0908: Morocco Trek & Sights
Activity: Hiking
Status: FULL
 
Leave winter behind for a 90-mile supported hiking trek across the Anti-Atlas range in sunny Morocco. Fly Air France via Paris to Casablanca; ride the Marrakech Express. After touring legendary Marrakech, we head south over the High Atlas to our trek from the Draa Valley to the Dades. For 9 days of temperate days and cool nights, a crew sets up tents, prepares our meals (even lunch!), and tends the mules carrying all gear except our day packs. Afterward, we head to Essaouira, an Atlantic seaside gem where we savor the relaxed atmosphere, walk on the beach and ramparts, and explore the harbor and artisan shops of the souk. Bargain price of $2,300 includes international airfare from Boston (other Air France gateways possible); fully supported trek with all meals; lodging & breakfasts in towns; in-country train, buses, vans.
