Morocco Hiking Tours

On a small-group Exodus hiking tour of Morocco, you can expect expert guidance from experienced local leaders who know the terrain intimately. Our tours offer a mix of treks and cultural experiences, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the landscapes while learning about the rich history and traditions of Morocco. Accommodations range from comfortable hotels and traditional riads to camps, providing a well-rounded experience of the country’s diverse hospitality. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with local communities, gaining insights into their way of life and enjoying authentic Moroccan cuisine along the way.

As with any hiking or trekking trip, you’ll need sturdy walking boots and thick socks to tackle any uneven terrain. On many of our tours, you’ll be doing an average of six hours of walking a day, so make sure you feel prepared.

For walking tours in Morocco, we recommend loose, breathable athletic wear designed to absorb sweat, and shorts that aren’t too revealing. Sunglasses and a sun hat are essential, as you’ll be exposed to the sun for most of the day.

For downtime outside of hiking, you might prefer loose, breathable clothing made from linen or cotton. Keep in mind that it is customary for women to keep their shoulders covered in Morocco.  Having layers handy will also mean you’ll be comfortable during the daytime and in the evenings when it’s cooler. The climate can be more unstable up in the Atlas Mountains, so we suggest bringing a light waterproof just in case. Be sure to check your trip notes for more detailed advice on packing.

Planning a trip to Morocco is easy when you book a hiking tour with Exodus. Detailed itineraries and trip notes provide comprehensive information about accommodation, transportation, food options, and essential details like visas and vaccinations. Once you’ve chosen your ideal trip, our expert team takes care of the logistics, allowing you to relax and anticipate the adventure that awaits in Morocco.

Once you embark on your adventure, you’ll have an expert guide enhancing your vacation. You can rest assured that they’ll know the country better than anyone, but they’re not only there to show you the way. They’ll also give you some fabulous insights into local life, traditions and customs, as well as pointing out largely undiscovered hidden gems that lie away from the more well-trodden paths.

Outside the hikes themselves on our Morocco hiking tours, Marrakech stands out as a vibrant and culturally rich city to visit. Its bustling streets are filled with unique sights, smells, and sounds, offering an immersive experience unlike any other. From the lively souks and historic medina to the stunning architecture and vibrant atmosphere, Marrakech captivates visitors with its charm and allure. Many of our hiking tours begin or end in Marrakech, allowing you a taste of this incredible city. Looking to extend your stay? Talk to our travel specialists!
