A fabled land of myths and legends where a surprise lingers around every corner — ancient medinas, Moorish palaces, spice-scented courtyards and the silence of the Sahara.
Fez, Marrakech, Meknes and Rabat — each a former capital, each with its own walled medina, palaces, mosques and souks.
Camel trek into 150m dunes, sleep in a Berber camp, wake to a desert sunrise — one of travel’s great clichés because it’s so good.
From Marrakech, you can be in 4,000m mountains in two hours. Berber villages, kasbahs, deep gorges — and serious trekking for the keen.
The Rif mountain town painted entirely in shades of blue — for reasons no one quite agrees on. Photogenic almost to a fault.
Slow-cooked lamb mechoui, pastilla pies, fresh bread baked in communal ovens, mint tea poured from height. A cuisine of patience.
Easy connection to Casablanca, French and English widely spoken, well-developed tourism infrastructure.
Mild days, cool nights, gardens in full bloom. The cities are comfortable to walk all day, the desert is bearable, the mountains are perfect.
Cool — even cold in the High Atlas. Great for the south and the cities; ski season in Oukaïmeden if you fancy it.
Marrakech and the desert become genuinely too hot. The coast (Essaouira) stays cooler. We schedule no group tours in midsummer.
Djemaa el-Fna at sunset, the spice souks, riads behind unmarked doors.
World’s largest car-free urban area. 9,000 alleys, tanneries, the Karaouine mosque.
Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga — camel trek and Berber camp under the stars.
Trek to Toubkal (4,167m) or stay in a Berber kasbah at Ait Benhaddou.
The blue city in the Rif. Photogenic, peaceful, easy day trip from Tangier.
Atlantic coast city — wind, sea, Gnawa music, fresh-grilled sardines.
Roman city ruins in the Middle Atlas — mosaics still intact after 1,800 years.
Slow-cooked stews of lamb, chicken, fish, vegetables — the conical pot is everywhere.
Our 12-day group tour: Casablanca, Fez, the Atlas, the Sahara, Marrakech. Max 12 guests, fixed October departure.
Custom photography-led trips — early mornings in Marrakech, blue hour in Chefchaouen, sunrise on the dunes.
Romantic riads, family-friendly itineraries, or pure desert immersion — built around your dates and pace.
And no cars — none. Donkeys still do the deliveries. It’s the world’s largest car-free urban area, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In 1777 — before any European power. The diplomatic friendship treaty signed in 1786 is the longest unbroken treaty in US history.
Refusing the first three glasses your host pours is impolite. Locals call it ‘Berber whisky’ — and the pouring height matters.
Our scheduled tour is the easiest way in. Custom honeymoons, family trips, and photographic expeditions are our bespoke specialities.
