Morocco

Overview

Who This Plan Is For

For the traveler who needs more than sightseeing. Morocco is one of the most physically diverse countries on earth — from 4,000m Atlas peaks to the Sahara to Atlantic surf breaks, all within a few hours of each other.

This 10-day adventure itinerary strings together the best active experiences in the country, with enough flexibility to adjust intensity based on your fitness level. Moderate trekkers and serious adventurers will both find this plan rewarding.

Key Destinations

Getting There & Arriving From Abroad

Fly into Marrakech (RAK) for the Atlas trek and Sahara section, then head to the coast — Agadir (AGA) is the airport for Taghazout surfing (about 45 minutes away). UK travelers: easyJet, Ryanair and TUI fly to both from London, Manchester and Bristol; from Europe, Paris, Madrid and Frankfurt have direct routes. Visa-free 90 days for US, UK, EU, Canadian, Australian and Gulf passports. Surf season on the Atlantic runs October–April (best waves in winter); the Atlas and desert are ideal March–May and September–November. Pack layers — mountains, dunes and coast in one trip means 25°C swings.
