Hello Happy People!
My name is Said, I grew up in Beirut where I studied and graduated as an interior designer in 2009. I took my first overseas trip when I was 20 years old. This trip led me to France where I stayed for 3 years to do a Masters in interior design. It was the first of many steps that made me discover a passion towards traveling, wandering in unknown places, engaging in conversation with strangers, and making worldwide friends!
With every new trip I took, I gained a deeper understanding that the charm and beauty of every journey are not limited to visiting known landmarks or touristic places, but are also and more importantly found in the small things you experience along the way: from getting lost walking in a new city to taking life lessons from a stranger, sitting back for hours watching people and cars moving, or staying up all night with people you just met waiting for the sunrise… These unique moments are what transforms a trip into a story worth telling.
Join me in Morocco!
From the moment you land in Marrakech, the journey is a whirlwind of spice markets, mountain air, ancient ruins, and coastal charm. One day you’re learning to cook traditional dishes with a Berber family in the Atlas Mountains, and the next you’re exploring the Roman mosaics at Volubilis or tasting olives, cheeses, and regional wines on a food tour in Meknes. You’ll wander the labyrinthine medina of Fes with a local guide, marvel at the centuries-old Chouara Tannery, and relax in a classic Moroccan hammam spa. There’s time to sample street food in Marrakech, enjoy a seafood lunch by the sea in El Jadida, and unwind in beautiful riads with friends old and new. It’s all about new experiences, cultural deep-dives, and those spontaneous moments that turn into the best stories — plus plenty of time to relax and recharge in inspiring settings.
Touch down in Marrakech, where the adventure begins as you glide through Menara Airport and step into the city’s kaleidoscope of colors, scents, and sounds. After meeting your driver, you’ll be whisked away to your riad, a traditional Moroccan guesthouse set in the heart of the Medina. Take a moment to soak in the intricate tilework and peaceful courtyards before enjoying some free time to wander the ancient streets or simply unwind. As the sun sets, gather with the group for a lively buffet dinner at the riad, complete with an open bar, setting the tone for an unforgettable week ahead.
Wake up to a classic Moroccan breakfast in the riad before heading out to the majestic Atlas Mountains. Here, you’ll join a local Berber family for a hands-on cooking class, learning the secrets behind Morocco’s most beloved dishes while surrounded by mountain vistas. After lunch, return to Marrakech and dive into the bustling Medina for an afternoon street food tour, sampling everything from sizzling skewers to sweet pastries. End the evening back at the riad, savoring dinner and sharing stories from the day.
Enjoy a final breakfast at the riad before checking out and embarking on a scenic transfer to Fes, Morocco’s spiritual and cultural capital. After settling into your new riad, the rest of the day is yours to explore at your own pace. You can lose yourself in Fes’ labyrinthine streets, discover hidden artisan shops, or simply relax and recharge for the adventures ahead.
Start your morning with breakfast at the riad, then set out on a guided tour through Fes’s storied past. Marvel at the architectural wonders of Bou Inania and Al-Attarine madrasas, witness the centuries-old craft of leather tanning at Chouara Tannery, and wander the vibrant souks overflowing with spices, textiles, and treasures. In the afternoon, embark on a food tasting excursion, sampling the city’s unique flavors and culinary traditions. The evening is free for you to discover Fes by night or relax at the riad.
Fuel up with breakfast before transferring to Meknes, one of Morocco’s imperial cities. Explore the grand Bab Mansour gate, the tranquil Sahrij Swani basin, and the atmospheric old medina. Dive into Meknes’s culinary scene with a food tour featuring local olives, cheeses, and regional wines. Next, journey to the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, where mosaics and columns tell stories of a bygone empire. Return to Fes for a free night to reflect on the day’s discoveries.
After breakfast and check-out, travel to the coastal town of El Jadida, famed for its Portuguese heritage. Savor a seafood lunch at a waterfront restaurant, then wander the historic Medina and descend into the hauntingly beautiful Portuguese Cistern. In the afternoon, transfer back to Marrakech and check in at your riad. The evening is yours to relax, explore, or prepare for the journey’s grand finale.
Enjoy a final breakfast at the riad, soaking in the last moments of Moroccan hospitality and ambiance. After checkout, join your group transfer to Marrakech Menara Airport, hearts full of memories and cameras full of vibrant snapshots, as this epic Moroccan adventure comes to a close.
