Day 1

Welcome to Morocco!

Touchdown in Morocco! The Land of the Sunset, the home to Tagines and a place famous for its crazy markets and breathtaking views. We're starting in Marrakech! Once you arrive at your hotel you'll have the day to roam, meet with the group and set off to discover your first taste of Morocco. Whether you want to go over to the leather workshops, or the markets or you just want a place to drink some tea and people watch (when in Morocco right?) your travel ninja (aka your new best friend) will be on hand to give you suggestions for your first day. In the evening you'll all meet as a group, begin to get to know each other and start to work out who in the group is the best photographer!

Day 2

Exploring the souks of Marrakech

Morning TruTravellers! It's our first full day as a group and we are visiting Marrakech's hotspots with our local guide! We'll start at Jardin Majorelle which is an Instagrammers dream. It was created in 1922 and more recently in 1980 it was bought by Yves Saint Laurent who wanted to save it from being turned into a hotel. Thank goodness he did because it really is a special place to visit! Once we've had a group photo in all the iconic spots we'll head over to Jemaa el-Fna, the main square in Marrakech. You'll have seen photos of this place with all its bustling market stalls. Markets in Morocco are unlike anywhere else so dust off your haggling skills...let's go shopping. In the evening we'll go out for a group dinner overlooking Jemaa el-Fna - it looks even more incredible at night!

Drive to the Countryside and Rural Exploring!

We're heading away from the bustling city and getting our first taste of a more remote Morocco. Today is a big travel day, so stock up on snacks (Oreos at the ready!) The views on this journey will be INSANE! We'll pass through loads of incredible valleys and stop off at some amazing viewpoints, too. The final stop of the day will be in the Monkey Fingers Valley - it's a really amazing spot to finish the journey with! Once we arrive to Boumalne Dades, we'll soak in the views, drop off our bags in the epic rooms and then head down for a group dinner at our hotel in Boumalne Dades and try some more of Morocco's delicacies - did someone say 3-course meal?

Day 4

Todra Gorge and travelling to Merzouga

First up today, we're heading to Todra Gorge, one of Morocco's must-see areas. It’s like something out of Indiana Jones, although luckily for us, there’ll be no giant boulder chasing us today…wel,l not one that we know of, at least... After we've explored the Gorge, we're heading to our next destination - Merzouga. This is what we've all been waiting for - we're heading to the desert! This afternoon we've got some time to chill. Your tour guide will have plenty of suggestions, so whether you want to do some exploring on foot or just want to relax closer to the hotel, you'll be spoilt for choice. Luckily for us, the Sahara desert is only a short walk away...we're talking literally only a couple of minutes - get ready for a dreamy desert sunset!

Day 5

Sandboarding and Desert Glamping

First up, we will have a chilled morning, have a lie-in, have a swim and take the day at a slower pace! Then, chakras at the ready for an epic sandboarding experience in the heart of the desert. Want to know the best part of today? Well, it's got to be our sleepover on the sand dunes - and we're getting there via Camel (beats Uber any day!) We'll head over to the campsite, meet the locals who are taking us in for the night and settle into our temporary, magical home! After a super busy and exciting day, we’ll get ready for an evening of good food, drumming (of course...) and lots of star-gazing. Trust us - you have NEVER seen stars like these!

 

Remember to pack an overnight bag for our evening in the desert! You won't need much, just the bare essentials and some spare clothes for the morning :)

Travel day to Ait Ben Haddou

Did you sleep well? Of course you did! After a night in the desert, we’ll have a stunning morning watching the sunrise and pinching ourselves cause surely this isn't real life!? What could be better than getting back to basics with a night in the desert, surrounded by amazing people and even better views? Sadly, though, we can't stay here forever, so we'll move on to our next stop: Ait Ben Haddou. It's an iconic landscape that has been used in countless famous films and series such as Game of Thrones, so get your cameras at the ready for some epic photos tomorrow...

Today is an early start as we’re off to the heart of Ait Ben Haddou! This fortified village has been used as a filming location for Game Of Thrones, The Mummy and Gladiator. A great place to spend an hour getting lost amongst the pretty alleys and castle-like buildings. Then we're off to our next epic location, and it's not a journey you want to nap on! Look at the epic views as we cross the Tichka Pass and get some awesome photos along the way. We told you that Morocco is a photographer's dream! We'll arrive in Imlil in the afternoon and soak in the views and the sun from our amazing hotel!

You'll also get a chance to experience some things you might have missed the first time around. In the evening, we will learn how to make the traditional cuisine we have been trying all week at a local cooking class.
