Some destinations are admired for their landmarks. Morocco is remembered for how it makes you feel.
The scent of spices drifting through centuries-old souks. The call to prayer echoing across imperial cities. Intricately carved courtyards hidden behind unassuming doors. A leisurely coffee at the iconic Bacha Coffee in Marrakech. And as the journey slows, a sunset camel ride across the stark landscapes of the Agafay Desert, followed by dinner beneath the stars. Every encounter reveals another layer of a country shaped by history, craftsmanship and enduring tradition.
This 8-day luxury small-group journey through Morocco has been thoughtfully designed to take you beyond the expected. Travel from the Atlantic energy of Casablanca to the ancient medina of Fez, through the imperial heritage of Meknes and the remarkable Roman ruins of Volubilis, before discovering regal Rabat and the colour, culture and creative spirit of Marrakech. Along the way, explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites, magnificent architecture, vibrant souks and artisan quarters, discover celebrated gardens and museums, and taste your way through Fez on an authentic street-food experience.
One of the journey's most memorable moments unfolds amid the lunar landscapes of the Agafay Desert, where a sunset camel ride and private tent dinner beneath the stars provide an unforgettable Moroccan finale. With handpicked stays, expert-led cultural discoveries and immersive local experiences, Away Exotics Morocco offers a deeper, more considered way to experience one of North Africa's most captivating destinations.
22 January – 29 January 2027
Arrive in Casablanca, Morocco’s cosmopolitan Atlantic gateway, where contemporary energy meets a rich architectural heritage. Settle in after your journey and enjoy time at leisure before gathering for a welcome dinner, your first introduction to Moroccan flavours, hospitality, and the journey ahead.

Plan your journey
A land of ancient medinas, Atlantic shores, imperial cities and striking desert landscapes, Morocco is one of North Africa’s most captivating destinations. From the historic quarters of Fez and Rabat to the vibrant energy of Marrakech and the lunar landscapes of Agafay, each place reveals a different facet of the Kingdom. Rich in heritage yet distinctly contemporary, Morocco draws you in with colourful souks, remarkable architecture, exceptional cuisine, centuries-old craftsmanship and warm hospitality.
A week offers an excellent introduction to Morocco, with time to experience its imperial cities, ancient medinas, vibrant souks and cultural landmarks. With ten days or more, you can travel at a gentler pace, combining Marrakech, Fez, Rabat and Casablanca with deeper explorations of the country’s desert landscapes, coastal towns and lesser-known regions.
