Why people pick this trip

Go on your own and still have a group

01


You want to go now, not someday

This trip is built for solo travelers. You do not need a travel partner, and you do not need to wait for one.

02


You do not want to plan it

Guides, drivers, stays and visits are all set. Getting around Morocco on your own is hard. Here, someone else handles it.

03


You want a small group

No more than 12 travelers. That is small enough to learn every name before the first dinner is over.

04


You want time that is yours

There is a free day in Marrakech. Join a guided walk, or wander on your own. The choice is yours.
