Explore Morocco on a small-group adventure from Marrakech with guided hikes, a desert camp and camel ride near Zagora, and visits to Aït Ben Haddou and Berber communities in the High Atlas.
  • Visit Tiznit’s silver market and walled medina.
  • Discover Icht’s underground village with a local guide.
  • Ride camels through Zagora’s dunes after desert sunrise.
  • Visit Tamegroute’s ancient library and traditional pottery workshop.
  • Explore Aït Ben Haddou’s UNESCO-listed ksar at sunset.
  • Hike beneath Demnate’s Imi n’fri natural rock bridge.
  • Walk Aït Bouguemez Valley’s villages and visit a collective granary.
  • Visit Zarbiat Achbarou Cooperative’s tree nursery and community project.
On this trip you can expect to stay in local hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. Where a town has both an ancient medina and a "ville nouvelle" we generally stay in the ville nouvelle, both because the standard of hotels is higher, and because travellers (especially women) often find the medinas at night a little confronting.



Please note that Morocco is a developing country and as such the infrastructure is not as reliable as you would expect at home. Expect quirky plumbing and the odd cold shower!
