Morocco Odyssey: 2026 Edition
Odysseys by Goway, Escorted Tours
Trip Overview:
This 12-day Moroccan small group vacation includes intimate experiences and unique cultural encounters as you journey across this North African nation.
From the bustling boulevards of Casablanca to the windswept ramparts of Essaouira, this journey across Morocco offers travellers a rich mosaic of history, culture, and landscapes. Begin with a warm welcome in Casablanca, where the Atlantic breeze meets striking architecture, before moving on to Rabat, the elegant capital, with its Moorish kasbahs and flower-scented gardens. Roman ruins in Volubilis and the imperial splendour of Meknes provide a glimpse into Morocco’s layered past, while Fes, with its maze-like souks and ancient tannery, transports you into a world unchanged for centuries.
The road south winds through cedar forests, high mountain passes, and fertile valleys before opening into the golden dunes of the Sahara. Here, starlit skies, camel rides, and campfires capture the desert’s timeless magic. Continue through dramatic gorges and rose-filled valleys to Ouarzazate and Aït Ben Haddou, landscapes immortalised on film. In Marrakech, the “Red City,” discover palaces, gardens, and vibrant souks, before unwinding in a traditional hammam.
Venture into the Atlas Mountains to share tea and stories with a Berber family, then roll up your sleeves for a cooking class that reveals the secrets of Moroccan cuisine. Conclude by the sea in Essaouira, a breezy coastal town of ramparts, artists, and fishing boats, with a vineyard visit along the way. With its blend of ancient traditions and warm hospitality, Morocco offers a journey that lingers long after you’ve returned home.
