Journey Through Northern Morocco: A Tapestry of Culture & History

This 9-day adventure through Northern Morocco is not just about traveling—it’s about experiencing Morocco through local eyes. At LocalXperience, we go beyond sightseeing, creating real connections with the people, culture, and landscapes that make this region so unique.

From the ancient streets of Fez, where history awaits in every alley, to the hidden mountain trails of Chefchaouen, and the untouched Mediterranean coast, this trip is a journey through the heart and soul of Northern Morocco.

Walk through the oldest Medina in the world, guided by a local, taste traditional dishes in family-run kitchens, and explore Meknes, one of Morocco’s imperial cities. Venture into the Rif Mountains, where life moves at a slower pace, and hike through national parks filled with breathtaking views—and maybe even a few Barbary macaques watching from the trees!

We’ll spend time soaking in Chefchaouen’s blue magic, uncovering the untouched beauty of Morocco’s northern landscapes, and sharing special moments with locals along the way. Then, we escape to the Mediterranean coast, where hidden beaches and charming fishing villages offer the perfect place to reflect on our journey.

Expect surprises, unforgettable encounters, and the kind of moments you can’t plan—Because we believe that’s what makes travel truly special.

Two tour guides will accompany this journey to make sure you get the most out of this adventure. 🌍✨
