Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Experience the local hospitality during your homestay with a charming local family in Moulay Idriss – where you can enjoy a hearty homecooked feast by your host and learn about their culture.
Embrace the Atlantic breeze in the coastal town of Tangier and see the vivid blue hues of Chefchaouen over sunset, while you explore the houses and laneways of this surreal city.
See the impressive Roman ruins of Volubilis, which rise from the Jebel Zerhoun Plain, and get lost in the charm of the zigzagging lanes in the once imperial capital of Meknes.
Relive a medieval past in bustling Fes. While many tourists get lost in the labyrinthine streets of the medina, you'll have a local guide to show you the way.
Explore the sprawling public square of Djemaa el-Fna. Where else would you find drummers, dancers, fortune tellers, jugglers, street food vendors and old medicine men all in one place?
Is this trip right for you?
Ramadan is a month-long festival in Morocco, often in March and April. Travelling during this period can be a rewarding cultural experience, however some regular services may not be available during the daytime, such as restaurants or coffee bars, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider your travel arrangements carefully before booking travel for this period.
The trains can get busy at peak periods, so we’d recommend packing lightly and compactly to make sure you can get on and off the train easily and quickly. You'll need to be able to handle your luggage through busy train stations.

My first trip with Intrepid doing the North Moroccan adventure and could not fault. Well organised, priced reasonably for the experience- a Moroccan way of life.

Never been to Africa before, but this North Morocco and was sublime, with memories I will cherish forever. Hamid, the tour leader was exceptional in every way, who went above and beyond, that enhanced the trip to make it very easily enjoyable for us, with positive vibes. Picturesque highlights were Tangier and Chefchaouen with a bit of Moroccan spice along the way! Highly recommend Hamid as a tour leader he such is thorough in what he does, approachable and friendly!

The northern Morocco trip was amazing, but if you love animals, especially cats, there is one town that will make you cry because of the hunger and disease all the cats face. Avoid Moulay Idress. The rest of the tour was great.

This was the first Intrepid tour I have ever done and I would highly recommend it to others. Our group leader Redouan was excellent. He was knowledgeable, organised, helpful and very approachable. I loved Morocco and Redouan was a good man!

Felt so safe travelling with our Moroccan guide Ayoub. He kept us all well organised and on time and responded to any issues or concerns. Morocco has something fascinating around every corner.

I had such a fantastic trip exploring north Morocco, we experienced and learnt things that just wouldn't be possible with solo travel. Our guide was wonderful and the overall experience couldn't be better.

I LOVED this tour. My first introduction to Intrepid and it was nothing short of pure joy. North Morocco in particular varied so much between the cities with so much to see and experience in terms of culture, people, food and landscapes. I’ve left feeling eager to return back and explore more of Morocco.
