WHY MOROCCO?
The variety.
You’re sipping mint tea, with a beautiful spread of breakfast foods as the morning unfolds around you. Bright colors, warm air, street sounds, laughter, and the kind of energy that makes you feel instantly alive. That’s Morocco.
In 10 days you will visit big cities, small villages, mountains, valleys, a desert, an ocean, and everything in between.
You will meet Moroccans who preserve their culture and religion and those pushing to open it up. You’ll smell spices of all flavors. Taste breads, spreads, and olives that you’ve never tasted before.
Morocco will wow you.
It is also the kind of place women tell me they want to visit and would never book alone. Unfamiliar language, windy roads, and a culture that’s different than theirs.
Which is why you don't have to plan any of it. You just show up.
THE JOURNEY
Some notes:
Travel being what it is, itineraries occasionally shift for closures or weather. We roll with it and find something even better. Most days there will time available to wander on your own or have meals alone if you choose! [Solo travelers, I see you!]
P.S. During long drives, we will be stopping every 1.5-2 hours for a bathroom break, a site visit, or for a special stop :)
Ten days, mapped with care
-
You will arrive in Tangier at your leisure. Hop in a taxi or let me pre-arrange a private driver to whisk you to the gorgeous ocean-side hotel.
Settle in, breathe, stretch, and shake off the jet lag. You’ll have time to grab lunch, sip something refreshing, take a dip in the pool or ocean, head to the spa, wander the neighborhood, or simply rest before the adventure truly begins.
In the early evening, we’ll come together for a tour briefing. You’ll get to meet our guide, practice a little Darija (Moroccan’s Arabic language), get a money lesson, and get an overview of our time together.
As the sun begins to set, we’ll share our very first dinner together, a warm and flavorful 3-course Moroccan meal, before Alyssa leads an Intention Setting Workshop. This is your moment to slow down, tune in and plant the seeds for what you want to experience throughout this trip.
Meals included: Dinner
Accommodation: Barcelo Hotel, Tangier
-
After breakfast, we’ll take a guided walking tour of Tangier’s port and medina. We will duck into some beautiful caves for a breath of ocean air.
We then begin our scenic drive to the dreamy mountain town of Chefchaouen, also known as the Blue Pearl. As the landscape shifts and the blue hues begin to appear, you’ll feel the energy soften. There is something about this town that instantly slows your heartbeat and opens your senses.
Once we arrive and check into our hotel, the evening is ours to explore…
Stroll through the main square with its gentle music, glowing lanterns and painted walls, or take the path up the hillside for one of the most breathtaking sunsets you will ever witness. It’s the perfect slow and spacious evening to let the magic of Morocco start sinking in.
Return to our riad for a 3-course dinner.
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
Accommodation: Riad Dar Nomads, Chefchaouen
-
This morning we’ll step into the winding blue alleys of Chefchaouen for a guided walking tour. Get the most delicious orange juice or coffee and feel the gentle rhythm of this mountain town wake up around you. Chefchaouen has a way of inviting you to slow down, look up, and take a lot of pictures!
After our walk, we’ll begin the drive toward Fes, with a few fun stops and a stop for lunch along the way. As we descend from the Rif Mountains into the cultural heart of Morocco, the landscapes shift and the colors deepen.
When we arrive in Fes, get ready to be completely enchanted by our riad: This newly renovated space is pure Moroccan soul. Think panoramic rooftop, courtyard with a dipping pool, and warm, inviting details in every corner.
There is also an on-site hammam, where you’ll have the option to enjoy a traditional Moroccan spa experience. From the exfoliating scrub to the hair washing to the deep relaxation that follows, it’s an unforgettable ritual.
Enjoy a 3-course dinner in our riad.
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
Accommodation: Riad Fes Saiss, Fes
-
This morning we’ll head into the market of Fes to pick out all the ingredients for our evening cooking class. Be prepared for your senses to be awakened!
Afterwards we will meet our guide for a walking tour that brings the old medina (walled city) to life. You’ll visit a traditional tannery, watching artisans practice the ancient craft of leather making with methods used for generations. The colors, the process, the history — it’s mesmerizing.
We’ll wander deeper into the medina to taste the best olives in the city and warm, sweet cookies made right in front of you by local bakers. Fes has a way of engaging every sense, and today you’ll taste, smell, see and hear its magic up close.
We’ll also visit Al Qarawiyyin, the oldest university in the world which was founded by a woman!! It’s a powerful moment to stand in a place where women’s legacy and leadership have shaped history for over a thousand years.
