    OVERVIEW

Along the way, we’ll create intentional space to pause, reflect and connect—embracing the spirit of Selah amidst one of the world’s most captivating cultures.

    Today we bid farewell to the ancient city of Fez and journey south towards the edge of the Sahara Desert. Travelling through the spectacular landscapes of the Middle Atlas Mountains, we experience a dramatic change in scenery as fertile farmland gives way to cedar forests, rugged mountain passes and vast desert plains.
    We pass through the charming alpine town of Ifrane, often referred to as the "Switzerland of Morocco" for its European-style architecture, immaculate gardens and cool mountain climate. We then continue through the cedar forests near Azrou, where there is an opportunity to see the playful Barbary macaques that inhabit the region.
    After lunch (own expense) in the market town of Midelt, nestled between the Middle and High Atlas Mountains and renowned for its apple orchards, we continue south through the breathtaking Ziz Valley. Here, thousands of date palms line the oasis below, creating one of Morocco's most spectacular desert landscapes. We pause at a panoramic viewpoint to take in this unforgettable vista before continuing our journey.
    By late afternoon we arrive in Erfoud, the gateway to the Sahara Desert and a town famous for its ancient marine fossils and date harvests. Enjoy dinner and prepare for tomorrow's unforgettable desert adventure.

    Today promises to be one of the highlights of our Moroccan journey as we venture into the spectacular Erg Chebbi sand dunes on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Travelling by 4WD, we explore this ever-changing landscape of golden dunes, stopping to admire the vast desert scenery and learn about the unique environment and the Berber people who have called this region home for centuries.
    We visit the nearby desert town of Rissani, once the historic capital of the Tafilalt region and an important trading centre on the ancient caravan routes. Here we experience a taste of authentic southern Morocco, wandering through its traditional market and gaining an insight into local desert life.
    This afternoon there is the opportunity to enjoy a memorable camel ride across the dunes, experiencing the timeless rhythm of desert travel as generations have done before us. As the sun begins to set, we pause atop the dunes to enjoy refreshments while watching the Sahara transform into a breathtaking palette of gold, orange and crimson—a truly unforgettable experience.

    Here we enjoy a unique farm-to-table experience, meeting local producers and discovering how life flourishes in the oasis. We sample a selection of regional specialities, including freshly harvested dates, traditional breads, olives, almonds, seasonal fruits and fragrant mint tea, while learning about the ingenious irrigation systems that have sustained these communities for centuries.
    Continuing our journey, we arrive at the spectacular Todra Gorge, where towering limestone cliffs rise more than 300 metres above the valley floor. There is time to stroll through this breathtaking natural wonder and admire one of Morocco's most impressive landscapes.
    This afternoon we travel along the famous Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, passing ancient fortified villages and dramatic desert scenery before arriving in Ouarzazate, often referred to as the "Gateway to the Sahara." After checking into our hotel, we enjoy dinner and our overnight stay.

    After several days of discovery and adventure, we pause to embrace the heart of what Selah is all about—creating space to rest, reflect and reconnect with God.
    Set against the peaceful backdrop of southern Morocco, these two days are intentionally unhurried. Led by your Christian tour leader, we will share a series of optional devotional reflections, guided prayer experiences and times of quiet contemplation, providing an opportunity to process all that we have seen and experienced throughout our journey.
    There will also be ample free time to simply relax by the pool, enjoy the hotel gardens or find a quiet place to read, journal and recharge.
    For those who would like to explore further, a range of optional experiences will be available, including:
    • A hands-on Moroccan cooking class, learning to prepare traditional tagines and local delicacies.
    • A guided cycling excursion through nearby villages and palm groves.
    • A traditional Moroccan hammam experience, offering a relaxing steam bath and spa treatment.
    • A visit to a local artisan cooperative or nearby kasbah.

    This morning we farewell Ouarzazate and begin our journey across the spectacular High Atlas Mountains towards the vibrant city of Marrakech.
    Our first stop is the remarkable Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Morocco's most iconic fortified villages (ksars). Built from traditional earthen clay, this ancient settlement has stood for centuries along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech. We take time to wander its narrow alleyways, climb to the hilltop granary for panoramic views, and discover why it has featured in numerous films and television productions, including Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven and Game of Thrones.
    Continuing our journey, we cross the dramatic Tizi n'Tichka Pass (2,260 metres), the highest mountain pass in Morocco. Along the way we enjoy breathtaking views of rugged peaks, Berber villages clinging to the hillsides, and ever-changing mountain landscapes.
    Arriving in Marrakech later this afternoon, we check into our hotel before enjoying dinner together and preparing to discover Morocco's legendary "Red City" over the coming days.

Our morning begins with a guided exploration of the city's historic Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where maze-like laneways reveal bustling souks filled with spices, textiles, ceramics, leather goods and the work of skilled local artisans.
    We continue to the vibrant Jemaa el-Fnaa square, the beating heart of Marrakech. By day, the square is alive with market stalls, orange juice vendors, storytellers and musicians, offering a fascinating glimpse into everyday Moroccan life.
    Later, we visit the beautiful Majorelle Garden, a tranquil oasis of exotic plants, fountains and the iconic cobalt-blue buildings created by French artist Jacques Majorelle and later lovingly restored by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. This peaceful sanctuary provides a welcome contrast to the lively streets of the medina.
    The afternoon offers time to browse the markets, relax at a café overlooking the square, or simply soak up the atmosphere before we gather this evening for a memorable dinner at a traditional Moroccan restaurant. Enjoy authentic local cuisine accompanied by warm Moroccan hospitality as we celebrate the wonderful experiences and friendships formed throughout our journey.

    This morning we farewell the vibrant city of Marrakech and travel west to the picturesque Atlantic coast and the charming seaside town of Essaouira, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its relaxed atmosphere, whitewashed buildings and historic Portuguese fortifications.

    Alternatively, take a leisurely walk along Essaouira's expansive sandy beach, relax at one of the many waterfront cafés, or simply soak up the fresh sea air and slower pace of this delightful coastal town.

Morocco's rich history, vibrant culture and warm hospitality leave us with memories that will last a lifetime.

    Tour reviews Expand

    Ballooning in Morocco was one of my many highlights on this tour.

    Being able to use the devotion booklet with readings and reflections, being able to take time to pause and pray in some of the churches;
    THE highlight: joining an English speaking service in Morocco and hearing afterwards from two of those "working" in that land.

    Loved the cooking class and the walks through the old towns.

    Loved getting to know each other and sharing of life’s journeys of each member of the group including the loss of spouses/children , medical diagnoses etc. This seems to be common with everyone of our tours with Selah and perhaps indicative of the stage of life participants are in presently . Praying for everyone regularly is a special time in these tours.

    It was good to have the devotional booklet Andrea had prepared so that it could be used in personal moments of quietness. It was also good to be able to meet Lauren (missionary) in Madrid, and worship with the local church.

    Fantastic , lovely local guide , interesting to talk to and get to know and enthusiastic about his job.

    Andrea was superb. Cannot speak more highly of her; personality, knowledge, Christian outlook and care, leadership, etc.

    Hard to balance the pace: at times the days seemed long, but if it was any slower we would not have seen so much. On balance, I think it was about right. And made for a great tour
