Itinerary
1
Welcome To Morocco!
Touchdown in Morocco, land of tagines, wild markets and big views, and we're starting in Marrakech. Drop your bags and take the day to roam: leather workshops, the markets, or a mint tea and some people-watching. Your Local Legend will have plenty of ideas. This evening we meet as a group and start working out who's the best photographer.
2
Cooking Class And Marrakech Souks
This morning we cook up a storm at The Art House, a community tourism project connecting travellers with local artisans and cooks. Learn the secrets of the perfect tagine and chermoula, then eat your lunch. Later, we strike a pose at Jardin Majorelle, walk the souks tasting local street food, and spend the evening in Jemaa el-Fna, Marrakech's main square.
3
Valleys To Boumalne Dades
Big travel day, so stock up on snacks. Our private transfer leaves the city behind for a more remote Morocco, winding through valleys with stops at viewpoints that are honestly insane. We finish at the Monkey Fingers Valley before arriving in Boumalne Dades, dropping our bags in epic rooms and sitting down to a three-course group dinner.
4
Todra Gorge To The Sahara
This morning we walk Todra Gorge, a canyon straight out of Indiana Jones, minus the giant boulder. Then our private transfer heads for Merzouga and the desert we've all been waiting for. The afternoon is yours to explore on foot or relax at the hotel. The Sahara is minutes away: expect a dreamy sunset, dinner and maybe some stargazing.
5
Sandboarding And A Desert Sleepover
Lie in, swim and take the morning slow. Then it's sandboarding in the heart of the dunes. The best part? We travel to our desert camp by camel, meet the locals hosting us and settle in. Expect good food, drumming and the most stars you've ever seen. Pack a small overnight bag with the essentials and clothes for the morning.
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 :)
6
Desert Sunrise To Ait Ben Haddou
Wake up to a Sahara sunrise and pinch yourself, because surely this isn't real life. Sadly we can't stay forever. Our private transport heads for Ait Ben Haddou, stopping at a movie set museum to explore sets from some of the biggest films ever made. We arrive this evening for dinner and an early night before tomorrow's photos.
7
Ait Ben Haddou To Atlas Mountains
Early start to explore the fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou, the film set for Game of Thrones, The Mummy and Gladiator. Then we cross the Tichka Pass, so no napping, the views are too good. In the Atlas Mountains we share a traditional tea with the women's cooperative at Tawesna, then soak up the sun at our Imlil hotel.
8
Waterfall Plunge, Back To Marrakech
Start the day with a walk to the Imlil waterfall and, if you're brave, a cold plunge in its icy water. After a chilled morning we travel back to Marrakech, where it all began. Dive back into the hustle of the markets for a final wander and catch anything you missed the first time around.
9
Chilled Checkout
Tissues at the ready. After nine days of incredible food, huge views and serious fun, it's time to say goodbye. You've got memories for life and enough photos for a year of posting. Your Local Legend is on hand to help with onward travel if the adventure continues. You've made friends for life with the group, so it's not goodbye; it's see you later.

We had the most amazing time in Morocco, and so much of that was because of our tour guide, Driss. He genuinely couldn’t have been better if he tried! He was so fun, attentive and caring throughout the entire trip, always making sure everyone was comfortable, included and having the best time.
The late-night chats and laughs were honestly some of the highlights of the trip and are memories I’ll never forget. Driss went above and beyond to make the experience special, and it really felt like he cared about us having an amazing time rather than just doing his job.

The activities were AMAZING!
This is my second tour with TruTravels and one of their new tours Morocco Uncovered, didn't disappoint when I went in November!
Khalid was a lovely tour guide who gave us lots of free time to explore the bustling souks in Marrakech and recommended lots of places to eat. The added bonus of creating his own songs for our group when we were travelling in the van was a lovely touch which we have all got to keep on Spotify. Thank you Habibi!
The activities were AMAZING! From quad biking in the Sahara desert during sunset, star gazing and camping in the Sahara, riding a came...
