Active Morocco: Rif Mountains
Craving an adventure that balances Morocco’s iconic highlights with hidden treasures? This nine-day active journey through the imperial cities and the stunning Rif Mountains is calling your name. Hike to unforgettable spots like Gite Monte Blanco in Tetouan, wander the picturesque Ouad El Kennar trail, and explore the striking Cathédrale Imsfrane. Get hands-on in the mountains with a goat cheese-making experience, then dive into the vibrant energy of Fés’ legendary medina. With a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and downtime, this trip reveals Morocco's magic in ways you never imagined.
Highlights
Enjoy a guided hike to Gite Monte Blanco and have a picnic lunch overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Learn about the deep history of the city of Tetouane on a walking tour of its most important landmarks, Hike through the stunning scenery of the Rif Mountains and participate in a goat cheese making activity with a local farming family, Wander through the gorgeous scenery of the famous ‘Blue City’ of Morocco on a walking tour with your CEO
Accomodation
On this trip you can expect to stay in local hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. Where a town has both an ancient medina and a "ville nouvelle" we generally stay in the ville nouvelle, both because the standard of hotels is higher, and because travellers (especially women) often find the medinas at night a little confronting.
Please note that Morocco is a developing country and as such the infrastructure is not as reliable as you would expect at home. Expect quirky plumbing and the odd cold shower!
Group Leader
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders, otherwise known as a Chief Experience Officer (CEO). As the group coordinator and manager, the aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. You can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of Morocco, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. They will also offer suggestions for things to do and to see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends.
We also use certified local city guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it's the best of both worlds.
