A trip to Morocco is like a step back in time. From Marrakech's bustling medina to the Sahara Desert, one of the world's seven wonders, a journey through Morocco is an adventure from the past. A coastal North African country, Morocco welcomes a mix of Arabic, French, Spanish, and indigenous Berber influences. The result is a distinctive, timeless style that will stay with you long after you return home. Our trip begins in Casablanca and journeys to the Sahara. Here, we'll stay in a luxury desert camp while we explore the Dades Gorges, Morocco’s Grand Canyon. Finally, we'll move on to magnificent Marrakesh. There's an optional two-night extension to the seaside town of Essaouira if you'd love a perfect end to your adventure. March is an ideal time to visit Morocco while temperatures are mild. We’ve set up a meet-and-greet with the locals, emphasizing the women of Morocco. This will give us a deeper, more authentic perspective on the Moroccan lifestyle. Of course, we’ll spend time at the markets where the shopping is incredible. We’ll experience a traditional hammam ritual and have a Moroccan cooking class in a Riad. Mosques and palaces will fill our days. We'll relax over ubiquitous mint tea, and on our last night, we’ll throw a party like you’ve never seen. We’ll dress in stunning traditional attire. Then, the music, dancing, and feasting will start. This is the Morocco of your dreams.
Here's a day-by-day itinerary of the trip

The trip officially starts on the afternoon of March 4th, but if you are traveling across an ocean to get to Morocco, consider arriving a day early so you have time to relax and adjust to the local time zone. If you do decide to arrive early, you can book directly through the website under the Add On button. We'll make sure that you stay in the same room when the trip starts.
Airport transfers are included on the day the trip starts. If you are arriving early they are not included in the cost of the trip but we can make arrangements to have you picked up at the airport and brought to the hotel.
We will have a zoom call about 8-10 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.
March is a great time to visit Morocco. It is the beginning of Spring. The temperature in Morocco in March grows warmer during the day, with average daytime temperatures of 68F-75F, depending on the area you visit. Nights are still chilly, though with nighttime temperatures between 50F-55F. March tends to be the second rainiest month of the year.
You do not need a special visa to enter Morocco. Don’t forget your passport. It’s the one item that’s tough to replace. Please ensure enough empty pages and that it is valid for a full six months from the date you return from the trip.
