What We’ll Do

This team will arrive and meet in Marrakech, Morocco. We will have one full day exploring Marrakech both as a team, and alongside local photographers via our NGO, El Fenn. We’ll also have a cooking class over lunch, take in a traditional pre-dinner tea, and watch the famous night market come to life at dusk. We will be staying in a traditional Riad, taking dinner on the roof. Overall you’ll get a chance to explore Marrakech and it’s ancient Medina in all kinds of light and atmospheres while still taking time to have extraordinary experiences.

We will have a 2nd day in Marrakech where we work even more closely with our NGO partner, El Fenn, who is committed to supporting the arts in Morocco, and Moroccan Artists.

We will then travel towards the Sahara, but stopping for time in the High Atlas Mountains, staying overnight in a traditional Kasbah, and more before arriving to the incredible Sahara Desert. We’ll stay in the desert, one night in a duneside hotel, and one night out in the actual dunes camping in tents with our guides. We’ll then head to the jaw-dropping Dades Gorge, spend a night, and make the long trek back to Marrakech.
