Gain a deeper understanding of Morocco’s spiritual traditions through music, dance, and guided reflection.
Continue your Moroccan adventure with a desert expedition into the golden dunes of the Sahara.

The MedTreks Experience
Why We Love Morocco
For us, Morocco stands as an unbeatable destination. It is hard to find a country that offers such a unique blend of rich history, spectacular landscapes and a vibrant kaleidoscope of culture. Each day on this itinerary is completely unique from the other -from the bustling streets of ancient cities like Marrakech, Fes and Casablanca, to the well-preserved Roman ruins of Volubilis, to the stunning sun-soaked dunes of the Sahara Desert and the rugged Atlas Mountains to the charming costal villages of Essouaira – an old walled, Atlantic port city that has been inhabited since Roman times.
In true MedTreks fashion, we have designed this itinerary around the exquisite culture and culinary experiences that Morocco provides. Our expert, English speaking guide and private chartered bus will take us through this enchanting land. A private itinerary just for our group, allowing us to visit the most iconic sites but also the hidden gems that not every tourist gets to experience. A highlight is having lunch in a Berber village in the High Atlas mountains. We will enjoy walking tours throughout the day and spend each evening in the comfort of a Moroccan 4-5 star boutique hotel or riad. Throughout out time we will savor the unique flavors of the traditional Moroccan cuisine. There will be many additional optional activities on this journey from cooking classes, photography workshops, and of course, the option to experience a Moroccan Hamman (bath). You will have endless opportunities to explore the narrow streets of the bustling souks and markets, world-famous for the best crafts in all of Africa that are truly made in Morocco. You will get to meet the creators and artisans and witness them making their art in real time.
A visit to Morocco is a journey for the senses. It is a place that can’t fully be described, but experienced.
“Words cannot describe how amazing my time on the Morocco CME Hiking and Cultural tour was and I do not have the literary skill to attempt such a feat! From an amazing group to exploring the vast old medinas and learning about their intricate history from our personal guide Haddou to hiking in the Atlas mountains and experiencing the sunset, stars, and sunrise in the Sahara to walking in the ocean in Essaouria and everything in between, it was a wonder and privilege to learn about the history and people of Morocco, especially being welcomed in to the home of a Berber family! And don’t forget the cultural experience of the amazing cuisine, (including an optional cooking class!) and the luxury accommodations across the beautiful and welcoming country! I cannot recommend MedTreks enough and many thanks to Ari and her team for the dedication and ceaseless work giving us such an amazing experience! On to the next trip!” C.C, Physician Assistant

“This was a fantastic experience, we saw Morocco edge to edge: from the ‘new’ in Casablanca, the old and older in Fes and Marrakech, camels in the Sahara, hiking in the Atlas Mountains, and ending with the gorgeous Essaouira shore. You don’t have to be in the medical field to join in a MedTreks adventure! Ari is an easygoing and FUN leader who I highly recommend!”
