Fez, also known as the spiritual capital of Morocco, is a charming city with immense historical value. Most of lies in its Old Media district and Jewish Quarter, but also in the new part of the city called “Fez jdid”.

Marrakech is probably one of the most famous tourist destinations in Morocco and for a good reason. The city’s red buildings and palm tree lined streets give it an exotic feel, in addition to the Jamaa El Fna square that attracts visitors from all over the world.

• By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Intrepid Foundation partner, Education for All. Donations help them support girls in the High Atlas Mountains through secondary school, bringing a generation of women out of the cycle of illiteracy, poverty and early marriage.
• This trip includes a hike through the scenic Dades Valley on Day 10. The hike will be tailored to each group, but you will need a moderate level of fitness and appropriate footwear and clothing to enjoy it. Please let your leader know if you would like to opt out of this activity.
• Ramadan is an annual month-long festival, during which travel can be a rewarding cultural experience, however some regular services may not be available during the day, such as restaurants or cafes, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You’ll find dates and further information in the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information.

Salaam Alaikum! Welcome to Morocco. When you arrive at Casablanca Airport, you'll be met by a representative and transferred to your hotel. Your adventure begins at 6 pm with a welcome meeting to meet your fellow travellers and group leader. If you arrive early, maybe visit the Villa des Arts – this gorgeous art deco gallery holds numerous exhibitions of contemporary Moroccan and international art. If you’re looking for a different type of cultural experience, then you can discover a unique and fascinating part of Moroccan history at the Museum of Judaism. This evening, celebrate the beginning of a new adventure with a welcome dinner with your group in a traditional restaurant. Nowhere is Morocco’s cultural heritage more evident than in its food, and tonight you’ll have the chance to try classic dishes like tagine, couscous and pastilla.

• Complimentary Arrival Transfer
• Casablanca - Welcome Dinner
• Casablanca - Villa des Arts Gallery & Museum (entrance fee) - Free

If you are going to be late please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place.

This morning you’ll visit one of the most impressive sites in Casablanca – the massive Mosque of Hassan II. Second only in size to the great mosque at Mecca, the huge building sits partly on land and partly over sea and is one of the only religious sites open to non-Muslims. Later, leave Casablanca and drive north along the coast to Rabat – the elegant capital of Morocco and its first imperial city. Start your visit with a walk through the medina and souks, then explore the lovely walled quarter known as the Kasbah des Oudaias, where you’ll enjoy an included mint tea in a café overlooking the ocean and Bou Regreg River. After, continue the walk to visit the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the vast minaret of the Mosque of Hassan II. In the late afternoon, continue to Meknes, the former capital of Morocco.

Your travel time today will be approximately 3.5 hours.

Join your leader and explore the charming streets of Meknes’s medina – the old walled section of the city. There’s something particularly special about exploring this lesser-known medina as the locals go about their daily lives. Walk to the shrine of Moulay Ismail, visit the granaries and stop by a local market selling vegetables, olives and sweets. Drive on to the ruins of Volubilis. Once a provincial Roman capital, a distant outpost of the empire, the remains make an undeniably impressive sight. A local guide will show you around, provide expert knowledge and help you imagine the bustling city that once was. Enjoy a picnic lunch of fresh bread, cheese and seasonal fruits and olives from the market, then continue to Chefchaouen. Nestled high in the Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen is famous for its buildings washed in bright shades of blue – this is undeniably one of the world’s prettiest cities!

Tour its winding alleyways, cobbled plazas and unique doorways and find out what makes the city so alluring. Stop off for a tasting of goat’s cheese – you’ll see there’s no shortage of goats in Chefchaouen and this soft, creamy goat’s cheese is some of Morocco’s best. Enjoy a free afternoon to explore further at your own pace. You may like to snap some more pictures of the city’s blue-hued buildings, shop for handicrafts or simply sit at a cafe and enjoy the pleasure of time passing by. Speak to your leader about the option for a homecooked meal for dinner this evening.

