Skoura

Journey With Us!

13-22 February 2025

Join us for a creative and adventurous stay in Morocco where we’ll be journeying together for 9 nights, 10 days. We’re starting off in Marrakech and then into the Agafay desert where we’ll have a unique experience staying in eco-luxurious tents at a luxury desert camp. Well then head east over the Atlas Mountains, reaching the summit of Tizi n'Tichka, the highest major mountain pass in North Africa. We’ll be experiencing the artisan wonder and hospitality in the palm oasis of Skoura staying at a gorgeous private luxury 4 star boutique hotel for two nights. We’ll go further into the Draa Valley to Tisselday immersing ourselves in local craftsmanship. Afterwards, we’ll be making our way back staying in Ouarzazate passing by the photogenic and historical Aït-Ben-Haddou before a final night back in Marrakech.

The entire journey will be immersive, cultural and pushing you beyond your comfort zone, which is very much the natural tendency when visiting Morocco. You’ll witness the beautiful diversity the country has to offer from the bustling Medina of Marrakech, a culturally renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the rural village roads as we tour the outer regions of the desert.

We have designed a unique itinerary that will introduce you to the real Morocco exploring both urban and rural environments with a wide array of local perspectives guiding your hands-on experience. All accommodations, meals and transit are included in the itinerary, to keep things stress free. Below are some highlights of the itinerary we offer. If you have any questions, just contact us and we’ll prepare you with everything you need to know to make this incredible journey happen.

Experiential Itinerary


HANDS—ON CRAFT

Crafting traditions are a window to the culture and soul of a country. On our journey you’ll be introduced to many local artisans who produce a variety of goods from textiles and pottery to basketry and henna. You’ll be able to get hands-on and have a go yourself, whilst intimately connecting to the cultural experience passed from generations.

 

BOUTIQUE STAYS

From traditional Moroccan riads and ancient earth-built kasbahs to tented desert camps, we’ll be staying at a variety of luxury boutique accommodations whilst journeying through the country. Each stay is design-led with its intrinsic beauty that is equipped with comfortable beds, refreshing showers and plenty of space for scenic views and private reflection.

SENSORY EXPERIENCES

Morocco is an enchanting place unlike any other. With a unique fusion of African, Arabic and European influences, the country welcomes you with a glorious array of vibrant colours and dazzling scents. From natural dyeing in the souks to cooking classes in an oasis, you'll be out there exploring and satisfying all curiosity and senses.

 

LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS

Get to know the creatives shaking things up, whether its a local textile designer or art curator exploring modern Moroccan identity through mixed media platforms. We’ll connect you with the leading inspirations of global culture and authenticity that are sowing seeds and building relationships for a brighter future.

HIDDEN GEMS

After years of research and travel throughout Morocco, we have put together a colourful black book filled with all our favourite local gems, many of which you won’t find another tourist nearby. We’ll share the joy and excitement these deeply enriching places bring us; expect roadside basket stands, covetable vintage spots tucked away in the mountains and weaving co-ops packed to the brim with inspiration. 

 

DESERT GLAMPING

In the Agafay Desert, peacefully isolated from the connected world, we’ll sleep under a blanket drenched by the Milky Way stars. Rest and relax amongst the serene landscape and enjoy a sensational three-course dinner that will be followed by music around the campfire.  All eco-luxury tents come with a private bathroom, shower, wood-burning fireplace and free toiletries to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our trips are for travellers curiously and creatively inquisitive with an adventurous spirit who are active and ready to step outside their comfort zone.

    To maximise your time in Morocco, our itineraries involve moving both inside cities and between cities in the country. Major urban cities are not completely representative of a country. So our trips involve immersing you both in urban areas as well as very rural communities.

    Each of our trip itineraries are designed for an intimate exploration of culture, craft and culinary delights. The experiences we’ve curated are hands-on and immersive. There is free time built into the schedule, but expect each day to be filled with wonderous journeying from breakfast through dinner. So if you love trying new things and are excited by learning different ways of life, this trip is for you.

  • On all of our trips there will be lots of walking, standing and moving sometimes in very high temperatures on uneven roads, rural terrain and fast-paced urban centres. At any given time, you could be negotiating a roadway with cars, trucks, motorbikes, crowds of people, donkeys and camels (or all of the above simultaneously).

    Travellers should be willing and able to walk approximately 4 miles in a day as well as being able to walk up and down narrow staircases (sometimes without the aid of a handrail). Elevators and escalators are not present in the places we visit or stay at. On one day, our mode of transportation between activities are tuk-tuks, which can be a little bumpy on the gravelled rural road.

    If you have any questions, concerns, mobility issues or recently had surgery, please contact us at hello@majesticdisordertravels.com prior to booking.

  • Our travellers come from all walks of life from all over the globe. Despite this diverse background, you will find the group you are travelling with is very much a like-minded community with many shared interests, passions and careers. If you’re a solo traveller who does not want to travel solo, you will find a very interesting group of people to travel with on our trips.

    At each of our accommodations, rooms can be configured to two beds or one bed. Solo travellers will be paired with another solo traveller of the same gender. The option of booking a private single room where you are the only one staying in the room throughout the trip is available with a supplementary cost, whilst supplies last.

    Whether you’re travelling with friends, family, your partner or solo - the group starts off as strangers and by the end of the trip becomes like a family. We’ve had travellers who established business connections after meeting on a trip, others who became such good friends they began living together afterwards and many have gone on to travel together again both elsewhere and back on another trip with majestic disorder travels.

  • The accommodations we stay at throughout the trip are boutique, which is representative of the travel experience we offer. We prioritise location, character, charm, customer service and being locally-owned.

    Our trips are about authenticity, so the places we stay at should embody that experience. Our trips are not high-end luxury, but they are not budget either. Boutique is a sweet spot that encompasses design, individuality and affordability.

    We do not stay at corporate chains nor do we stay at hostels. None of our accommodations have fitness or business centres. Some have pools and air conditioning units, others do not.

    To fully immerse in traditional and historical Morocco, we have a short stay at a kasbah made from the earth. This accommodation can be dusty, but it has the luxury of a pool and many relaxing nooks for rest.

  • You should arrive in Marrakech, Morocco at the Marrakech airport (airport code RAK) on the day our trip begins. Schedule your flight to arrive in the morning or early afternoon. Our trip begins at approximately 18:30 with a rooftop welcome drink and then we walk to dinner.

  • You can most certainly extend your trip by arriving before our trip begins or staying in Morocco longer after our trip ends.

    Whether your extension is for 1-night or week(s), for an additional fee, we can plan this extension for you, which will be customised to your needs.

    Any extension planning request should be submitted to us at the earliest convenience, ideally 60 days before the start of your trip, as accommodations book up fast and our small team are very busy especially during peak season.
