Highlights

  • What does a modular trip mean?A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.
  • What's tipping culture like in Morocco?Tipping’s a big deal in Morocco - it's part of the culture and helps support locals (especially those working in tourism). During your trip, you’ll be expected to tip people like hotel staff, local guides, porters, and restaurant crews. To keep it simple (and avoid the awkward maths), your Trip Manager will organise a tipping kitty. On Day 1, they’ll collect $30 USD (or local equivalent in MAD), to cover group service tips along the way. Heads-up: this doesn’t include a tip for your Trip Manager.

Day 1MarrakeshMarrakesh

Our Moroccan exploration begins right here in its buzzing capital! We’ll pick you up at the airport and head straight to our hotel, where you’ll meet your new crew. You have the chance to get energised with a delicious lunch before we wander around for a tour of the city’s mosques, madrassas, squares and souks. Then, it’s back to our hotel for dinner.

Meals: Dinner

Stay: Hotel El Andalous (or similar), Marrakesh

Day 2Marrakesh to TaroudantMarrakesh · Taroudant · Tiout Oasis

Goood morning! After breakfast, we’ll hit the road to our next stop – passing by changing landscapes of plains, argan tree forests and rolling hills. We'll roll into Taroudant and waste no time heading out for lunch. Join the crew or do your own thing and tap into the local food scene. Don’t stress if it feels brief — we’ll be back later to explore properly. Welcome to paradise! Today we’ll explore this peaceful oasis at the foot of the Anti-Atlas Mountains. Expect lush palm groves, trickling water, local Berber life, and a historic kasbah overlooking the valley. Back in Taroudant, you're free to wander the medina, browse the souks for silver jewellery, leather goods, and spices. Don't forget to stroll along the city’s impressive walls and ornate gates like Bab El Kasbah and Bab Targhount. We'll round things out at Assarag Square, soaking up the lively local rhythm before settling in for the night.

Meals: Breakfast

Stay: Hotel Almounia (or similar), Taroudant

Day 3Taroudant to EssaouiraTaroudant · Essaouira

This morning, we’ll drive along the Anti-Atlas mountains as we say goodbye to Taroudant. You’ve got the Atlantic ocean on one side and historic Berber towns on the other. Soak in all the views while you can. Welcome to Morocco's hidden coastal gem! Souks, cafes, terraces, fishing villages - there’s plenty to see here. End the night chilling by the beach (drink in hand - possibly local mint tea!) that’s across the road from our hotel.

Meals: Breakfast

Stay: Hotel Miramar (or similar), Essaouira

Day 4Essaouira to Agafay DesertEssaouira · Agafay Desert

It’s a DIY morning today, with plenty of time to explore the town at your pace. In the afternoon, we’ll make our way to a tranquil hidden gem in the wilderness of Morocco. The endless dusky red panorama in front of you isn’t your typical desert. It’s all rock! After we check into our luxurious tents, you’ll have the chance to cool off with a dip in the pool. Or even better - take a camel ride through the desert.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Stay: Agafay Pearl (or similar), Agafay Desert

Day 5Agafay Desert to MarrakeshAgafay Desert · Marrakesh

Noooo, it’s the last day already! Worry not, there’s one more included meal to feast on before we head back to the city where it all began. All good things come to an end. But there are plenty more good things on the horizon. (Like another epic adventure? Somewhere in Asia next time?). So bid your farewells, exchange your deets and hop on for an airport transfer!
