North Morocco Adventure - Digital Detox
Overview
Highlights
- Widely regarded as Morocco's holiest place, overnight visits to Moulay Idriss were prohibited to non-Muslims until 2005. Experience a homestay with a charming local family; if you’re lucky, you might even get an invite to a cooking demonstration by the ladies of the house
- Enjoy the vivid blue houses of Chefchaouen with your eyes, not through the viewfinder of your camera
- Relive a glorious medieval past in Fes city. While many tourists get lost in the labyrinthine streets of the medina, you'll have a local guide to show you the way
- Literally translated, Morocco's grand capital of Rabat means ‘fortified palace’. The botanical gardens are a lovely place to relax, sip a mint tea and reconnect with the world around you
- Need a break from your wanders around the narrow streets of Meknes? Replenish your energy with the ideal hump-day treat: a camel burger cooked right in front of you at a restaurant in the medina
- Where else would you find drummers, dancers, fortune tellers, jugglers and old medicine men in one place? Marrakech is the perfect place to share a final group meal and stock up on treasures in the city's colourful souqs

Salaam Aleikum! Say hello to Morocco, and goodbye to your phone, tablet, camera and laptop. Your Digital Detox begins with a welcome meeting at the hotel at 6 pm today, where we’ll be collecting your insurance details and next of kin info – please ensure you have al...
It’s an early start today (you might like to book an old-fashioned wake-up call!) as we take a one-hour train ride to the historical town of Rabat. Rabat's history is long and colourful, having been host to Roman settlements, pirates and, more recently, the Moroccan p...
Enjoy a tour of the archaeological site of Volubilis with a local guide; the World Heritage-listed site was one of the Roman Empire's most remote bases. The remains make an impressive sight as they come into view on the edge of a long, high plateau. Don’t forget to pa...
Today take a guided walk around Fes, discovering the labyrinth of the medina, a living monument to an ancient past and still very much alive with craftsmen, markets, tanneries and mosques. Look out for the Medersa Bou Inania, one of the city's most beautiful buildings...
While you might be used to spending long-ish bus trips listening to podcasts or scrolling through Facebook, pass the four-hour journey to Chefchaouen (aka the Blue City) soaking up the scenery as it whizzes by. Chefchaouen, set against a wide valley and surrounded by ...
Today is a free day to explore Chefchaouen. Perhaps take a guided tour of the medina, admire the architecture of the 15th-century Grand Mosque (closed to non-Muslims) and browse the shops in the square selling woven goods and sweet treats. Also within the plaza is t...
Rally the troops for a game of I-Spy on the three-hour bus trip to Tangier, a place of strategic importance to the Mediterranean and the gateway to Africa. Once a hotspot for artists, secret agents and millionaires, Tangier has recently undergone something of a renai...
Arrive early into Marrakech, a true feast for the senses, where the day is yours to explore. Perhaps stroll the Medina and the city's seemingly endless mosaic of souqs, each of which is devoted to a separate trade: pottery, woodwork, copper, leather, carpets and spice...
Your Digital Detox comes to an end. There are no activities planned for the final day – other than exchanging email addresses, friending your fellow travelling pals on Facebook and sharing Instagram names – and you are free to check out of your accommodation at any time.

The Intrepid Travel Experience
If you’re looking for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. For the past 25 years, we’ve been taking small groups of travelers on unforgettable trips around the world. What makes them unforgettable? Take a look for yourself and discover the Intrepid experience.
Our travelers have three styles of tour to choose from: Basix, Original and Comfort. Each has a different level of inclusions and accommodation, but all have unforgettable real life experiences as part of the package. Travellers can also choose themed trips, such as Family, Sailing or Food, to suit their interests.
Our group size has an average of just ten travellers, which allows us to get off the beaten track, use local accommodation and transport, and really get to know the culture. It also ensures we are contributing to the local economy; by choosing local suppliers we were able to keep AUD 60 million in local economies in 2012. We’re also working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and were the first in our sector to introduce carbon offset trips. This, along with our many corporate sustainability activities, has meant we’re one of the travel industry’s leaders in responsible travel.
Why Intrepid?
- Small groups - average of 10 people per trip
- Sustainability - pioneers for the industry
- Local leaders - authentic perspectives
- Local transport - get close and personal
- Local accommodation - experience real living
- Intrepid travelers - like-minded companions
