The itinerary is the same for both tours. However please note TOUR 1 will be fully escorted by our local Moroccan guide AND retreat|recreate host Susan Rees-Osborne, while TOUR 2 will be fully escorted by our local Moroccan guide only.
Beginning in Marrakech and concluding in Casablanca, these socially responsible, off the beaten track 16 night/17 day tours feature six hands-on handcraft experiences in leatherwork, palm leaf weaving, carpet knotting & weaving, embroidery, botanical dyeing, and zellige mosaic work, plus visits to handcraft museums, Amazigh (Berber) villages and women’s carpet and embroidery co-operatives, kasbahs galore, a magical night glamping in the pristine dunes of the Sahara desert, camel rides, the spectacular Atlas Mountains, UNESCO World Heritage sites, visits to private homes, the artisan quarters of ancient medinas, and so much more. See the Itinerary and Trip Notes for more details.
Things to note:
- Please see the fitness and mobility requirements on page 1 of the Trip Notes;
- our maximum group size is 12 women on each tour. A group this size is big enough to be viable but small enough that we don’t need a massive tour bus; we can also select boutique accommodation, eat at local restaurants and in family homes, and enjoy hands-on craft experiences with locals in their small studios;
- Single rooms are not available in the Sahara camp; all solo travellers will be paired up as the tents are all twin share.
Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions or seek clarification about anything, but do check the Trip Notes and Booking Conditions first; your answer may well be there.
