Further information - Walking Holidays in Morocco
With such a variety of tantalising and spectacular landscapes, the friendliness of the Berber people, a wealth of history, culture and outlandish Moorish architecture it's little wonder more and more people want to experience Morocco.
From vibrant Marrakech to the summits of the High Atlas Mountains, the dunes of the Sahara to the lush valleys of the Rif, the 'other world' landscapes of Jebel Sahro to the lesser trekked verdant Western Atlas and the sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast, Morocco is not only our foremost destination, you could say it's also our spiritual home too.
Here at Walks Worldwide we have over 25 years of knowledge and experience of walking and travelling in Morocco and can justifiably claim to be THE WALKING HOLIDAY EXPERTS to this exotic part of North Africa.
Walks Worldwide founder, Mike Wynne, pioneered Morocco as a walking adventure destination long before most other companies jumped on the bandwagon. His vast knowledge and experience of Morocco is, along with unique friendships with the local people developed over the years, second to none in this industry. Mike has also been a contributor to various guidebooks published on Morocco.
In fact 75% of our sales staff have summited Toubkal (in summer, winter and even with a mountain bike!), as well as travelling far and beyond to explore lesser-trekked areas to bring you a delectable selection of walking adventures, most of which can be enjoyed all year round.
Whilst most first-time visitors to Morocco are drawn by the allure and challenge of climbing Toubkal (North Africa's highest mountain), in the High Atlas, there is so much more to Morocco. Our unrivalled 2009 portfolio of walking holidays to Morocco brings you a wide variety of stimulating and discerning walking adventures to this diverse country, off the beaten track.
Walks Worldwide. The No.1 choice for walking holidays in Morocco.
Bespoke Morocco
With our wealth of both travelling and operating walking holiday adventures to Morocco, we are always delighted to use this knowledge to create an even more special experience for you in this amazing country.
All of our non-group walking holidays can be personalised, maybe to include a rest day amongst ideal surroundings, go just that little bit further, see a little more, or occasionally a little less. You can be assured that we will go that little further for you too, so you can enjoy Morocco exactly how you want to.
In fact the vast majority of clients that travel with us on our non-group walking holidays do exactly that. Perhaps you would prefer to upgrade to a Riad in Marrakech, or stay at the Kasbah du Toubkal if passing through Imlil, or would like a hotel in Oukaimeden instead of a hostel where these are not part of the standard itinerary. Well, more often than not, these things can be changed to suit. Just give us a call to discuss what is possible to make any particular itinerary you are interested in even better. Even if you are joining one of our scheduled group departures to climb Toubkal and would simply like to visit the coast, or have more time in Marrakech before or after your trip, we can help.
Of course, if you are looking for something a bit extra special, like a full-on expedition for a private group across the entire High Atlas or a region that is not already covered in our brochure, we would be delighted to help put this together for you too.
Take advantage of our knowledge and experience and let us help you get the very best out of your holiday to exotic Morocco.
Flights to Morocco
With online booking technology direct with airlines being widely available and common practice, it is now easier than ever to book flights to Morocco.
There are several low cost airlines operating flights to Morocco, from a number of UK regional airports and we have listed the most significant of these below. Booking direct, online, with one of these airlines is usually the cheapest and easiest way to fly to Morocco. You will find up-to-date prices and flight schedules on the various airlines websites.
To reflect this trend, the majority of our holidays to Morocco are priced as 'land only' (i.e not inclusive of international flights), so that you can take advantage of the low cost fares and regional departures available by booking your own flights with your chosen airline. Please note that online flight bookings usually must be paid in full at the time of booking and are non-refundable.
Flights operating between Morocco and the UK (at the time of writing) are shown in the table below.
Flights with these airlines may not always be daily and fit with your chosen holiday itinerary. You may require extra nights at the start/end of your chosen holiday. We will gladly arrange extra hotel nights for you if required. For anyone who would prefer not book their own flights we are happy to arrange flights for any of our trips to Morocco, using the scheduled services of Royal Air Maroc from London Heathrow, with whom we have special arrangements.