• Chefchaouen - Goat Cheese Tasting
• Chefchaouen - Medina walking tour

Say goodbye to Chefchaouen and make the journey to Fes – the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco. When you arrive, take some time to unwind in a local hammam (spa) – speak to your leader for some great recommendations. This evening you’ll have the unique opportunity to see a different side of Moroccan life as you are warmly welcomed into the home-turned-restaurant of a local family for a pastilla dinner in a private after-hours experience. One of the country’s most celebrated dishes, this sweet and savoury delight is made with layered pastry and meat, cooked with eggs, caramelised onions, lemon and sugared almonds. Learn how the iconic Moroccan pie is made as you chat with your friendly hosts about life in Fes, then end the night with a traditional sweet treat.

• Riad Houyam or similar (1 night)
• Fes - Home-cooked Pastilla Dinner

Today, head into the Old Town, known locally as Fes el Bali. Medieval Fes was one of the world's great centres of education and culture, both Islamic and Jewish. Its religious institutions and libraries are legendary, and its mosques are renowned. Your leader will share stories of the city’s history as you walk through the twisting streets and alleyways, passing donkeys piled high with goods. Filled with historic khans, medresses and dye pits, there are stalls loaded with fruits, herbs and soups and the squawk of chickens, smells of spice and sounds of hammering copper fill the air. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the medina for a traditional mint tea in a family-owned tea house. Spend the day exploring the old city, visiting Al-Attarine Madrasa, the tanneries and the splendid Funduk Nejjarine – a beautifully restored 18th-century inn.

• Fes - Medina walking tour
• Fes - Funduq al-Najjarin
• Fes - Medersa El Attarine
• Fes - Tea Break

Today’s experience will include shopping in carefully selected places. As the receipt of commissions or kickbacks in exchange for recommending shops, services or activities is ingrained in the culture of the Moroccan tourism industry, Intrepid has established a centralised system of receiving and distributing payments from these recommended suppliers. For more information on this please refer to the Important Notes section of Essential Trip Information or talk to your tour leader on the ground.

If you would rather opt out of the shopping experience, you are welcome to have free time, instead. Please note, however, that it may be too difficult to organise a meeting place in the medina to meet back up with your group, but you can easily meet back up with them at the hotel.

Today, leave the intensity of the city behind for the desert oasis town of Erfoud. Prepare for a long driving day and have your camera ready as there will be plenty of stops to appreciate the ever-changing Moroccan landscape along the way. Wind past olive groves, shepherds tending to their flocks, forests of cedar, pine and oak, and valleys filled with date palms – all with views of the High Atlas Mountains in the distance. Arrive in Erfoud, your gateway to the Sahara Desert. Built by the French in the early 1900s, the town features tightly packed red sand buildings that blend seamlessly into the desert surroundings. While here, be sure to try some dates fresh from the local market – the dates in Erfoud are so delicious they celebrate them with a festival every year.

• L'Hotel by Chateau de Sable or similar (1 night)

Your travel time today will be approximately 7 hours.

Spend the morning exploring Khemliya – a village on the fringe of the orange-coloured Erg Chebbi sand dunes. This traditional Saharan village is known for its distinctive style of music and dance. For lunch today you’ll get to see how the local speciality dish of medfouna is made, and then sample some yourself. Then, it’s time to do as the locals do and ride a camel through the desert towards your Feature Stay accommodation – a spectacular camp hidden away in the sand dunes of the Sahara. Here in this magical escape from the modern world, you’ll experience the true essence of desert life. The remote location doesn’t mean skimping on amenities – permanent tents feature large beds, en suite bathrooms and delightful, authentic decor. Tonight, enjoy a traditional feast beneath the North African sky, jewelled with thousands of stars, followed by live Gnaoua music around an open fire.

• Golden Camp (Feature Stay) or similar (1 night)
• Sahara Desert - Camel ride
• Khemliya - Village walking tour
• Khemliya - Medfouna cooking demonstration
• Sahara Desert - Amazigh dinner with Gnaoua music

The camel rides on Days 8 and 9 are a romantic way to see the Sahara, but if you'd prefer, it's possible to be driven to and from the camp. Please let your booking agent know if you would prefer not to do the camel rides.

