Visit Morocco for the first time together and make some lifelong friends along the way! We will start in Tangier and finish in Taghazout, visiting the main sites and some more off-the-beaten track gems along the way. We'll be spending 2 days at most stops so the trip won't be as rushed as a traditional tour, only our accommodation will be more comfortable and for a cheaper price point! Itinerary might change slightly depending on availability/logistics. You also don't need any experience with any of the activities to join :) Highlights: 💚 UNESCO World Heritage Sites 💚 Ait Benhaddouh, where Gladiator and Game of Thrones were filmed 💚 Spend a night under the stars in the Sahara 💚 Camel trekking through the desert 💚 Hike to a waterfall for lunch 💚 Explore Morocco's Imperial cities 💚 Visit Assilah, Taghazout, Essaouira, among others What is included in the price? 💚 Accommodation 💚 Insurance for German/Austrian travellers 💚 Transportation between cities. We will split the costs of inner-city transport while there using Splitwise :) 💚 Most breakfasts, some dinners (I'll do my best to get the best accommodation deals and many will include breakfast) 💚 Local tours 💚 Camel trek in the desert 💚 Hot air balloon ride 💚 ATV quad bike tour in the desert 💚 Any extra money left over I will use on you for dinner or activities or just refund you :) This is likely because I've overestimated just to be on the safe side! 💚 I will also send a packing list and a tips guide
I'm Gia from Ireland, and I live to travel. I love meeting new people and trying foods from different places. So far I've been to around 25 countries... and counting! If you like nature, food, culture, history, adventure plus some downtime then I think we'll have a great time together :)
We will be staying in nice and clean rooms at ~3 star hotels, airbnb rentals, riads or hostels with great reviews (at least 8+). We will be sharing twin rooms, or maybe triple rooms depending on the group number/availability/gender of TripMates. Double or single rooms can be accommodated when available - just message me first so I can check the cost 💚

Europe's gateway to Africa! Its blend of cultures and influences is unique in Morocco – for much of its history it wasn't even governed by Morocco. In fact, many older people in the North of Morocco speak Spanish. Day 1: We will meet at Tangier Airport (TNG) or at the accommodation. In the evening, we will go for dinner together at a terrasse with a view so we can get to know each other in person and celebrate the start of a great trip! Day 2: Explore the old medina and kasbah, Kasbah Museum of Mediterranean Cultures, the Souk Bara (a market that is only available to wander a few days a week), the charming cafés and craft stores. If there is time for more in the evening, we can discuss what to do as a group. Day 3: Day trip to Asilah via train (possibly back via share taxi). The journey will take less than 1 hour each way. Asilah is an art hub and a beautiful coastal town. Things to do: Explore the Medina and Nashia Bazaar, gallery hop, walk along the beach, climb up the Asilah City Walls in good time to nab a spot to catch the sunset. Then head to Avenue Moulay Hassan Ben Mahdi for the catch of the day at The Fish Market before heading back to Tangier. Day 4: Grab breakfast and a coffee before making our way to the next stop by shared taxi

Day 2: Hike to Akchour Waterfall and/ or God's Bridge with a lovely tajine by the water. The hike should take around 5 hours including breaks, lunch and photos. Wear your bathing suit if you're brave enough to go into the water... I hear it's cold. In the evening we will go to a hammam. Day 3: It's a big travelling day, the bus will take just over 4 hours
