Community Projects, Berber Cultural Immersion, Atlas and Sahara Desert Tours & Treks, Camel ride with overnight at the nomadic tents at the dunes, and imperial cities sightseeing,
Morocco is a captivating land where majestic minarets tower over spice-scented souks and soaring mountains give way to date palm oases and desert dunes. Explore the enchanting city and markets of Marrakech, then venture into the High Atlas Mountains to work with indigenous Berber communities on projects that promote sustainable development and preserve local culture, history, and language.

Review completed by Sue Russell, Expedition Leader of Central Yorkshire Scout Expedition Visit from 24th July to 9th August 2024 Group of 42 15- to 18-year-olds and 16 adult leaders From our first arrival at the camp in the walnut grove, we were amazed and impressed by the camp site. It had great facilities that made it easy for us to camp there including the following: sinks with hot running water, toilets and showers. The site had enough space for over 60 people with camping in Berber tents to suit our requirements. On the upper terrace were the toilet and shower facilities and the leaders' sleeping area including storage tent for equipment. On the middle terrace were the Berber tents for the young people and on the lower terrace was the restaurant area (under cover) with enough seating for over 60 people as required. The lower terrace also had a washing line and a seating and relaxing area plus a bread oven. The site is in a wonderful environment in the walnut grove with sufficient shade for the summer and in very close proximity to Imlil, the waterfalls and paths leading to Aroumd and beyond to Mount Toubkal. We enjoyed a few acclimatisation walks around the area and into Imlil to explore the shops. Read more |
