Why you'll love this trip
-
Uncover one of the most remote parts of the Roman Empire and the most impressive Roman ruins in Morocco at the World Heritage-listed Volubilis.
-
Navigating the narrow alleys and ramshackle stalls of Fes’ medina is a breeze with a group size of no larger than 12.
-
Stay in a mixture of elegant hotels and unique local lodgings – from an elegant, traditional riad in Fes to a desert camp.
-
Enjoy a Lawrence of Arabia moment while you ride a camel across the desert, with the beautiful sunrise over the dunes of Sahara as your backdrop.
-
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 rides on Days 6 and 7 are 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 8 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.
-
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 standards you're accustomed to at home.
-
In 2021, Ramadan will take place from 12 April to 11 May. Travelling 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 leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider your travel arrangements carefully before booking travel for this period.

Special Information
Today’s experience will include shopping in carefully selected places. As the receipt of commissions or kickbacks in exchange for recommending shops, services or activities is ingrained in the culture of the Moroccan tourism industry, Peregrine has established a centralised system of receiving and distributing payments from these recommended suppliers. For more information on this please refer to the Important Notes section of Essential Trip Information or talk to your tour leader on the ground.If you are not interested in shopping experience, you need to advise your tour leader about it beforehand. It is possible for you to have a free time during the tour; however, it will be impossible to set a meeting point inside the medina due to the fact it is so complicated to navigate. If you decide to leave the group, you will only be able to meet back with them in your hotel in Fes.
