Morocco
Marrakech, with its maze-like souks, vibrant flavors, and iconic architecture, sets the stage for an energizing journey filled with discovery and connection. Our itinerary blends cultural immersion with outdoor adventure, from exploring the city through a lively treasure hunt and savoring its rich culinary traditions to venturing into the Atlas Mountains for a thrilling 4x4 excursion, ziplining, and sharing tea with a welcoming Berber family. The adventure continues across the Agafay Desert with quad biking and camel rides before shifting to the breezy coastal charm of Essaouira, where you’ll wander its historic medina and ride the waves with surf lessons.