In the early evening, we will be welcomed into a local woman’s home for a our Moroccan cooking class. We’ll prepare and enjoy a beautiful 3-course dinner sitting with the chef herself and a few other local women. We will laugh, talk, and hear about daily life through the eyes of locals.
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
Accommodation: Riad Fes Saiss, Fes

Buckle up, baby. Today is a journey.
Download your favorite podcast, make a playlist, grab your journal, and settle in. This is one of those long travel days that becomes a core memory — the kind where you’re half lost in your thoughts and half belting out tunes with the group as the miles roll by.We’ll leave Fes and make our way toward Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. Along the way we’ll take plenty of stretch breaks including the Ifran cedar forest and spot some wild monkeys! The landscape will start to shift to dryer terrain with views of sheep herders in the distance.
As we approach Merzouga, the sand begins to appear — soft, golden and endless. When we arrive, we’ll transfer into SUVs and ride across the dunes to meet our camels and guide.
We will ride slowly, viewing the sunset as we make our way to our luxury camp. This is when the magic becomes real.
You’ll be welcomed by the warm and joyful Amazigh (Berber) hosts who will prepare a 3-course dinner for us and greet us with a lively drum circle as the sun begins to set behind the dunes. The sound, the sky, the rhythm, the moment… it’s unforgettable.
Tonight you’ll sleep in a peaceful, silent desert where the world feels far away. And if you’re feeling brave or dreamy, there’s an option to sleep outside under the stars. The sky out here is unreal.
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
Accommodation: Sahara Sky Luxury Camp, Sahara Desert*yes, these tents have modern showers, toilets, AC, and heat!
-
Today is our day to play in the desert.
Wake up early to watch the sunrise spill across the sand hills, painting everything in gold. There is nothing quite like the stillness of a desert morning — it’s soft, sacred and full of possibility.
We will hop in SUVs to head across the desert to visit a local Amazihg nomadic family’s home. They will welcome us with tea and cookies and share a bit about their nomadic lifestyle.
Afterwards, we visit the Gnawa cultural center. The Gnawan people are originally from Mali who were brought to Morocco as slaves and now share their beautiful culture and music with us to learn about.
Afterwards, we head to a magical hotel in the middle of the desert with the most luxurious view and pool. Relax, unwind, swim, and enjoy a special lunch of Berber pizza.
This evening you have 2 choices: head back to the camp to relax, or take off on another adventure. We will rent ATVS and ride into the tops of the dunes to watch the sun set and sandboard down the dunes, roll around like a kid, take photos that look straight out of a dream or stretch out on the warm sand and do nothing at all. This is your space to play, rest and let your joy lead the way.
Tonight we celebrate our final desert evening with another beautiful 3-course dinner and a lively drum circle under the stars. And who knows — you might be handed a drum to play. Trust me, you’ll want to say yes.
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
Accommodation: Sahara Sky Luxury Camp, Sahara Desert
-
This morning we’ll take the SUVs back out of the desert to meet our driver and begin our journey west toward the Atlas Mountains. The first stop is a fossil workshop where we get to see what creatures used to roam the Sahara Desert (umm sharks?!?!).
We then will stop in the Rose Valley women’s cooperative where we get to see how the women make rose oil products. These make great gifts for the special women in your life.
We will make our way to Dades Gorge, an oasis of date trees. Wait until you see this landscape—it’s desert meets greenery!
We will check into our riad and you have some time to rest or use the hammam and pool. Afterwards we will enjoy a 3-course dinner at our stunning riad!
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
Accommodation: Riad Bahamou, Dades Gorge
-
This morning we’ll leave the quiet beauty of Dades Valley and head to our first stop in Aït Ben Haddou, a fortressed castle. We will climb to the top, stopping along the way to name the movies that were filmed here—Gladiator, Game of Thrones, Babel, The Mummy—just to name a few.
We will stop for a beautiful walk and lunch in Todra Gorge where we get to see waterfalls flowing over the high rocks.
From there, we will continue on to an argan oil cooperative where you get to stock up an alllll your beauty needs.
Finally we make our way to Marrakech, the city of color, rhythm and deep tradition. Once we arrive, you’ll have time to unwind at the hotel, book a hammam appointment or start wandering the medina. Soak up the warm, vibrant energy of the city.
We will meet for a 3-course dinner at our riad.
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
Accommodation: Riad Aslal, Marrakech
-
If you’re up for an unforgettable experience, this morning you can join the optional hot air balloon ride as the sun rises over Marrakech. Watching the desert and distant mountains glow in the early light is one of those “pinch me” moments that stays with you forever. After your flight, you’ll enjoy breakfast at the balloon camp before heading back to the city. If you choose to sleep in, breakfast will be provided to you at the hotel.
