Get ready to go beyond the typical and immerse yourself in the heart of Morocco on this week-long journey. Start in Marrakech, where the pulse of the city beats through its vibrant souks, aromatic spice stalls, and lively squares. Then, leave the city behind and venture deep into the breathtaking Ourika Valley and High Atlas Mountains, where the traditional Amazigh village of Tizi N’Oucheg awaits. Here, life moves at a different pace, and you’ll be part of it — baking fresh bread, weaving with local artisans, planting alongside villagers, and hiking scenic trails with a shepherd to glimpse his daily world. Wander through the local market, soak in the stunning mountain scenery, and experience the warmth of a community where traditions are passed down through generations. This isn’t just a visit — it’s a chance to become part of a place most travellers never get to see.
Intimate unpack-just-once adventures that bring out the best of the world’s best destinations.
Simple and clean hotels and hostels; affordable public and private transport; lots of optional activities.
Light walking and hiking suitable for most fitness levels. Nothing too challenging.
Group trips average 12 travellers per departure, depending on the adventure. The maximum is usually no more than 16, but some can be smaller or bigger, depending on the trip. Check individual trips for details.
All travellers under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you view a final copy of your Trip Details a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders, otherwise known as a Chief Experience Officer (CEO). The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects.
We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it's the best of both worlds.
