As this trip covers quite a lot of ground there are some long drives. These are excellent opportunities to get to know your fellow travellers, catch up on some reading, or simply appreciate the scenery.

On Days 8 and 9 you'll visit M’Goun Valley. This remote area of Morocco is an amazing place to discover on foot, but to do so you'll need a moderate level of fitness and have the relevant footwear and clothing with you. Don’t worry if trekking isn’t really your thing, there are plenty of other activities to do in the valley.
verified
The weather in Morocco can be extreme. Summer temperatures can be uncomfortably hot, especially for those who aren't accustomed to the heat, so please consider carefully what time of year you travel.
verified
Although you shouldn’t expect any aggressive selling techniques in Morocco, please be aware that you may be approached by shop owners and street vendors offering their goods to you on regular occasions.
verified
Ramadan is an annual month-long festival, during which travel can be a rewarding cultural experience, however some regular services may not be available during the day, such as restaurants or cafes, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You’ll find dates and further information in the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information.

We absolutely loved the Morocco Real Food Adventure. This trip took us around Morocco and into the kitchens and homes of locals which provided so much more insight into the culture and customs of this beautiful country. I'm excited to take the recipes and skills home to my own kitchen!

This trip exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Morocco is to be enveloped into a glorious mix of stunning landscapes, delicious food and crazy cities. This trip had so much variety and I highly recommend Jawad as a guide. He’s kind, calm, caring, funny and entertaining with drumming, singing, dancing, everyone loves him and he made the trip the best ever.
