This is seriously our most divine Women Only Morocco journey yet. A fabulous opportunity for you to discover Al Maghrib, the ancient Arabic name for Morocco. Home to a rich culture that goes far beyond what you might know of the souks of Marrakech, Morocco is a country that deserves a deeper exploration.
Here’s a hint of what we will be doing:
– visit artisanal carpet makers, nomadic traders and female designers.
– breathe in the rich aromas of the spice markets before grabbing a bargain in the souks, hunting for handmade slippers and authentic Berber rugs.
– sip mint tea and watch the going’s on in Djemaa el Fna
– weave our way through Fez’s age-old alleyways.
– visit Volubilis and the home of Islam at Moulay Idriss.
– head south to the old Portuguese city of El Jadida staying the night in a 19th Century former church.
– visit Essaouira, with it’s Atlantic seafront, incredible artisan community and fabulous seafood
– travel to the Agafay Desert for an overnight under the stars in a luxury tented camp.
– we travel to the Atlas Mountains to discover local Berber villages and luxuriate in a gorgeous Kasbah
– stay 4 nights in Marrakech, the pink-walled Medina where we will discover legendary souks, sumptuous Moorish palaces and gorgeous botanical gardens.
– We stay in a combination of gorgeous Riads, hotels & luxury tents.
On this 2 week Women Only Moroccan journey, we’ll take you into some of our favorite spots with stays in some of our all-time favorite properties.
