Tour · 7 nights · with Explore Worldwide
An escorted small-group walking tour with Explore Worldwide, trekking from the Atlas Mountains to Morocco’s Atlantic coast, including mountain villages, valley paths and the historic medina of Essaouira.
Highlights
Walking in Toubkal National Park and High Atlas villages
Lunch with a Berber family in Marigha
Crossing the High Atlas via Tizi n'Test Pass
Walking the Afensou Valley paths and tagine lunch
Strolling Essaouira’s medina and seafront ramparts
This eight-day walking tour by Explore Worldwide begins in Marrakech, where the maze of streets and the scent of mint tea set the scene. From there, the route climbs into Toubkal National Park, passing olive groves and pine forests, with a shared lunch in a Berber village. The walk then traces quiet trails through the Oued Nfis Valley, dotted with almond trees and wildflowers, before crossing the High Atlas via the Tizi n'Test Pass to Taroudant, a market town with fortified walls.
Journeys
Next, the tour heads to the Afensou Valley, where fields slope gently towards the village and a tagine lunch awaits. The coastal section includes a walk along empty beaches near Sidi Mbarek and finishes in Essaouira, which still carries echoes of its 1960s musical heyday. Narrow streets lead to centuries-old ramparts and a port crowded with blue fishing boats. A final day returns to Marrakech with a guided tour through souks and monuments including Bahia Palace and Jemaa el-Fna.
The pace balances walking with moments to rest or take in the views, and accommodations range from mountain hotels to riads within medinas. There are no surprises here, but plenty of chances for quiet observation and the occasional fragrant cup of mint tea.
