Retreat Overview
Our Desert Escape Morocco Road Trip will take you across four cities and you’ll come to truly feel the difference between a traveler and a foreigner. Forget the ‘chi chi frou frou’ instagrammable, romanticized Morocco everyone longs for. We want you to connect with our traditional North African culture. Yes there will be breathtaking Riyads, luxurious palaces and Souqs (market places) but what makes Morocco so unique is the warmth of its people and the blend of African, Arab and Berber heritage.
Our Morocco Tour will be a unique 11 day road trip across various cities. Marrakech, Warzazate, Ait Ben Haddou, Merzouga desert and Todra Gorges. If you dig a genuine experience; bring a book, a pillow or lover, a friend, podcasts, a set of dominoes and your sense of adventure.
Travel with heart open and spirit ready, travel Burgundy Roots!
