Experience traditional Berber food and hospitality during an exclusive stay with a local family in the High Atlas Mountains, surrounded by rolling hills and crowning peaks.
Is this trip right for you?
-
One of the highlights of this trip is wandering around the Fes medina on day 4. You will be on your feet for at least 5—6 hours, but the sights, smells and sounds make are well worth any weariness at the end of the day.
-
The camel ride on day 7 is a romantic way to see the Sahara, but if you'd prefer, it's possible to walk alongside the caravan on the sand for about an hour.
-
The remote areas of M’Goun Valley and Todra Gorge that this tour visits on day 9 are best discovered on foot, which is why the itinerary includes a trek. You'll need a moderate level of fitness and appropriate footwear and clothing to enjoy it. If trekking isn’t really your thing, you can speak with your leader about activities on offer in the valley.
-
The weather in Morocco can be extreme. Summer temperatures can be uncomfortably hot, especially for those who aren't accustomed to the heat, so please consider carefully what time of year you travel.
-
In 2020, Ramadan will take place from 23 April to 22 May. Travelling in Morocco during this holy month can be a rewarding cultural experience. However, some regular services may not be available during the daytime, such as restaurants or coffee bars, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your local leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider your travel arrangements carefully before booking travel for this period.
-
Travelling with Peregrine is all about embracing local customs, so please be aware that as Morocco has a tipping culture and travellers are expected to tip small amounts for most services. Your trip leader and the Money Matters section of the Essential Trip Information will provide you with suggestions as to what amounts are appropriate.
-
Although you shouldn’t expect any aggressive selling techniques in Morocco you may be approached by shop owners and street vendors offering their goods to you on regular occasions.
-
We've sourced our accommodation very carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Peregrine style of travel, but keep in mind the service and accommodation in Morocco may differ to western standards.
