Sample Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Marrakesh

  • Touch down in Marrakesh airport where our Adventure Leader will greet you, provide a full safety briefing, and some fun facts about Morocco. 
  • After settling in to your accommodation, explore the bustling souks 
  • In the evening visit the traditional berber or ‘amazigh’ music museum, housed in a beautifully restored 16th century Saadian house. Hear from the owner on the restoration process and then witness a live and interactive performance of traditional music, followed by an authentic Moroccan meal on the roof terrace. 

Day 2: Atlas mountains, Bahia palace and waterfall

  • In the morning, head towards the Atlas mountains for a visit to Ourika Valley with a local guide. En route, you’ll stop off for tasters of Moroccan tea, as well as a women’s cooperative to see how they process aghan nuts to make the famous aghan oil, one of Morocco’s most important exports.  
  • At the valley, hike up to the waterfall to observe first hand features of the water cycle, and the earth formations and structure formed by plate tectonics. 
  • Visit the geometrically fascinating Bahia Palace to witness stunning courtyards and learn about the building’s unique history and how it relates to Morocco’s complicated geopolitical relationship with France. 
  • Head to Café Clock for a contemporary Moroccan meal, including a camel burger if you’re feeling brave! 

Day 3: Camel riding and museum visits

  • Spend the morning riding camels – or, more accurately, Dromaderies. A mode of transport for over a thousand years. Dromaderies are bred to carry cargo so hop on a hump and venture across the sandy Agafay desert in style. Traditional dress and Moroccan tea will be provided to add to the experience.  
  • As a final farewell to Marrakesh, lose yourself in the labyrinth that is the sprawling and intricate Jardin Majorelle and its three accompanying museums – the Islamic Art Museum, the Berber Museum, and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. 

Day 4: Farewell

  • Sadly, today marks the end of your school trip to Morocco. Transfer back to the airport, and prepare to head home.
