Mysterious Morocco Photo Tour

What People Are Saying About Us

Don’t just take it from us, let our participants do the talking!

We explore the magical country of Morocco and unfold its mystery with travelling across the country from cities like Casablanca, Fes , the blue city of Chefchaouen and across to the stunning Sahara desert. We discover the hidden treasures of the chaotic markets to the stunning landscapes that the country has to offer. Discovering bazaars, mosques , meeting the Berber families living in the high Atlas Mountains and diving in to their life and culture only to end up in the ever so famous Marrakech visiting spice markets, while we see snake charmers acrobats and story tellers and indulging in traditional Moroccan rituals to wind up our trip.

Our tour will capture elements of “people and place“. Shifting sand dunes to daily scenes of village life and the colourful fest of the markets will be the highlight. Landscape and portrait photography at its perfect balance with a cultural experience to take back memories.
