Marocco Trip to Atlas mountains and Sahara

 

12days
880€

Marocco tour. As a child, did you dream of being in the magical place where Aladdin and Jasmine fell in love? Walk through the Oriental Bazaar, discover the desert riding camels and fly over the city on a flying carpet.  An oriental fairy tale has long been not only animation – everything that you pictured in your mind when thinking of the  “magical east” – comes to life in Morocco! The journey that WeWalk has prepared for you has absorbed the most extraordinary parts of this mysterious magical land.

On an adventure across North Africa, we will climb Mount Toubkal, overlooking the entire Atlas Massif and the Sahara Desert, plunge into the atmosphere of traditional Moroccan cities, walk a caravan through the sands of the Sahara and finish our voyage surfing the Atlantic waves! We do not need heavy backpacks and tents – it is more pleasant to imbue the love of Morocco with light and staying in hospitable traditional houses – riads, small lodges and mountain climbing shelters! Twelve fabulous days in Morocco in which our guides will become your “genies of the lamp” to show you how wishes come true!

complexity

Anyone can safely go on this trip, regardless of experience and physical condition. The light backpacks and the overnight stays in comfortable and authentic guest houses make this experience possible for everyone, regardless of age and physical fitness. To climb Toubkal, you will need mountain boots and membrane-protected clothing, but everything can be rented on the spot right before the ascent.

Comfort

All overnight stays during the trip are held in guest houses, hostels and mountain huts, which have everything we need for a comfortable stay. Meals are served in guest houses or local cafes and restaurants. The weather in Morocco is warm all year round, but it is worth remembering that at night the temperature drops to 5-10 degrees Celsius, and also that we will find snow on our ascent to Toubka. Taking a fleece and a jacket to stay in the mountains is recommended.