Start the day with a truly unforgettable experience – a camel ride across the desert during sunrise, watching the landscape turn remarkable shades of orange. After breakfast drive to Todra Gorge – a massive trench that rises over 250 m to form one of the most dramatic and spectacular natural sights in Morocco. The limestone stacks make a perfect area for hiking, and so to make the most of the stunning surroundings, you’ll take a short and gentle walk through the gorge. Then, continue to the beautiful Dades Valley – your base for the next two nights. This area offers up scenery like no other – sprawling green valleys give way to rock formations carved out by the wind. Your accommodation offers a pool and terrace, so take some time to sit back and soak in the views.

• Hotel Xaluca or similar (1 night)
• Todra Gorge - Hike

Your travel time today will be approximately 4.5 hours.

You have a full day to explore the beauty of this largely untouched Moroccan backcountry today, and the best way is on foot. There are a couple of circuits in the area – there’s the option to tackle a 10 km circuit that will take about 4 hours, but your leader can tailor the route based on the preferences of the group. Take a short transfer to the start of the trek, then set out with a local guide. The trail undulates and can be challenging in sections but is accessible to everyone with a basic level of fitness. Stop in a village along the way and enjoy tea with a local Amazigh family. This experience offers a unique glimpse into the Amazigh way of life that few visitors to Morocco have the chance to see. Set against the sensational backdrop of the surrounding mountains and famous Rose Valley, take the opportunity to share stories and learn about family life in the Dades Valley.

• Dades - Tea-making demonstration
• Dades - Hike

Depart the Dades Valley and set off on the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs. Your first stop is Skoura Oasis – home to several privately owned kasbahs, including the Kasbah Ameridhl, with extravagant decorations and mud-brick fortifications. Continue to Ait Benhaddou – a hilltop site almost unchanged since the 11th century. Its grand kasbah is one of the most beautiful in Morocco and the fortified village is a fine example of clay architecture. You may recognise the site from Game of Thrones or its long list of film credits. Walk through the winding streets of the Old Town, making your way to the top of the hill for some scenic views. Visit Taman’Art Space, an art studio and cultural centre created by a local artist. Meet with the artist and founder and talk about his methods, inspiration and process, all while sipping a cup of tea on the terrasse, surrounded by gorgeous views. After, visit Tawesna – a local teahouse on the river – for a tasty lunch including freshly made Amazigh bread, soup, Moroccan sweets and mint tea. This community-run establishment provides women with a small income to support themselves and their children. The women use natural ingredients sourced from local cooperatives to prepare the tea and pastries, taking great pride in sharing their stories and giving visitors an authentic Amazigh experience.

• Skoura - Kasbah and Oasis visit
• Ait Benhaddou - Leader-led ksar walk

Leave Ait Benhaddou after breakfast and drive through the winding roads of the Atlas Mountains. You can take your time as the scenery is magnificent and keen photographers may call for a few photo stops. Your destination today is Ouirgane – sitting in the tranquil foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, this village provides visitors with an alternative and less-visited base for walking. With its gentle winter climate and moderate summer, it’s a great place to stroll around the nearby red-earth hills and pine forests, watch a wide variety of bird life or just sit back and relax at an altitude of 1000 m with a view of Mount Toubkal in the background. Speak to your leader about some hiking options this afternoon with a local guide.

• Ksar Shama or similar (1 night)

Your travel time today will be approximately 6 hours.

Travel to the nearby town of Tahanaout, where you’ll take a hands-on cooking class with a celebrated local chef. You’ll explore his organic kitchen garden surrounded by beautiful olive groves and orchards set in a traditional Amazigh douar. Harvest ingredients fresh from the garden and let the chef teach you the art of seasoning with aromatic Moroccan herbs. Learn to cook tagines and salads, then savour your creations over lunch. After the feast, continue to Marrakech. When you arrive, check in to your beautifully decorated riad. This evening, why not head to the great square of Djemaa el-Fna – one of the largest public spaces in the world, When night falls, it transforms into a hive of activity. You may like to finish your day with a cup of tea at one of the roof-top restaurants overlooking the square.

