December 3 - 10, 2027

A week in Morocco to fall in love with travel all over again

Explore Morocco over eight days with a small group of adventurous tour operators, with stays in an Atlantic surf village, a desert camp and a riad in the city.

Leave the laptop behind.

This trip is an escape, and an excuse to finally put the laptop away, or at least at the bottom of your backpack. Your attention goes to being present and feeling into a place: the ocean in Taghazout, the stillness of the Agafay Desert, a riad courtyard in Marrakesh. Your hosts take care of every detail, so you can feel a sense of ease and excitement.

You spend your year making trips happen for other people. This one is for you.

What the week is like

The pace

Each stage has free time built in: an open afternoon on the coast, a free day in the desert and time in Marrakesh to wander or visit a hammam.

The stays

You sleep in an oceanfront guesthouse in Taghazout, a desert camp in Agafay and a riad in Marrakesh.

The food

You share a meal in a family home, eat seafood on the beach and cook lunch with women in a desert village. Most dinners and some lunches are included.

Where the week takes you

  • Arrival

    Friday, December 3

    At 2pm the group heads west out of Marrakesh toward Taghazout, a surf village on the Atlantic with deep Amazigh roots. You settle into an oceanfront guesthouse, take in the sea air, and meet everyone over a candlelit welcome dinner. From the first evening, someone else is organizing the next step.

    Saturday, December 4 to Sunday, December 5

    The coast sets the pace. You walk the beach with a local guide, journal by the ocean, share fresh fish in the village and ride horseback along the shore, and the day ends over seafood on the beach. In Agadir, you wander Souk El Had, the largest market in Morocco, among artisans and spice sellers, then share a meal and conversation in a family home. The afternoon is free on the coast, and at dinner the women-led team who built this trip with us joins the group.

  • The Agafay Desert

    Monday, December 6 to Wednesday, December 8

    You travel inland and share a homemade Amazigh lunch with the family who prepared it, and by late afternoon the desert camp comes into view. Dinner around the fire under a wide night sky marks the change of pace. The next morning begins with meditation and breathwork led by a local healer, and the rest of the day is yours for a massage in an open tent, a walk, your journal or stillness. At sunset a desert elder leads a Moroccan tea ceremony, and a storyteller carries the evening. On the last day you cross the desert by camel, cook lunch with the women of a nearby village, and share the travel stories that stayed with you.

  • Marrakesh

    Thursday, December 9 to Friday, December 10

    You return to Marrakesh and spend the afternoon with the city’s artists and makers in their workshops, seeing how they build and sell their work. Then there is free time to wander or visit a hammam. The trip closes with dinner in a riad courtyard, with Gnawa music carrying into the night. After one last breakfast together, group transfers run to Marrakesh Airport throughout the day.
