Activity/Tour

ABOUT US:

Our first steps in the world of adventure and luxury tours began years ago when our desire to share the wonders and culture of Morocco with the rest of the world grew into the development of a unique travel organization. Since those beginnings, we have broadened our horizons to offer a range of travel adventures in many parts of the country.

We offer a wide range of treks, walks, Sahara expeditions, skiing or climbing in the Atlas Mountains and many other exciting options. While some require physical as well as mental stamind, most are adventures which can be enjoyed by anyone with an enquiring mind who enjoys getting off the beaten track, discovering and learning about the country and its history.

The spirit of adventure and learning are at the core of what we offer. We are dedicated to providing quality, innovation, value and challenge within a framework of ecologically sound adventures. We offer an enormous range of different escapes, from easy walks to 4,000 metre climbs, from the High Atlas Mountains to the vast ergs in the south. Accommodation too can be varied, from top-end establishments through good quality to basic, all carefully chosen to offer value for money.

GUIDES AND TOUR LEADERS:

Moroccan Skies has a highly experienced team to help you organize your adventure to Morocco. Our consultants have traveled to and lived in all corners of Morocco and are passionate about travel. This expertise and passion shows through in their dedication to making every group’s experience the best possible.

The best people to show you a country are people from that country – their country! Our tour leaders are multi-lingual and are also versed in various local dialiects. They will explain to you, in your own language, all about the local history and culture of their homeland. They can bridge the gap between cultures and they can help you to deal with local groups or individuals, ensuring that differences are respected and helping to bring understanding and mutual benefits.

We are committed to providing employment opportunities for local tour leaders, all of whom have studied to gain the necessary accreditation in tourism. We are extremely proud of our team of excellent tour leaders.

GROUP SIZE:

When you join a tour, you will travel with a small group. The maximum number in any group is fifteen – small enough to avoid making a negative environmental impact on the places you visit and people you meet, but large enough to have a good time with other travelers within your group. The least footprints we leave behind us, the better visitors we are.

We do all we can to offer choices, and this may cause the group size to be very small, allowing more privacy, but we ensure always that every day offers variety and interest, no matter how small the numbers in the tour.

LUXURY AND WELL-BEING;

Experience first class adventure travel by day and sophisticated, luxurious accommodation by night, combined with the very best in personal service, transport and local guides.

ENJOY A HAMMAN:

Moroccan Hammam is one of the most ancient and richest natural systems for body health in the world. Originating in the time of the ancient Romans in Africa, it is today considered an important health tradition – not only a therapeutic practice, but also a philosophy and lifestyle. The Hamman includes both the physical aspect as well as social and environmental factors as part of creating a harmonious universe for the patient.

A Hamman is an invigorating experience. It comprises a traditional bathing ritual which combines good hour of scrubbing and pummeling while you lie on a stone slab and the application of muddy unguents, all taking place in a private heated, steamy chamber.

We offer several spa packages in charming hotels or residence where you can take time to re-balance your energies physically, mentally, psychologically and spiritually.

ROCK THE KASBAH;

If you have a preference for fine dining, we will take you to a Kasbah or superior hotel where you can enjoy your meal in a romantic setting attended by local skilled staff. All locations are private and have a theatrical theme. With impeccable planning, we will steer you to new surroundings to enjoy famous local dishes, perhaps after an afternoon lounging by the pool or shopping in a nearby medina. Later, you can stroll in the Kasbah or Ksar’s medieval gardens and watch the orange sunset as the sun dips behind the snow-capped Atlas Mountains.

Luxury tours are tailor-made to meet your personal requirements.


MOROCCAN FESTIVALS:

Morocco is a country of many joyous religious and cultural festivals. In village squares, in Kasbah halls, in riads and courtyards or Andalucian gardens, festivals are celebrated with enthusiasm and fervour.

