Why should you travel to Morocco with us?

In Morocco, the only search engine you’ll need is the stars.

Most travel operators will set you down in a nice but not particularly special hotel. You’ll wait around for taxis that lead you through choked roads and throw you out in the medina of Marrakech. You’ll be there, but you’ll feel apart from it. Almost involved; as if you’re living in a simulation. With our bespoke Moroccan itineraries, however, we work closely with local contacts and guides; seamlessly conveying you from stupendous hotels (such as the palatial Royal Mansour and Kasbah Tamadot) to immersive cooking tours, desert sidecar rides, and Berber encampments in the breathtaking Agafay Desert. You’ll stop for mint tea and tajine with village locals in the Atlas Mountains; visit the secret, hidden city of Chefchaouen.

Step into Fes. Walk its vast, pedestrianized urban areas and catch a glimpse of the Andalusian art and Kufic calligraphy found in the ancient 9th century University of Al-Karaouine. Once you’ve admired the traditional architecture and intricate tapestry work that peppers the Medina (we’ll arrange a guide if you’re unsure what you’re looking for), you’ll want some time to digest your day. We suggest you enjoy a private dinner of modern Moroccan dishes, such as sashimi with zaalouk at the exclusive Nur fusion restaurant.

Top Locations in Morocco

If we were asked to choose our top three places in Morocco, we’d go for these.
Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech

Marrakech

A dazzling former imperial city in the country’s traditional West.

Marrakech, with its riotous tilework and intricate Islamic design, is built around its bustling medinas, historic mosques, palaces and gardens. The Moorish minaret of 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque overlooks it all; a city of exceptional dining, opulent interiors, and vibrant streets.

The Atlas Mountains, Morocco

The Atlas Mountains

To the Berbers, these are Idraren Draren – the ‘Mountains of Mountains’.

This massive formation of mountains spans some 2,500km across northwestern Africa. Its peak is mighty, snow-capped Toubkal; in whose valleys and foothills are Berber villages, winding roads, stunning treks, and some of the world’s most beautiful hotels and palaces.

Essaouria town at sunset

Essaouira

Feel the breath of the wind in this UNESCO-protected coastal city.

This historic port city on Morocco’s Atlantic coast is focused on a historic medina and protected by the Skala de la Kasbah; ramparts at whose feet are beaches popular with surfers who make use of the Alizée trade winds. Gentle verandas, peaceful streets, blue fishing fleets, and charming restaurants.
