bread) with amlou (a special almond paste).

Accommodation: Imperial Boutique Hotel or Le Musee Hotel (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Depart Rabat this morning and transfer (4hr 30min) to Volubilis, the largest and best-kept Roman ruins in Morocco. Under the Romans, it was an affluent city. This can be seen in the beautiful second-century forum, the basilica and the capitol. We wander through the streets, discovering remains of townhouses with mosaic floors and see baths, oil presses, aqueducts and shops, all of which reveal the daily lives of the inhabitants.

After exploring this site with a local guide, we transfer (one hour) to the ancient city of Fez.

Accommodation: Riad Tafilalet or Fes Tresors or Palais Al Firdaous (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Join your tour leader today for an immersive guided tour of Fez, the intellectual and religious centre of Morocco. Our five to six-hour exploration takes us to landmarks of the city, including the ornate city gate known as Bab Boujloud and the historic madrasas (theological colleges) of Al-Attarine and Bou Inania, plus the Jewish District (Mellah).

No exploration of the city would be complete without a visit to the medina, one of the largest in the world, an immense warren of souks, home to thousands of craftsfolk with their tiny shops opening onto the narrow alleyways.

Accommodation: Riad Tafilalet or Fes Tresors or Palais Al Firdaous (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Bid farewell to Fez and transfer (five to six hours) to the Ziz Valley. En route, we stop at a women’s co-operative to learn more about their work, while also having the opportunity to contribute to the rural economy.

Upon arrival, we have a guided tour in the Ziz Valley, before settling into our accommodation for the night.

Accommodation: Maison Vallee du Ziz (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Continuing our journey, we drive (one hour) to Erfoud. Though small, this oasis town has become known for fossils, which are excavated locally and cut, carved and polished by master crafters. Spend time here browsing the fossil markets and enjoying lunch before we complete our journey (one hour) to Merzouga, on the edge of the Sahara.

Upon arrival, we leave our main luggage at a local inn, taking only what we need for the desert in an overnight bag. We then meet our transport: a caravan of camels led by cameleers. They’ll show you how to mount and ride your camels, before we start our trek (45-60 minutes) into the dunes. There’ll be time for photo stops and to watch sunset, before we arrive at our camp, where we enjoy dinner and music under the stars.

Accommodation: Akabar camp (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner

Leaving the Sahara, we journey (five hours) to Todra Gorge, a dramatic limestone tunnel formed by the River Todra. Here, we walk (45-60 minutes) along a narrow road with plenty of photo opportunities. Of course, there are the usual pop-up souvenir stalls to tempt you.

We then visit a local family home for lunch (paid for locally). Aside from enjoying delicious Moroccan cuisine, this is also an excellent chance to experience traditional Moroccan life, which your tour leader will be happy to talk you through.

After, we depart for Skoura, an oasis town of rammed-earth buildings, where we can unwind with a dip in the pool.

Accommodation: Kasbah Ait Benhadda (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Join a local guide today to walk through the palm groves of Tinghir, an oasis at the end of Todra Gorge. Along the way, we hike through a beautiful landscape of red rocks, punctuated by the green of the palms and other vegetation, while also seeing the clay villages and people who live there.

Accommodation: Kasbah Ait Benhadda (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

Leave Skoura this morning and transfer (1hr 30min) to the well-preserved ksar (fortified village) of Ait Benhaddou. This World Heritage site is one of the most spectacular in the Atlas range, and the location of several Hollywood films including Gladiator (2000). Here, we meet a local guide to tour the atmospheric alleys and see the earthen walls of the dwellings.

After, we continue (four to five hours) through the mountains to Ouirgane, a rural village in Toubkal National Park.

Accommodation: Ouirgane Ecolodge or Auberge Chez Momo (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast

After a busy few days of adventure, today has been left free for you to relax in your beautiful mountain setting. You can unwind by the pool, enjoying the views, or join a walk with a local guide around Lake Ouirgane and the surrounding area.

This evening, we come together for a farewell meal, in which we can unite and discuss our favourite moments from the tour.

Accommodation: Ouirgane Ecolodge or Auberge Chez Momo (or similar)

Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner

You’ve explored Imperial cities, camped in the Sahara and walked through some of the most spectacular landscapes in Morocco; but, after breakfast, we transfer (two hours) to Marrakech, where our adventure ends at the airport.

Alternatively, if you’d like to extend your adventure, perhaps in the relaxed seaside cities of Essaouira or Agadir, speak to your sales representative to discuss our large range of extension options.

Meals included: Breakfast

Essential Info

Is this trip for you?

This trip is rated Activity Level 2 (Easy & Moderate). For more information on our trip gradings, visit the Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip, please contact us.

Journeys: To see the highlights of Morocco, there are some long journeys. We are not confined to our vehicle though, as there are plenty of photo stops and opportunities to stretch our legs. The approximate drive times are noted in the daily itinerary.

