- Marrakech, Morocco
An African adventure that's nothing like you'd expect
Welcome to sensory overload – in the best way possible. Wander Marrakech’s buzzing souks, trek Atlas Mountain villages, sip mint tea on a riad rooftop, and watch starry skies put on their nightly show. Morocco’s contrasts become a masterpiece–ancient and modern, wild and refined.
Morocco’s stays are a study in contrast and character. In the cities, riads hide behind carved doors - cool tile floors, candlelight, and rooftop terraces above the noise. In the Atlas Mountains, stone retreats deliver Berber warmth and sky-high views with serious style. On the coast, elegant riads blend history and ocean air, the kind of places that turn downtime into part of the adventure.
Moroccan cuisine is slow-cooked, spice-soaked, and impossible to rush. In the kitchen, we roll up our sleeves for a hands-on cooking class, learning the rhythm of saffron, cumin, and cinnamon as tagines simmer and mint tea steams in tall glasses. Lunches unfold in shaded courtyards, dinners linger long after sunset, and every meal feels like an invitation to stay a little longer.
In Marrakech, the scene is all color and chaos: terracotta walls, palm-lined rooftops, and the call to prayer rising over the Medina. In the High Atlas, snow-dusted peaks tower above green valleys and terraced villages, where the horizon stretches for miles. By the coast in Essaouira, whitewashed walls meet the Atlantic and the light turns every moment cinematic. You’ll experience it all on foot, trekking through history and the modern world.
Morocco wears its history on its sleeve. In Marrakech, dynasties and traders left a maze of palaces, riads, and souks that still hum with life - a crossroads of Africa, Arabia, and Europe wrapped in desert dust and color. Up in the High Atlas, ancient Berber villages cling to mountainsides, their traditions older than the cities below. Out in Essaouira, sea walls built by sultans and sailors still guard the port, a relic of empire turned artist’s haven. Centuries collide here, and somehow, it all feels effortlessly alive.
