Accommodation

As we make our way through the Anti-Atlas peaks, we spend our nights wild camping, while our first night is spent in a hotel in Agadir and our final night is at a riad in Taroudant.



Agadir: Oasis Hotel & Spa (night 1)







We begin our adventure at the Oasis in Agadir, where there’s a sandy beach and promenade within walking distance. The city centre is close too, for restaurants, cafes and markets. The hotel itself has a pool area with loungers, a bar, and a gym with plenty of machines.



Wild camping: (nights 2-6)







Our camping nights are a truly wild experience, as we sleep under the Moroccan sky, cradled by the Anti-Atlas Mountains. To make the experience a little more comfortable (while saving energy for the walks), the crew will go ahead of the group and set up our campsites. There is a toilet tent and larger tents for eating inside if the weather is not suitable for al fresco dining.



Taroudant: Riad Hotel l'Arganier d'Or (night 7)







Built in 1992 on an orange farm, this riad is in the traditional Moroccan style. There's a swimming pool, plus a patio and garden where you can relax with your new-found friends and chat about your adventure together.



Worth knowing



Camping on this trip is always full service but in wild camps – official campsites do not exist in the areas we visit. Wild camping means there are no wash facilities or a toilet block. A basic toilet tent is put up at each camp. All camp chores are done for you, including building and dismantling your tent, cooking and washing up. A table and chairs are also provided for mealtimes.

Food

All breakfasts, five lunches and five dinners are included on this trip.



Moroccan food is, generally speaking, excellent though not very varied. For meals not included, budget for the following approximate prices.



Lunches: 60-100 dirhams (US$6-US$10)

In cities: 80-200 dirhams (US$8-US$19)

In small towns and villages: 60-100 dirhams (US$6-US$10)

Beer: 30-50 dirham (US$2.85-US$5)

Where meals are included on the trek, expect the following to be catered.



Breakfast is likely to consist of a variety of breads with jam and other condiments plus tea and coffee, and porridge.



Lunch is usually plenty of salads, plus a hot dish and vegetables. Dinner is usually a variety of dishes that includes seasonal fruit and vegetables plus some meat and tinned fish and various rice, lentil and bean dishes. The choice tends to be large, so there is usually something for everyone. It is certainly not limited to cous cous and tagine and is often commented as a highlight of the trip.



Vegetarians can be catered for and there is usually a variety of bean/pulse dishes plus omelettes and vegetables. Please note, if you have special dietary requirements you should inform your sales representative prior to the trip. If you have a specific medical/dietary need (ie coeliac or vegan) you may find it helpful to bring some food items from home.



Drinking water



For the camping part of the trip, the leader will collect a small amount of money (around 40 dirhams) to purchase several large water containers from which you can refill your bottle. While individual water bottles can be purchased at the beginning of the trip, we strongly encourage you not to buy bottled water as this contributes to the growing problem of plastic pollution in Morocco.
