Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Travel by camel across the dramatic red dunes of the Sahara Desert and spend the night camping under North African stars.
Spend time in two of Morocco’s most picturesque towns – the 11th century kasbah of Ait Benhaddou and Chefchaouen, with its striking blue and whitewashed houses, red-tiled roofs and artistic doorways.
Tuck into a memorable dinner in Fes and dine on one of the city’s signature dishes – the salty and sweet pastilla, one of the best pies you’ve ever tasted!
Join expert local guides to explore medinas, Roman ruins and rural areas and gain a deeper understanding of significant sites in Rabat, Volubilis, Fes, M’Goun and Marrakech.
Take part in the traditional Amazigh activity of henna tattooing, where a naquasha will adorn your hands and feet with beautiful designs, supporting local women, their families and community with an income.
Is this trip right for you?
The Sahara Camp is on the edge of the desert. In 2019, the Moroccan government put measures in place to improve the safety, quality and impact of desert camps, which means that camping inside the Erg Chebbi dunes is no longer possible.
Several days include a great deal of time spent on your feet, particularly Day 5 (Fes) and Day 9 (M’Goun Valley). A moderate level of fitness and comfortable walking shoes will ensure you get the most out of your trip.
As a desert country, Morocco can have extreme weather. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season. Refer to the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information for more details.
Morocco has a tipping culture and travellers are expected to tip small amounts for most services. Your trip leader and the Money Matters section of the Essential Trip Information can assist you with this.
Although you shouldn’t expect any aggressive selling techniques in Morocco, it’s common to be approached by shop owners and street vendors offering their goods.
We've sourced our accommodation very carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Tuuur style of travel, but please note that service and accommodation in Morocco may differ from standards at home.
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.

A trip for those travellers wanting to explore corners not usually accessed. Meeting locals living simple lives, making memories full of colour. All whilst being socially responsible.

With a short two week window to travel, this tour accomplished everything I was looking for. It was interesting and the guides were informative. The level of service and facilities was very good. Would do it again in a heartbeat

Morocco Uncovered was the most amazing trip. We stayed in a couple of lovely hotels, some riads ( some were absolutely beyond my expectations), we camped in the Sahara, had lunch supplied by a local in their riad( again absolutely oustanding). We stayed in gite. Such a variety and the locals were so welcoming. Next time I will remember to take some items for the local children such as pens, pencils, books for school etc. Overall an outstanding experience!

Morocco Uncovered was exactly what I was hoping it would be. I love the small group travel with Intrepid. This trip did not disappoint with a mixed group of English speakers all looking to explore the people, culture, history and landscape of Morocco.

If you’re heading to Morocco for a couple weeks and want a comprehensive overview of this magical place you can’t do better than traveling with Intrepid and Khalid as your leader. Excellent in every way.
