DISCLOSURE: This tour covers the whole of the country of Morocco and, naturally, involves a LOT of driving. We will have some days with drives of 5-6 hours and our journey to and from the Sahara involves a day of 9+ hours on the road. Many tours leave out at least one highlight in the country because of the distance to travel, but this tour offers the full experience. Rest assured, we organize the itinerary so that there are plenty of activities to break up the journey. Note that our itinerary focuses on local experiences, including food, so meals might not have many Western options. The itinerary is subject to change due to inclement weather or other factors outside of our control. We always strive for the best possible experience and will substitute anything that must be changed with something equally or even more awesome!

Testimonials

Caitlin F.

“I’ve been on two TBA Escapes tours and both have been exceptional. The Morocco trip was a dream come true. I’ve been dying to visit Morocco for years, but it always felt so intimidating…I didn’t know where to start. When TBA Escapes announced the Morocco tour, I knew I couldn’t miss it. I’m so glad I didn’t. It was one of the best trips I have ever had. Every part on the tour was so intentional and mindful. The food was delicious, the accommodations were divine, and every stop felt special and magical. Caity, our guide, was incredible at leading us, but also making a connection with every single woman on the tour. Her light and positivity were contagious, and she made sure every one of us were taken care of. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Seeing the Sahara was beyond anything I could ever imagine, and seeing it with such an incredible group of women on such a well-planned adventure was the icing on the cake!”

Abby R.

“TBA Escapes planned the perfect trip to Morocco! All transfers, accommodations, meals, and activities were expertly planned and executed and allowed us the opportunity to see so much of Morocco in two weeks. From the beautiful blue walls of Chefchaouen to the winding alleys and souks of Marrakech, we experienced it all! The excursion to the Sahara was a once in a lifetime experience I will never forget. I could not recommend this, or any other TBA Escapes tour, more! I met such amazing women who share my passion for travel. Do not hesitate to join a TBA Escapes trip if you have the opportunity. I can’t wait for the next one!”

Victoria T.

“My tour with TBA Escapes was absolutely out of this world! The accommodations were stunning and the food was delicious; we were literally treated like royalty! Going into the tour I was a little nervous of the safety of the location, but our guides made sure that our safety was of the upmost importance, and I never felt uncomfortable at all during our trip. Traveling with a group of like-minded women was one of the highlights for me! Everyone was so incredibly nice, supportive, and adventurous. Morocco was truly a DREAM, and it was all made possible by TBA Escapes!”

Tara L.

“I have never given someone else the voice of my vacation. I like to do things my way in my time, so giving that to someone else was overwhelming. But then there was a sweet young lady named Caity waiting for my arrival at the airport. The moment I met her, everything was arranged for me. Everything from dietary restrictions to sightseeing, my voice was heard. I would have never gone to Morocco myself, so this was the perfect chance to see a place with an incredible group of people. #saharaburn”