• Longue Vie Hotel or similar (1 night)
• Tahnaout - Cooking class

Your travel time today will be approximately 1.5 hours.

After breakfast today, meet with a local guide who will bring the magic of Marrakech to life as you set off on a morning tour of the old medina, through the bustling souks that are the lifeblood of the city. Explore tranquil courtyards filled with the scent of orange blossom and the many salons and chambers that make up Bahia Palace. Stop by the Koutoubia Mosque – the inside is for Muslims only, but the famous minaret is a sight to behold. Walk back through the streets of the old medina to Djemaa el-Fna, stopping off to taste some of the marvellous freshly squeezed orange juice from a local stall – this is sure to be one of the most delicious glasses of orange juice you’ve ever tasted! The rest of the day is free to explore. Maybe visit Le Jardin Secret – a traditional medina garden with a magnificent courtyard – or head back into the medina and practice your haggling skills. For your final evening, maybe join your group for a farewell dinner. Your leader will be able to recommend some fantastic local restaurants.

Our tour starts in the Red City. With its dusty rooftops, maze-like streets and bustling souks, Marrakech encompasses the essence of Morocco.

Today we'll dive straight into the heady delights of Marrakech with a guided tour of the city. Marrakech is a destination like no other, offering a vibrant new sight, sound, or scent at every turn. We'll pass by the rose-coloured Koutoubia (booksellers) Mosque on the way to Bahia Palace, famous for its decorated stucco walls and marble floors.

We'll fuel up on fresh pastries from a traditional bakery before continuing to the medina on foot. There, we'll be guided through the labyrinth of spice-scented souks, passing by craftsmen selling rugs, leather goods and crockery, before dropping by a spice shop to sample ripe dates and almonds. Finally, we'll navigate our way out and into the energetic Jemaa el-Fna Square.

This afternoon you're free to explore more at your own pace - amongst the array of must-see sites are Ben Youssef Madrasa, the Dar Si Said Palace, and the Menara Gardens, tick them off your list or delve back into the maze-like souks. In the evening, there'll be the option to visit a traditional hammam.

Meals Provided: Breakfast

Today starts with a drive to Casablanca followed by a visit to Casablanca's Hassan II Mosque, the seventh largest mosque in the world and the largest on the continent of Africa. Built in honour of the King's 60th birthday, this spectacular mosque is a feat of engineering and can hold an astounding 105,000 worshippers. Sitting right next to the water - to honour the Quran, which states "the throne of Allah was over the water" - it's a meeting spot for locals to socialise and, of course, worship. Once we've marvelled at the marble exterior, we'll head inside for a tour.

Departing Casablanca, we'll head down the coast to Morocco's capital, Rabat. Established at the country's capital in 1912, by the French, Rabat has a distinct history, which dates as far back as 8BC, when settlers arrived in what is now the Chellah district. This evening, you'll have free time to explore the city or walk down to the waterfront where you can watch the sunset over the estuary.

Hotel Le Musee (or similar)

After breakfast, we'll begin our day with a guided tour around the capital. Starting in the historic centre, we'll stroll towards the Hassan Tower and spend time inside the marble interiors of the Mausoleum of Mohammed V. Next, we'll wander the cobbled streets of Kasbah des Oudaias, the fortified area of the city, distinctly infused with Andalucian flavour.

Tour finished, we'll break for lunch before journeying on to Chefchaouen. It's a long drive and will take most of the afternoon, arriving into the famous 'blue town' around early evening.

Hotel Parador (or similar)

Today we'll delve into the treasures of Morocco's 'blue town', nestled into the Rif Mountains. With its stacked white and blue houses and narrow, winding lanes, Chefchaouen is a prime example of Andalusia's influence over Morocco. After a busy few days in the imperial cities, it offers a welcome slower pace and relaxed atmosphere.

