Experience Overview

Morocco might make you think of big, busy markets and even bigger deserts, but there’s so much more to this exciting country in north-western Africa than first meets the eye.

Highlights

  • Limber up with a relaxing yoga lesson on the south coast before using the same balancing manoeuvres on a surfboard in Taghazout – one of the best local spots for surfing.
  • Experience Djemaa el-Fna Square as the sun descends and see one of the largest public spaces in the world come to life. Watch street performers, listen to local storytellers and maybe even get a henna tattoo.
  • Get to know Essaouira, named ‘little picture’ for a reason – and rub shoulders with the locals as you traverse the picturesque, whitewashed walls with a local guide who knows all the go-to spots.
  • Indulge your senses with a street food experience in Essaouira, sampling harira (soup), mesman (flat bread), sweets and local olive oil and honey.
  • Whether it’s surfing, swimming or just lazing on the sand with a good book – exploring the local beaches in Morocco’s fishing villages is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.

Itinerary

Day 1: Marrakech
Salaam Alaikum! Welcome to Morocco. This adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 4 pm. After your meeting, you may want to head to the famous Djemaa el-Fna. This square is known as one of the largest public spaces in the world – it’s truly an unmissable part of the city. As soon as the sun sets, the square comes to life with henna painters, performers and storytellers sharing the space with street food stands. The smells of the stalls will lure you in, and the tastes will keep you coming back for more. There are all sorts of excellent pastries, fresh juices, teas and even bowls of snail soup to go round, if you’re feeling a little adventurous! As evening falls, you might want to grab dinner or explore the bustling nightlife of the city with your new travel buddies. Marrakech has some great rooftop bars – so find one with a view and order your favourite cocktail.

Accommodation:

  • Hotel (Number of Nights: 1)

Day 2: Taghazout
After breakfast this morning, travel to Taghazout. This cool, laidback fishing village has quickly gained a solid reputation as one of the country’s best surfing spots. The waters stay warm all year round, and the surf is top-notch for both rookies and adept wave riders (so there’s no excuse not to catch some rolling waves). After getting your fill of the beautiful local beaches, maybe ask your leader for the best spots for a seafood dinner, before spending the night at a local surf camp.

Accommodation:

  • Surf Camp (Number of Nights: 1)

Day 3: Taghazout
Kick off your adventures in the sleepy town of Taghazout with an early morning yoga session, to help you relieve any tension before diving into the water once again. Oddly enough, the skills required for surfing and yoga tend to complement each other, through concentration, flexibility and balance. Good news, if you were planning on hitting the waves again today! Don’t know how to ride a board or didn’t get the chance yesterday? No stress – today includes a half-day surfing course to teach you the basics, and if you already know the ropes, there’s always time to refine your skills in unfamiliar territory.

Included Activities:

  • Taghazout – Surfing Class
  • Taghazout – One Hour Yoga Class

Accommodation:

  • Surf Camp (Number of Nights: 1)

Day 4: Essaouira
Get up early today if you want to catch the sunrise, then travel to the old fishing town of Essaouira. Along the way, stop by a female-led cooperative specialising in Argan production. Learn about how these women extract the Argan from the trees, watch the beans being roasted and pressed, then taste the Argan oil and paste, all made right here! Arrive at your destination – a place where the medina brushes up against the Atlantic Ocean. The name of the town translates to ‘little picture’ – so get your camera ready! It’s safe to say you’ll be taking lots of snaps during your time in this picturesque place. Join a local guide for a walking tour through the old medina, Jewish mullah, port and by the skala (sea wall). Then head out to taste some street food, you'll get to try harira (soup), mesman (flatbread), Moroccan sweets and sample olive oil and honey.

Included Activities:

  • Essaouira – Walking Tour with a Local Guide
  • Essaouira - Argan Oil Cooperative Visit
  • Essaouira – Street Food Tasting

Accommodation:

  • Hotel (Number of Nights: 1)

BOOK IT. I went as a female traveller, without knowing anyone, and had the most incredible, safe, fun time. Made friends from all over the world in my group and had a fantastic experience with the world's most considerate, generous, and knowledgable tour guide. I was nervous to book it but I would book any trip with this company again, without a single moment of hesitation. Excellently done.
