9 Day The Morocco Experience (over40s)

Your Moroccan escape begins with a warm airport welcome and a private transfer to a beautiful boutique riad tucked away in the heart of Marrakech's historic Medina. After settling in, meet your fellow travellers over a relaxed rooftop dinner overlooking the iconic Koutoubia Mosque - the perfect setting for new friendships to begin.

Ease into the day with a gentle rooftop yoga session as Marrakech wakes around you. Explore the city's colourful souks, visit the elegant Bahia Palace and wander through the peaceful Majorelle Garden with a local guide. Later, unwind with a traditional Moroccan hammam and spa ritual, leaving you refreshed for the evening ahead.

Today is about experiencing Marrakech at a slower pace.

Wander through hidden artisan boutiques tucked inside the medina before spending the afternoon at a women-led argan oil cooperative, where you'll discover how Morocco's famous "liquid gold" is traditionally made by hand.

Crack argan nuts, learn the centuries-old pressing techniques, taste culinary argan oil with traditional mint tea, and create your own natural argan beauty oil to take home as a meaningful keepsake.
