A trip to Morocco can feel like a step back in time. From the bustling medina of Marrakech to the traditional Riads in Fes, Morocco is known for its timeless and unique heritage and style. Life in Morocco is very much a mix of cultures–as a coastal country in North Africa, Morocco welcomes a mix of Arabic, French, Spanish, and Indigenous Berber influences. A visit to this lively and vibrant destination will most definitely open your eyes to a new world of enchantment and wonder. On this adventure you’ll be spoilt with all the traditional Moroccan experiences, but we’re going not one step further. Most trips just go to Marrakesh and call it a day. On this luxury tour for women-only, we’re starting in Casablanca and then head to Rabat, Tangiers, Fes and Chefchaouen. We have an extension to magnificent Marrakesh if you want the perfect ending to your adventure. October is one of the best times to visit Morocco, with temperatures ranging from 66 °F (19 °C) to 75 °F (24°C). On our women-only trip, we’ve set up meet-and-greet experiences with locals putting an emphasis on the women of Morocco which will enable us to learn a bit more in-depth about the Moroccan lifestyle. Of course, we’ll be headed to the markets where the shopping is incredible, you’ll experience a traditional hammam ritual and we’ll have a cooking class in a Riad. Mosques and Palaces will fill your days, ubiquitous mint tea will relax you, and on our last night we’ll be throwing a party like you’ve never seen or experienced. You’ll be dressed in stunning silk traditional dress and music; dancing and feasting will ensue. This experience is way beyond the Morocco of your dreams. You’ll see the real Morocco and soak in the ambiance of this exotic other-worldly place which will surely live in your dreams forever.

The trip officially starts on October 15th but if you are traveling across an ocean to get to Morocco, you may want to consider arriving a day early so you have time to relax and get acclimated to the local time zone. If you do decide to arrive early, please let us know and we will take care of booking your room for you and make sure that you are kept in the same room as you will be in when the trip starts.
We will have a zoom call about 6 weeks before the trip starts to discuss all that information and give you a packing list. Here is a great website that we love that will help you with packing and travel trips.
The weather in October is beautiful. Temperatures are a high of 82F and a low of around 60F.
