UNDISCOVERED MOROCCO

UNDISCOVERED MOROCCO … just £549 per person

Saturday 7 March 2026 to Saturday 14 March 2026

WE RETURN AGAIN TO THIS DRAMATIC LANDSCAPE, sculpted by millions of years of volcanic activity. You will see a geological chaos of buttes and pinnacles, deep gorges and mountains contrasting with the survival of lush and prolific green valleys, date palms and almond groves.

OUR INCREDIBLE EIGHT-DAY ADVENTURE explores the Jebel Saghro, a dramatic and remote landscape between the High Atlas and the Sahara. Along the way, we camp under brilliant night skies, see red-black volcanic rock formations contrasting with lush green oases whilst learning about the culture and lifestyle of the Berber nomads. The video features highlights from previous adventures in this extraordinary landscape:

WITH SO MUCH OF MOROCCO’S TOURISM directed towards the Imperial cities, many of the country’s treasures remain undiscovered, ignored by guidebooks. Much of Morocco’s beauty is found along pathways connecting the mountain ranges that form the bulk of North Africa’s most visited country.

This privately organised adventure is exclusive to Fitness Adventures Midlands; please message for a full trip itinerary.

DATING BACK CENTURIES, MOROCCO IS A COUTRY OF INTRIGUE; an explosion of colour, tradition, soul and spice. Morocco conjures an image of ancient medinas, rolling deserts, blue painted hillside towns, appetising tagines and Berber men wrapped in blue turbans. Yet, beyond this, the diversity is extraordinary; towering peaks, landscape scenes from another world and hospitality that knows no bounds.

A FULLY QUALIFIED AND LICENSED AMAZIGH GUIDE leads our adventure. The Atlas Mountains are home to the Berber people; their real name is Amazigh, meaning 'free people'. We gain an insight into the life of these friendly people as we enjoy their culture, traditions and hospitality. You see traditional adobe villages where people live in ways unchanged for generations.

THE PRICE INCLUDES MOST MEALS on the trek with the Moroccan cuisine a highlight (see full trip description for minimal exclusions). All photographs that accompany this description were taken on our previous Jebel Saghro adventures.

OUR JOURNEY BEGINS AND ENDS in the vibrant imperial city of Marrakech, the spiritual heart of Morocco; a city like no other. Unravel the infamous Medina and Jemaa El-Fna, where you witness the true culture of Marrakech with street sellers, fire eaters and snake charmers.
