Get the most out of Marrakech with this highlight-stuffed four-day adventure. Embark on a multi-day food experience that starts with you finding ingredients at the medina, before trying your hand at making tanjia, a tasty stew cooked in a terra cotta pot. But the food doesn’t stop there. Next, you’ll sample bread from a local bakery and then take a full-day trip to Ouzoud oasis and waterfall to cool off from the heat and enjoy lunch. And if you’re hungry for more adventure, you can combine this trip with one that visits the Sahara Desert or the country’s coast for the total Morocco experience.

Is there an extra cost for travelling solo?
We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Where will we stay during the trip?
Traditional Riad (3 nts).
