Follow Morocco’s living traditions from the vibrant lanes of Marrakesh to the remote dunes of Erg Chigaga, where desert silence and nomadic hospitality offer a rare sense of true remoteness. Walk a section of the ancient Salt Road alongside local nomads, learning to read tracks, plants and wind-shaped terrain. Slow down in the Drâa Valley and the Skoura palm grove, with time to explore oasis irrigation systems, meet one of the region’s last traditional potters and cook in a local home. In the High Atlas, hike through walnut groves to an Amazigh village and share a home-cooked meal with mountain families. Here, culture isn’t curated—it’s lived, shaped by land, season and community.
