Tour Overview
Few places on earth match the cultural diversity of Morocco. Join this Premium Adventure to discover the best of it, while staying in a carefully selected accommodation portfolio, which includes traditional riads, an award-winning lodge and a luxury desert camp. We tour diverse cities, including seaside Casablanca, the imperial powerhouse of Fez, and electric Marrakech. And we journey into the Sahara, where we navigate dunes on camelback and stargaze around a campfire. Village visits, kasbah tours, lunch with an Amazigh family and a relaxing hammam session complete a perfectly balanced adventure that captures the best of Morocco in style.

Food
There are 11 breakfasts, three lunches and seven dinners (one of which is a cooking class) included on this trip.
There’s a welcome dinner at our riad in Fez, and home-cooked lunches when we stay in the Sahara and the High Atlas. We also have an included dinner at our lodge in Skoura to sample their homegrown produce. In Marrakech, try creating local delicacies in a master cooking class and then enjoy the results.
Moroccan food is, generally speaking, excellent though not particularly varied. Breakfasts usually consist of bread and jam with coffee or tea. Meals eaten out are reasonably priced – kebab and bread is approximately 72 Moroccan dirhams (US$7). In main towns, it is possible to find very good French and Moroccan restaurants where a meal and French wine will cost anything from 310 dirhams (US$30) upwards. Generally, dinner is likely to cost 80-155 dirhams (approximately US$8-US$15) not including drinks. Local beer, wine and soft drinks are reasonably priced, but you can pay more for imported alcohol. Your leader will recommend restaurants for each evening.
Vegetarians can be catered for but there is a fairly limited choice of vegetarian cous cous, tajine or omelettes, particularly during the more rural sections of the trip. If you have any special dietary requirements inform your sales representative in plenty of time before the trip. If you have a specific medical/dietary need (ie coeliac or vegan) you may find it helpful to bring some food items with you from home.
Accommodation
The accommodations are all handpicked and some are unique places to stay on this Premium Adventure. We spend four nights in traditional riads, three nights in kasbah-style hotels, three nights in 4-5 star hotels and one night in a luxury desert camp.
Feature nights on this trip are as follows.
Fez: Riad El Yacout (nights 2 & 3)
Originally the home of a wealthy merchant this riad was lovingly restored by Fassi craftspeople and reveals Arab-Andalusian architecture with decorative columns.
Merzouga: Riad Madu or Riad Chebbi (night 4)
Riad Madu
This is a Kasbah-style stay in the Sahara. The word madu mainly means respect, which embodies the philosophy of this family-run hotel
Riad Chebbi
Kasbah-style stay in the Sahara with rooftop terrace overlooking the desert.
Sahara Camp (night 5)
Jannat Luxury Camp
Jannat Luxury Camp is located in the middle of the quiet sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. A small experienced crew work on making your stay memorable. The chef creates tasty Moroccan specialities and after dinner you can enjoy the star filled skies.

About riads
Riads are traditional Moroccan homes, generally in the old part of the city or medina, where the wealthiest people would historically live. They’re typically built around a central corridor with windows facing an internal courtyard (external windows are rare). Most have a rooftop terrace where breakfast is served. A night in a riad is an authentic Moroccan experience; however, riads do not have hotel-style facilities. Additionally, the rooms are not standardised and come in different sizes and shapes. Riads are built to keep sunlight to a minimum in order to keep the interiors cool in the extreme summer heat. In winter they become a cosy haven.
