Moroccan Adventure.. Just4You..
This Singles holiday in Morocco is especially for those of you with a sense of adventure. We have put together a magical Moroccan adventure with a taste of everything; the bustling city of Marrakech, the simple Berber lifestyle in the mountains and the lovely seaside fishing village, old port and beach resort of Essaouira. Although not specifically aimed at photographers, Steve will be on hand to advise any of you on how to get the most out of your camera and take some great shots.
Red mud-baked Kasbahs beneath the stunning Atlas mountains. Seething souks; lively bazaars; vibrant colours; wonderful smells and exotic experiences; nowhere is as fascinating and bewildering as Morocco, a country full of contrasting images and sights. Morocco offers an exciting, enchanting, uniquely African experience less than 4 hours flying time from the UK.
Marrakech
We fly to Marrakech and spend two nights Half Board in a traditionally-designed but newly-built Riad with swimming pool, a few kilometres outside of Marrakech with en suite rooms. Riad M'Hidou has a swimming pool and is a peaceful haven. During the day we will organise a trip into the bustling city of Marrakech, and take a look around the souks, bazaars and market stalls in the Medina. We will marvel at the story-tellers, colourful water sellers, the snake charmers and acrobats before returning for a dip in the pool and our evening meal in the peace and tranquillity of our Riad (2 nights Half Board).
Berber village life
We then transfer to the foothills of the High Atlas mountains and stay in a Gite (village house) with a local family. Here the accommodation will be shared and basic. We will see how other people live in the world. The welcome is wonderful and hospitable. You will need to bring sleeping bags. All our food is prepared for us by our hosts and is freshly-made from local produce. Vegetarians, as well as meat eaters, can enjoy the traditional tajines (meat, fish or vegetable dishes cooked in traditional conical-shaped pots), couscous, salads, rice as well as great soups and fresh fruits (2 nights Full Board).
Gifts for the Berber children
When we stay in the Berber village we have arranged an opportunity to give some small gifts to the children of the village. You can bring some children's clothes that are no longer required or some pens, pencils and paper for use in the school. (Most children go to school, except around harvest time, when they are needed in the fields.)
Essaouira
The Singles Holiday adventure in Morocco continues when we visit the old port and fishing village of Essaouira, once the base for pirates, and in the 60s a hippy hangout and favourite of Jimi Hendrix. Essaouira is now a great place to explore the narrow streets or enjoy the wide sandy beach. The resort welcomes visitors, many Moroccans holiday there. This is a far cry from the more touristy beach resorts. From here we take a trip out to Sidi Kaouaki for a camel ride (2 nights B&B).
The Mystery and Magic of Marrakech
For the last night of our Singles Holiday in Morocco we return to the magic of Marrakech. This time we will stay in a Riad right in the heart of the old city (Medina) of Marrakech and have a last chance to haggle for treasures from the souks. The rooms in the Riad are arranged around a courtyard. All the rooms are en suite. The food in the Riad is superb and the buffet breakfast offers a wide choice of hot and cold options. Sadly this will be our last night before our departure the following day (1 night Half Board).