From the cobbled medina and the Plaza Uta El Hammam to the red walls of the kasbah and the Grand Mosque, we'll wander through Chefchaouen's highlights before having a free afternoon to explore at your own pace.

Crossing the Rif Mountains, this morning we'll make our way to the ancient ruins of Volubilis. Morocco's best-preserved Roman site, Volubilis was once the capital of the province of Mauritania Tingitana and home to 20,000 people. We'll take the chance to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site before continuing on to Meknes.

Once the heart of the Moroccan Sultanate, Meknes was built by the tyrant, Moulay Ismail and in its heyday was teeming with opulent palaces and grand gateways. Today, much of Meknes has crumbled, though its regal essence remains. We'll get a flavour for it with a visit to the old granary of Heri es-Souni and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, before departing for Fes, our base for the next two nights.

Hotel El Batha (or similar)

Today, we'll wake up in the oldest of Morocco's imperial cities, Fes. In its golden age, Fes was a hub of art, philosophy and trade and is still referred to as Morocco's artisan capital. We'll begin in Fes el Jadid - known as 'new Fes' despite dating back to the 13the century. The highlight of this morning is the Royal Palace where we'll stop to marvel at the intricate golden doors (the palace isn't open to visitors but is still a Morocco must-see for its majestic exterior alone). Once we've explored Fes el Jadid, we'll head out and up to the viewpoint at Borj Nord for a look at the sprawling city from above.

After lunch, we'll delve into Fes el-Bali, the oldest quarter of the city, with a guided tour. We'll meander through the medina and souks - where you'll see weavers, coppersmiths and tanners at work and be tempted by the smell of Harira soup and Berber pancakes. We'll also drop by the al-Attarin Madrasa, one of the most beautiful medieval colleges in Morocco.

Today we'll spend the full day on the road to Erfoud. As we wind our way up the Middle Atlas, we'll pass by the small mountain village of Azrou, which translates from Berber as 'the rock'.

Up here in their mountain stronghold, the fiercely independent Berbers - the Lords of the Atlas - live by their own traditions. The Berber way of life is unique and lost to most of North Africa and music, dance, language, and religion are far removed from the rest of the Arab world.

We'll continue into Berber sheep raising country and head towards Timadite and over the Col du Zad, before crossing the Tizi Talghemt Camel Pass and continuing via the Gorge du Ziz to Er Rachidia. Finally, we traverse a broad plateau past Meski Oasis, the so called 'Blue Spring' that borders the arid desert plains. Our last stop for today will be the desert settlement of Erfoud.

Hotel Jnane La Kasbah (or similar)

Our day starts by following the meandering Ziz River towards Rissani where you'll notice the landscape begin to change as we edge closer to the dramatic dunes of the Sand Sea. The holy city of Rissani is the homeland of the Alaouite dynasty, who reigned in the region for 300 years. This morning, we'll take the opportunity to visit the founder's mausoleum before we explore the local ksour (fortified villages).

In the afternoon, we'll continue to Merzouga, a small village on the outskirts of the desert. From here, we'll swap bus for camels and journey on into the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Our home for tonight is right here in the desert, at a Berber camp, where we can relax by the campfire and fill up on traditional tagine.

Our camp is basic but comfortable - the twin share tents are fully equipped with full size single beds with mattresses, blankets, and pillows and there are charging points for phones and cameras. The camp site is right on the edge of the magnificent sand dunes, after a refreshing glass of mint tea you may wish to take a stroll amongst the dunes to witness the sun setting over the Sahara desert, the light at this time in the late evening casts shadows over the dunes making them a photographers dream. Dinner is served under the stars after which we retire to a campfire. Note that the camp has shared bathroom facilities, showers are simple and hot water and good water pressure aren't guaranteed.

