We will begin our adventure in Marrakech, staying in a riad, which is a traditional Moroccan palace. For two days we'll explore spice markets, spas and all this exotic city has to offer.

Then come the mountains and valleys. Sprawling along the frontier of the Sahara, Morocco’s mighty Atlas Mountains run all the way from the Atlantic coast to the northern Rif Mountains, separating the cities from the desert. Capped with snow throughout the winter months and cloaked with wildflowers through the summer, the rocky plateaus and lush valleys of the Atlas Mountains provide a striking backdrop for hiking. The rugged mountain terrain is also home to Morocco’s remaining Berber tribes, affording us the opportunity to experience the unique life and culture of the Berbers. Here we will stay with the Berbers, mountain bike, and hike.  

Next we head for the coast. Staying in a traditional harbor town, we will ride camels, surf and explore before we have to return home or continue on an optional desert adventure in the Sahara.
