Most Inspirational Moment
There were a few, but spending time with a local family was one of the moments that really stayed with me. We received such a warm welcome, shared an incredible meal and had the chance to experience a more personal side of Morocco. Our final day at Saida’s home and farm was another highlight, preparing traditional tagine, tea and bread together before sitting down for lunch. These were the moments where you felt less like you were simply visiting Morocco and more like you were experiencing it
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hicham was warm, personable and engaging, and his knowledge of Morocco added so much to the journey. His own Berber family background made some of the experiences particularly interesting, and he was great at bringing the group together. He joined us for meals, shared stories and created a really relaxed, almost family like atmosphere throughout the trip.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Morocco is a country of contrasts, and that’s what makes this trip so memorable. You’ll go from the buzz and colour of Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara and eventually the peaceful surroundings of Domaine de La Roseraie. There are some longer drives along the way, but they take you through some incredible landscapes and allow you to experience very different sides of the country. My biggest advice is to embrace the journey and come ready for the variety. Some of my favourite moments weren’t necessarily the big name sights, but the smaller cultural experiences, meals and conversations along the way.