Nomad Camp - Chebbi Dunes (or similar)

Grade: Comfortable Camping

Meals Provided: Breakfast & Dinner

This morning, we'll wake up before dawn to watch the sun rise over the Sahara from the top of the sand dunes. After breakfast, we'll depart the desert by camel, a true Moroccan experience.

Our route today takes us along the southern slopes of the Atlas to Tinerhir. We'll have time to explore the area and wander the lush grounds that line the banks of the river, an oasis of date palms, olive groves and fruit orchards. Finally, we'll continue on to our hotel in the upper Todra Valley, where we'll spend two nights.

Hotel Kenzi Saghro (or similar)

Today we have an optional walk to Todra Gorge's Abdelali viewpoint. The ochre cliffs of the gorge tower above the narrow pass where the track and river struggle for right of way and Berber women drive their goats up to higher land.

We'll follow the main road of the gorge before joining a small mule path, gradually working our way up the ravine to the viewpoint, where we're treated to vistas of the Jebel Sahro range and down into the gorge.

Today's trek has been graded as moderate and covers six kilometres. It has an ascent of around 500 metres and a descent of around 550 metres, walking on terrain that is narrow, steep, and rocky in some sections. We recommend wearing walking boots with ankle support.

If you don't feel like taking on the trek, you're free to explore the gorge valley floor or take in the scenery from one of the nearby cafes.

The dramatic ochre-coloured cliffs of the Todra Gorge rise to leave a narrow pass through which our track and the river struggle for right of way. In the mornings, Berber women drive their goats through the narrow gorge to grazing ground higher up.

Today there'll be the opportunity to join our tour leader on an optional walk to Abdelali viewpoint, from where there are excellent panoramas across to the Jebel Sahro and down into the gorge. There are two hiking options, a circular walk which is 10km in length and a hike to a viewpoint at Abdelali and back which is 6km.

We usually undertake the 10km hike, however the route is exposed to the elements, so depending on the weather, we might opt for the shorter option. The trek begins in the middle of the narrow gorge following the main road before joining a small mule path going up gradually along a ravine. The path climbs about 500m to a small pass with views looking down the gorge and the Jebel Sahro range. The descent is 550m and is again on a rocky, narrow path that can be steep in some sections. The trek is considered as moderate-to-challenging and in high temperatures it can be more demanding. Walking boots with ankle support are essential.

If you don't fancy the hike, you might like to explore the gorge valley floor, following the path of the river, or take in the scenery from one of the nearby cafes.

This morning, we head west to make a short stop in El Kelaa des M'Gouna. Famous for its roses, the town is blanketed by a landscape of scented blooms each spring, which are harvested in the May during the Festival of Roses. The blossoms are used to make rosewater, which is sold throughout the Islamic world.

Driving on through the Dades Valley, we enter the Valley of 1000 Kasbahs, an oasis land teeming with kasbahs and towns that each have their own distinct character. You'll notice the mud and straw structures become more ornate as we travel further along the valley.

This afternoon, we'll visit the fortified Berber settlement of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site widely considered to be one of Morocco's most picturesque spots. You might recognize the ornate crenelated towers from scenes in Jesus of Nazareth and Lawrence of Arabia, which both took advantage of the dramatic setting.

Hotel Les Jardins de Ouarzazate (or similar)

Today, we head back into the desert and drive through the Draa Valley, an oasis lined with Berber villages and ruined kasbahs and backed by lush green plains and the snow-capped mountains beyond. We'll stop at a pottery cooperative in Tamgroute, a historical town known for its 15th-century library that houses books over 700-years old. After a visit to the library, we'll journey on to Mhamid and swap our bus for 4WD jeeps to continue off road and into the sand dunes of the Sahara.

After getting settled into our camp in Erg Chegaga, our tour leader will take us on a walk up the dunes for a vista of the surrounding desert, telling us a bit about the flora and fauna found amongst the sands. Our home tonight is a traditional nomad camp with tents that sleep 3-5 people each, bedding is provided. The camp has a restaurant tent where we can eat a dinner and breakfast prepared by the crew.

