Complete Morocco Active Adventure

Further south, the Atlas Mountains offer more walking trails, and a desert stay near Zagora includes camping beneath the stars and an early morning camel ride over golden dunes. On the itinerary are several other cities and villages, including Fés with its bustling medina, and visits to local markets and families, allowing an acquaintance with everyday life and food traditions. The 16-day tour balances physical activity with cultural insight, conveyed by a guiding team who blend general knowledge with connections to local experts.

Accommodation varies from modest hotels to a desert camp; expect the odd set of stairs without lifts and plumbing quirks. Meals are mostly not included to allow flexibility and exploration. It's a lively, at times demanding trip across varied Moroccan terrain and cultures.