For those who want to learn more of the cultural, artistic or musical scene, we can guide you to many opportunities to open your mind and broaden your knowledge of our traditions. Some of the colourful events included in our tours are –

- Fes sacred music festival (Fes)
- Gnawa world music festival (Essaouira)
- Rose festival (Qalaat Mgouna)
- Berber wedding festival (Imilchil)


ACCOMMODATION:

Luxury riads, rustic mountain lodges, romantic desert Kasbahs and more ….. Morocco is a land of surprises. In the medinas of Marrakech, Fez, Essaouira or in many other fascinating towns, nondescript doorways in the warren of medieval alleyways can give way to dazzling guest houses – known locally as ‘riads’ – oases of calm and sophistication away from the bustle of the streets. Away from the towns, this element of surprise can be even more profound. It may be a romantic guest house in the guise of an old mud brick Kasbah rising out of the desert and sitting peacefully in palm-filled gardens, or it could be a charming Berber guest house, richly decorated with local crafts. In terms of accommodation, Morocco has it all, with something to suit all budgets.

Moroccan Skies has taken the trouble to find special hidden-away places for you to enjoy, places chosen because they combine a unique character with the right standard of amenities.


Contact us, by email or telephone, to discuss your plans and we will put together a proposal that best meets your requirements and budget.

For those whose busy lives allow limited time for holidays, we offer the opportunity to enjoy one of our series of short break tours.

Our popular week-long trips are carefully planned to give maximum opportunities within a minimum time-frame.

The options are many.

Nowhere else so close to Europe gives such a strong sense of ‘foreignness’ and mystery as does Morocco, something that neither decades of colonial occupation nor the influence of tourism has managed to erode. It is a place where the colourful and the exotic can be experienced to the full. There is so much you can fit in if you take a short break with Moroccan Skies.

Look at our website and you will be amazed to find what you can do on a short break adventure holiday with us. Just get in touch and we will be happy to advise you.

Travel guide to Morocco: adventure/ cultural tours/ family holidays/ special short Breaks...
Moroccan Skies, a travel agency based in Marrakech, is a blend of lights, freshness and exotics rare to find altogether in one sole wonderful experience while traveling. Indeed, almost as difficult to reproduce as the skylight that made this not yet uncharted country a beautiful and mysterious destination for those who dream of a real adventure.

Our first steps in the world of adventure travel industry were taken years ago under the Moroccan skies where the aspiration to share uplifting sensations grew in the travel organization. Since those times we've broadened our horizons and now offer adventures to all over the country.

Treks, walks, Sahara expeditions, cultural journeys, special short breaks, some which require physical as well as mental stamina, most are 'adventures' which can be enjoyed by anyone with an inquiring mind who enjoys getting off the beaten track, discovering and learning about their chosen destination.

The Spirit of Adventure and learning encapsulate the core of what we offer quality, innovation, value and challenge encompassed within a framework of ecologically sound adventures. We offer an enormous range of different escapes, from easy walks to 4000 meter climbs, from the High Atlas to the vast ergs in the South. Accommodation is also varied, from top-end to mostly good quality and comfortable, occasionally basic, always chosen to offer great value and to allow us to discover and explore the country in question.

TRAVEL GUIDES / TOUR LEADERS:

Moroccan Skies has a highly experienced Private Groups team who can help you organize your overseas adventure to Morocco. Our consultants have traveled to and lived all corners of Morocco and are amazingly passionate about travel. This expertise and passion shows through in their dedication to make every group's experience the best possible.

The best people to show you a country are people from that country, their country! Our leaders speak the language and even the areas’ dialect, and will speak to you in your own language, understand the day to day world around them, offer insights into the history and culture, and are passionate about their homeland. They can also help deal with local groups, ensuring we celebrate our differences with respect to the fragile world in which they live bringing understanding and mutual benefits. Providing possibilities for you to enjoy special moments is their secret. Our leaders bridge the gap between our cultures helping you to get more from your chosen adventure holiday.

This also means providing, rather than denying, employment opportunities for local tour leaders, all of whom have studied for many years to gain the necessary accreditation, speak many languages fluently and to whom this is a career, not just a way of life for a few years. We're now extremely proud of our team of excellent leaders, and we continually make sure they do a fantastic job.