Nomad Camp (or similar)

Grade: Simple Camping

Single Room Unavailable

Today, we'll leave the camp after breakfast and take 4WDs to the oasis town of Foum Zguid. The drive is 90km and will take between three and four hours. As we're driving through desert tracks, the road will be bumpy, but we'll be rewarded with the surreal experience of driving across desert plains without a human or animal in sight.

At Foum Zguid, we'll board our bus and start our journey to Tata. Along the way, we'll stop at Tissinnt, where we'll take in the waterfalls and meet the local nomads of the area. On arrival in Tata, our destination for tonight, we'll have time to soak in the town's pink facades and laidback charm.

Le Relais des Sables (or similar)

This morning, we'll drive through the Anti-Atlas, a wild landscape of barren desert and rocky outcrops. We'll pass by small villages and stretch our legs with a walk through the Taghjijt Valley, an oasis of palms, and buy dates to snack on from a local farmer before we stop at the gateway of the Sahara, Goulemin. We'll have lunch in the small town and stretch our legs with a walk through the Taghjijt Valley, an oasis of palms, and buy dates to snack on from a local farmer.

As we continue our journey, the landscapes become greener and lusher - a sure sign that the Atlantic Ocean is almost in sight. Tonight, we'll settle into the small town of Mirleft, just off the coast, where we'll have free time to explore the beach, a ten-minute walk from our hotel, or relax by the pool before dinner.

Aftass Trip (or similar)

Today we'll drive north through the Sous Valley, passing through forests and plantations to the Sous-Massa National Park, a reserve set on the Sous-Massa River and the Atlantic Ocean. The park is home to several traditional Berber villages, but the real attraction is the vibrant bird life - keep your eyes peeled to spot the Bald Ibis that call the park home.

Afterwards, we'll continue to Taroudant, the former capital of the south of Morocco, where our tour leader will give us a short orientation. With its golden rampart, this Amazigh town is one of the most beautiful in Morocco's south. Take a while to stroll in the shade of the towers and delve into the souk, where you'll be tempted by stalls selling cooked meats and flatbreads that fill the air with a smoky aroma - the perfect way to finish a long day.

Riad Hida (or similar)

Grade: Comfortable Riad

This morning, we'll set off on the four-hour drive to the historic port town of Essaouira, where we'll spend the next two nights. Arriving in time to have lunch, we'll head to a traditional Moroccan restaurant or down to the port to taste the fresh seafood cooked over charcoal by the local sellers.

Our tour leader will take us on a walking tour to help us get our bearings, dipping into the ancient walls of the town and into the market. We'll be staying in a traditional riad - a Moroccan house built around a central courtyard. Riads are popular and can get booked up quickly so at times we might stay in an alternative accommodation to the one listed, we'll always ensure the quality is the same standard.

Riad Al Madina (or similar)

Today is free to spend as you wish in the charming port town of Essaouira. A day is just enough time to settle into the relaxed but lively way of life here. Head into the old walled medina into the maze of streets lined with craftsmen selling souvenirs from handmade leather belts to jewellery to wooden boxes inlaid with mother of pearl. Outside of the medina, you can take in the Mellah (the old Jewish Quarter) before sinking your feet into the golden sands of the beach and watching as the fishermen return to shore with their day's catch.

After breakfast, we'll say goodbye to the coast and head inland back to Marrakech. We'll arrive around lunch time and the afternoon will be free to spend as you wish. In the evening, we'll have a final group meal and toast to the end of our Moroccan adventure.

Again, to make the most of our final night in the Red City, we'll stay in a traditional riad. If our usual accommodation is fully booked, we'll ensure the alternative is up to standard.

Riad Nesma (or similar)

Grade: Premium Riad

Our tour of Morocco ends at our hotel in Marrakech.

There are no activities planned today, so you're free to depart at any time. If your flight is departing later in the day, luggage storage facilities are available at our hotel. If you'd like an airport transfer, you need to depart from Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK).

Is this the tour for you?