Weather: Temperatures are hot in summer (May to September), but we try to make the most of the coolest parts of the day for our sightseeing, so expect some early starts. During winter (November to March), the daytime is usually mild, but it can get cold at night, particularly in the desert and mountains, so pack some winter clothes.

Water: It is advisable to only brush teeth with bottled/boiled water and to avoid salads washed with tap water.

Following a review of all our trips we have categorised this trip as generally not suitable for persons of reduced mobility. However if you are a regular traveller on such trips, please contact customer services to discuss the trip and your personal condition.

Joining Instructions

Hotel: Hotel Ayoub, Rue Ibn Qodama, Marrakech 40000
Phone: +212 5244-33374
Recommended arrival time: Hotel check-in is from 2pm, we usually have a welcome briefing around 6pm on the evening of the first day.

Getting to the start hotel

The start hotel is approximately a 20-minute drive from the airport. Exodus provides free arrival transfers to the start hotel from the airport for all customers.

If you would like further information on joining this trip, please speak to your sales representative.

Catching your return flight

The adventure ends at Marrakech Airport. Speak to your sales representative for the transfer times.

Marrakech airport

The amount of time it takes to get through Marrakech Airport can vary considerably. Therefore, we suggest you mitigate for delays and allow two hours to get through immigration, security and baggage reclaim on arrival. Take a pen with you to complete the arrivals form and have the details of your accommodation to hand for this purpose. Operators are not allowed to wait inside the terminal building for clients, so please find your Exodus representative outside the main doors.

Upon departure from Marrakech, we suggest allowing three hours to navigate the airport: check in, bag drop, immigration and security can take even longer on exit. The airport doesn’t accept mobile boarding passes, so we suggest having a printed boarding pass to avoid subjecting yourself to further delays.

Full joining instructions including local emergency numbers will be sent to you as part of our Final Joining Instructions. If you do not receive these at least a week before departure, or require them earlier please contact our office or your travel agent.

Location start: Marrakech
Location end: Marrakech

Vaccinations and Health

There are no mandatory vaccination requirements; however, tetanus, typhoid and hepatitis vaccines are all recommended.

There is evidence that Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS) is spread by contact with camels. This trip includes a sunset camel ride , which is undertaken at your own risk; we suggest that you visit the Travel Health Pro website which includes information about the virus.

Passport

Remember to check the expiration date of your passport if travelling internationally. Many countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after the date of your scheduled return.

Visa

Travellers from the UK, US and EU normally do not need a visa to enter Morocco. Please note, visa requirements often change and it is your responsibility to obtain any required visas for this trip. Therefore, we recommend that you check with the nearest embassy or consulate of your chosen destination(s), including any countries you may be transiting or transferring through.

Some local governments provide guidance on what visas their citizens need. To help, we’ve gathered a selection of useful links below.

• Australia: www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/africa/morocco
• Canada: www.travel.gc.ca/destinations/morocco
• United Kingdom: www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/morocco/entry-requirements
• USA: www.travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Morocco.html

Food & Drink

Moroccan food is, generally speaking, excellent. Breakfasts usually consist of bread and jam with coffee or tea. Where meals are not included, budget for the following approximate prices.

Lunches: 60-100 dirhams (US$6-US$10)
Dinners:
- In cities: 80-250 dirhams (US$8-US$25)
- In small towns and villages: 60-120 dirhams (US$6-US$12)
Drinks in restaurants
- Soft drinks: 10-20 dirhams (US$1-1.90)
- Beer: 40-80 dirhams (US$4-US$8)
- Wine: 180 dirhams (US$18) and more

Vegetarians can be catered for, but there is a fairly limited choice of vegetarian couscous, tajine or omelettes. This is particularly the case during the more rural sections of the trip. If you have special dietary requirements, inform us prior to the trip. If you have a specific medical/dietary need (eg coeliac or vegan), you may find it helpful to bring some food with you from home.

Weather

From April to June, and in September, Marrakech and the north are pleasantly hot, with temperatures averaging 26C (79F) in the day and falling to 16C (61F) at night. It is unusual for there to be much humidity, so it is quite pleasant except at midday when the sun is very strong. Desert temperatures are like those in Marrakech, with the nights usually a little cooler and the days a little hotter. Mountain temperatures are cooler than in Marrakech.

In winter, the daytime temperatures in Marrakech are around 18C-22C (64F-72F) with night temperatures falling to 4C-7C (39F-45F). The days should be sunny and a particularly attractive feature of winter is the clear views of the snow-covered Atlas. The temperatures in the south are generally a couple of degrees higher than those north of the mountains. There is a small chance of rain and it has even been known to snow very infrequently in January and sometimes February on the higher desert plateau (in which case it is cold at night and early in the morning on the southern side of the Atlas).
