Morocco

Enticing culture and accessible adventure

Exotic and vibrant, Morocco is a destination with something for everyone, whether it’s exploring the medieval medinas of Marrakech and Fez with an expert personal shopper, or hiking just below the dramatic snow-capped peaks of the mountains in the high Atlas, stopping en route to visit the welcoming Berber population.

Some of the best memories come from camping out in the rolling sands of the Sahara amongst the desert nomads or exploring the laid-back fishing villages on the Atlantic coast.

Morocco offers great variety in terms of places to stay, from the luxurious retreats that dot the countryside to the beautifully restored riads in the imperial cities. The country now has a well-established tourist infrastructure, but if you would like to see a different more exhilarating side, our Destination Experts arrange all manner of inspiring activities.

Chris's Adventure in the High Atlas Mountains

From the staggering sand dunes of The Sahara to the snow-capped mountains of the high Atlas Mountains in one day. ‘Mushkeel’ shouted the children as we picked our way through the streets of the rather desolate village of Agoudal. I waved back at the chorus of rosy cheeks. Cheeks common to children around the world no matter what mountains they live in.

Testimonials

Stories from Morocco

I have been raving about the Route du Sud and cazenove+loyd to all who will listen! We had the most marvelous trip from start to finish and I credit you with making it so. There were so many personal touches and no 'hiccups' on the trip. We felt taken care of and very confident that all would go as planned, which it did. I was so impressed with the details and surprises along the way. Another wonderful touch was the incredibly informative and useful app with our itineraries, maps, photos and more. I used it while in France to show a new Moroccan friend and to recommend the trip and Dar Ahlam to his wife and him. Ellen, Frank and I all travel the globe a great deal and this had to be one of the best trips ever because of the destination, Thierry Tessier’s vision and cazenove+loyd. Thank you again for your attention to the many, many details. I wasn’t ready to leave magical Morocco at the end. You are simply the best and I would not hesitate to travel with you again!