• We'll cover a lot of ground to see all of Morocco's highlights, so expect daily bus journeys and some long driving times.
• Morocco has a diverse climate and can get very hot in the summer and quite cold in the winter, it's a good idea to check before you travel that you're packing appropriately.
• Street selling and bartering are common in Morocco, but most locals are friendly and will give you a warm welcome.
• We've graded the accommodation for this trip as comfortable but it's worth noting that standards might differ from home.
• Morocco is an Islamic country and so most locals observe Ramadan. During this time, there might be slight changes to our itinerary. For more details about travelling during Ramadan visit

Trip information

The climate is both Mediterranean and Atlantic. The dry, hot season is from May to October when summer temperatures can reach 38°C and above (if sight seeing is included we will do our best to avoid the heat of the day during this period). Temperatures may drop significantly at times during the night as the day's heat rapidly diminishes. From December to January snow can be expected on mountain passes and it can be wet. In winter, day temperatures will probably be around 18-25°C, dropping to perhaps 0-5°C.

Optional activities The following excursions and/or activities are usually available and may be arranged locally. Estimated costs are provided below for guidance only, are on a per person basis unless shown otherwise, and may depend on the number of participants. Prices quoted are correct as of the date these tour notes were originally issued but may change at any time due to currency fluctuations. Please note: These activities are booked and paid for locally and do not form part of your Explore holiday contract.

Summer: Clothing should be lightweight. However, a warm sweater is also advisable, as the desert can sometimes get cold at nights, even in the summer. Winter: Usually warm during the day but thicker clothing is essential for cold nights (Nov-Mar). It is advisable to take warm clothing (eg. track suit or thermal underwear) to sleep in, as the quality of heating in Moroccan hotel rooms can be variable. A waterproof jacket, trousers and fleece are recommended in the winter months. Morocco is a Muslim country and it is important to dress with respect for local customs. People may be offended by shorts or revealing dresses, which can attract unwelcome attention. We advise that in general both men and women should cover shoulders, upper arms and knees. Transparent, plunging necklines and tightfitting clothes should be avoided. Women should also cover their heads when entering a sanctuary, though in general, mosques are forbidden to non-Muslims. For those clients on a cycling holiday please bear this information in mind for times that you are not on the bikes. While cycling it is no problem for both men and women to wear your regular cycling gear, tight fitting or not.

We recommend sandals and walking boots with good ankle support if planning to do the Abdelali walk in the Todra Gorge.

Luggage: On tour

One main piece of baggage and daypack. Remember you are expected to carry your own luggage so don't overload yourself.

A head torch, water bottle, sunhat and high factor sunscreen are all essential, whilst we recommend swimming costumes and towels.

Food and drink The costs for meals may vary depending upon location, type of restaurant and number of courses eaten and so the prices given are an average guide. Local restaurants located off the beaten track may be less expensive, whereas an upmarket restaurant located in the centre of a major city may charge more.

Foreign exchange, transport information, accommodation notes.

Few destinations give you as warm a welcome as Morocco and our accommodation has been chosen to reflect that. We choose our accommodation based on location, quality, and traditional style to give you a real taste of life in the country. It's worth bearing in mind that Morocco is a developing country and standards might not always be equivalent to those at home. Some properties might be simply furnished, access to hot water may be sparse in certain stays and the level of service might vary from place to place. Older buildings can get cold in the winter months and don't have heating facilities, so you might want to pack an extra jumper - hotels will provide extra blankets. During this trip, we'll spend two nights camping in the desert. The tents are very spacious, with amble space to walk around, each tent has full size twin share beds, blankets, towels, and pillows are all provided. There is a USB port to charge mobile phones and a light. The camp has a communal bathroom set behind the camp with WC's. Dinner and breakfast are prepared by the camp crew and survived outside (there is an indoor area if the weather is poor). There is a tent where mint tea is served with a backdrop of the dunes behind. During the winter months, it can get cold in the desert so warm clothing is a must.

Food and drink

Can you drink the water?  The water quality is poor and therefore it is recommended to avoid drinking tap water during your trip.
