Activity Holidays in Morocco

Overview

Pinned to the north-west corner of Africa, between the Sahara Desert and the Atlantic Ocean, Morocco is a weave of cultures with European, Middle-Eastern and Sub-Saharan threads. Whether you’re looking for an invigorating activity holiday in Morocco or a unique Moroccan day experience, there are plenty of local activities to choose from.

It’s a country of magic and mystery. Ancient cities with centuries-old medinas play host to buzzing, chaotic markets and souqs, and this gateway of Africa offers some of the warmest, most generous hospitality you will experience anywhere in the world.

Travel itineraries can be tailor-made for any traveller searching for unique, secluded experiences. Whether you’re searching for adventures in the spectacular snow-capped peaks of the soaring Atlas Mountains, surf camps and water sports along the rugged Atlantic coastline or day trips to the dramatic, arid hillsides dotted with ancient fortresses, Morocco beguiles and enchants from day one.

You could one day be muscling your way through Marrakesh and the throngs of locals, dizzy from the heady mix of smells, sights and noises, and the next be setting off to the laid-back coastal town of Essaouira for a photography workshop and cooking lesson.

Or maybe heading out into the endlessly vast Sahara Desert with its perpetually shifting dunes, star-studded skies, as trains of camels and nomads eternally wander through this ocean of sand to cool, blue oases and gently glowing, dusty mountain ranges.

Add one of our unique experiences and activities in Morocco to your holiday itinerary and you can expect incredible, colourful experiences, ensuring you leave with memories that will last a lifetime.

    F Harper

    Because I have been taking photographs for over 60 years I was not sure exactly what to expect as well as how much I would actually learn, from my week in Morocco. I need not to have concerned myself as tutor Darren was marvellous (very knowledgeable and a nice chap too!). I learnt a lot about using 'Lightroom' the photo manipulating software (plus other things) and because of Darren's help in 'opening doors' to many local people I was able to co

    Best Time to Visit Morocco

    Spring Summer Autumn Winter

    Expect temperatures of 22 degrees in March to 27 degrees in May in Marrakesh.

    The weather begins to warm in Spring, and you may see some sandstorms in the south of the country. In the mountains, the snow begins to thaw and paths start to open up to trekkers, while in the north, the beaches and cities become warmer and more popular, especially as Easter rolls around.

    Expect temperatures of 31 degrees in June to 37 degrees in August in Marrakesh.

    In June, northern Morocco and the High Atlas Mountains are great places to be, as reliably warm temperatures hang around, and it’s starting to really hot up in the south of the country. As the summer goes on, temperatures can actually become a little unbearable, especially in the desert and the mountains. The beaches on the southern coast are your best bet at this time of year as they maintain an average temperature of around 25 degrees at this time of year.

    See more photos

    Expect temperatures of 33 degrees in September to 22 degrees in November in Marrakesh.

    This is an ideal time to visit the northern coast as the domestic tourists empty from the beaches and temperatures become a bit more cooler for those not used to warm climates. The desert becomes cooler and actually quite pleasant, with cool breezes and warm weather.

    See more photos

    Expect temperatures of around 19 degrees in Marrakesh.

    In the north of the country, you’ll be getting wet, chilly, Atlantic weather and the High Atlas Mountains are pretty much impassable due to snowfall. However, in the south of the country, warmer temperatures still attract visitors, especially in the warmer coastal towns where the average temperature is around 20 degrees.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    We protect the environments we visit.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.

    Our Top 3 Day Trips from Marrakech
