Group trip along the west coast of Morocco for women
How do you imagine a trip to Morocco? Historic cities, overwhelming scents and colors, or soft dune sand at sunset? In this group trip for women along the west coast of Morocco, we will discover many facets of a welcoming and magical country. Marrakech will be our gateway and will show us the historic and lively side of the country. We will then take time to understand the rhythms and spaces of Berber life. We will live a unique experience in a tent camp along the beach: stars, bonfires, and music will help us find harmony within the group and with ourselves.
We will challenge ourselves in different situations to shake up the routine and enrich ourselves with new emotions and awareness. We will explore the territory using all the means at our disposal: from slow walking in search of a waterfall to adventurous quad excursions on the dunes, up to the evocative horseback ride on the beach.
Even if you have never driven a scooter, even if you have never ridden a horse, you can try safe experiences suitable for all women who want to bring out their adventurous side.
Itinerary between Marrakech and Essaouira
Is Morocco safe for women? Our local human destination is Erika, who began exploring it alone in 2006, fell in love, and decided to stay. No one better than her can help us experience the local culture without fears or prejudices.
Together with Omar, he will guide us to discover the most authentic side of Morocco where families live, work, and grow with passion. They will welcome us to their Ranch, accompany us on excursions, and connect us with local families who will share their lifestyle with us.
Human Destination: your specialized agency for trips to Morocco
Between desert and ocean, we will be in close contact with a new, powerful nature that will gently touch our deepest sides, inviting them to come to light. We will find new friendships, exchange, and inspiration within the group, precious souvenirs to bring back with us.
Program
Day 1: Arrival and accommodation in Marrakech
Arrival in Marrakech in time to get familiar with this city full of life, traffic, noise, colors, smells, decorations, and so much to discover. This first day will be dedicated to exploring the city and getting to know the group. Lunch on your own, depending on arrival time. The group gathers at sunset, in front of a cup of tea on the terrace of the main square Jma el Fnaa to review the program, browse travel notebooks, and introduce themselves calmly. We all dine together in the center to immediately immerse ourselves in the local flavors. Overnight in a typical Riad.

After a nice breakfast, we will approach Essaouira by car, where we will have lunch on the Ouessen cliffs. From here we will start on foot, assisted by our guide, along a panoramic route of about 10 km made of rocky and sandy ups and downs. In the village of Sidi Kaouki we will take a refreshing break and then continue walking to a very long beach and then to the bivouac. At the end of this day, we will discover what typical Berber tents are like. A field shower awaits us, followed by a bonfire under a sea of stars and in front of the power of the sea.

Wake up here and now, in front of the powerful and energetic Ocean!
We leave the camp to visit the town of Essaouira with an official guide: the port, the ancient walls, the bastions with cannons aimed at the sea, the small old alleys. We will have lunch together in town. In the afternoon, a few hours of free time for shopping or relaxation, alone or in company. At 4:30 pm our driver will take us to the Ranch Diabat, where a quad bike excursion awaits us at sunset through the beach, the dunes, and a mimosa forest.

Today we will walk starting from a fishing village, along the cliffs feeling the energy of the ocean by our side. We will encounter semi-wild animals. The terrain will be varied: from the rock of the cliffs to the golden sandy dunes, passing through the dirt road made of ancient shells broken by the weather.
Packed lunch organized halfway through the walk. At the end of the walk, half a day by the pool for a well-deserved relaxation. Dinner at sunset at the hotel. It will be a day where we will have time to reflect, write, and imagine.

Day 6: 2-hour ride and return to Marrakech
This morning our teachers will be Arab-Berber horses. Some say they can read you inside and bring out those emotions you had forgotten or that were well hidden. They will lead us along the beach and will be patient even with those who have never ridden before.
It will be our way of saying goodbye to Essaouira before returning to Marrakech. A quick lunch on the road and then, once settled in the Riad, we will have time to lose ourselves in the bustling market full of life and artisans, either in a group or alone. Tonight for dinner we have chosen a special place, Les Jardin, to spend this evening together and bid farewell to this wonderful country.
