GOING LOCAL

For small group adventures that create positive change, Intrepid has you covered.

The aromas of tagines rich in saffron and argan dance on the breeze along with the teasing scents of spices in the souks. Sounds of Chaabi (folk) and Gnaoua music add an authentic soundtrack, while the silhouette of camels in the desert, lush oases blurring in the distance and the sheer vibrance of Marrakech and Fes, create a breathtaking visual. Morocco really does leave the senses working overtime.

And Intrepid Travel knows Morocco, offering a range of tours up to 24 days long. Their 15-day ‘Premium Morocco in Depth’ trip is a deep-dive into the energetic cities, wild deserts and soaring peaks that are Morocco – all with premium accommodation, premium experiences and premium knowledge.

Guests love the hands-on cooking class with Chef Tarik, a celebrated local chef in Tahanaout. He is known for his healthy Middle Eastern recipes, focus on organic, local produce and authentic flavours. Guests explore his bio-restorative organic kitchen garden, olive grove and orchards, set in a traditional Berber douar, before harvesting ingredients themselves and learning how to make Moroccan delicacies from Chef Tarik.