Around 9am we’ll head out for a guided walking tour that brings Marrakech to life.
We’ll explore the breathtaking Bahia Palace, a masterpiece of carved ceilings, mosaic tiles and peaceful courtyards.
Then we’ll wander through the lively medina, tasting special street snacks and discovering hidden corners, artisans and flavors that make Marrakech unforgettable. This is your shopping time! Pick up gifts, treasures and souvenirs that will forever remind you of this journey. Marrakech markets are vibrant, colorful and full of beauty — an adventure in themselves.
Tonight we’ll come back together for a special surprise at the riad before dinner. Trust me, it’s special.
We will then walk to our farewell 3-course dinner — a warm, celebratory final evening to honor everything you’ve experienced and the friendships you’ve built.
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
Accommodation: Riad Aslal, Marrakech
-
This morning we’ll enjoy one final breakfast together, sharing hugs, laughter and those “I can’t believe we just did that” reflections that only come after a truly transformational trip. It’s a gentle, sweet moment to honor the connections you’ve made and the version of yourself you’re taking home.
After breakfast, we’ll say our goodbyes and we will have one group transport to the Marrakech airport for your departure.
If your flight leaves later, we can help arrange private transportation! If you decide to extend an extra day in Marrakech or head off to the coast, that’s encouraged too!
This is not the end, sugar plum.
It’s the beginning of everything you’re taking with you.

YOUR HOST
Meet Alyssa
As an avid solo traveler and certified travel coach for women, I always heard: "I want to stop waiting on other people and just travel, but I don’t want to go fully solo AND alone!”
That's how my group trips were born. You don’t need to wait for your friend circles or partner to travel with you, for your kids to get older, or for your stress to fade — you just have to say yes to yourself! Stop waiting and explore places in the safety and comfort of a group of other women.
This will be my 3rd time leading a group trip in Morocco and I cannot WAIT to show you all the magic and beauty this country has to offer.
I’m a tour operator with a background in social work and psychology, so I handle it all from the fears you have to the logistics you haven’t thought of. You get to show up and enjoy it!
THIS TRIP IS FOR YOU IF YOU…
Come as you are—with an open heart and positive, adventurous spirit.
✔ You are kind, thoughtful, self-aware, and drama free.
✔ You are eager to learn about a different culture, the locals, and want to take care of the land. We’re guests, not consumers.
✔ You understand that things don’t operate as they do back home so you go with the flow.
✔ You celebrate differences and stay curious.
✔ You want to support women and let them support you.
✔ You are ready to say yes and open to what changes.
✔ You like to laugh and have fun. Life is too short to be serious all the time!

FAQ
Everything you’re wondering
-
Ideally you fly into Tangier (TNG) and out of Marrakech (RAK).
If you find it easier to fly into Casablanca, there is a high speed train from Casablanca to Tangier or you can book a private driver from the Casablanca airport direct to Tangier.
-
Yes! I recommend “cancel for any reason” insurance, but at a minimum you must purchase medical coverage and post-departure coverage.
Buy insurance within 10-14 days of your first trip payment for maximum coverage options if you have pre-existing health conditions.
I recommend, and am proud to partner with Wanderwell, a Certified B Corporation travel insurance provider that makes it as simple as possible. They don’t overwhelm you with options, offering just a few modern, benefit-packed trip protection plans that can cover the most common travel perils related to trip cancellation, trip interruption, trip delay, travel medical expenses, baggage & personal effects, emergency medical evacuation, and more.
At least one percent of their revenue from this purchase will be donated to the Planet Impact Fund through 1% for the Planet network.
-
Anyone over 18!
I have had travelers from 22-76 years old, with the majority of the women in their late 30s and throughout their 40s and 50s. If you have an open heart, an adventurous spirit, a positive outlook, and can move with ease, then age is just a number!
*Note, you must be able to climb stairs, walk 10k steps per day, and carry your luggage short distances.
-
I’ve got you. When you are on the checkout page, I offer you a chance to book an hour with me to help you with booking flights, packing, or any pre or post trip extensions.
You can always purchase a session with me at a later date, however, the price will be higher than purchasing it during checkout.
-
Almost everything is included so you won’t have to open your wallet often (I designed it that way!).
There are 2 things you can expect to open your wallet for:
-Lunches which range from $4 for some soup if you’re not hungry to $20 for a 3-course meal
-Your Tangier airport pickup (approx. $20)
Optional item:
-Tip for the driver ($5-$7 per day) and the tour guide ($10 per day)
-ATV ride in the desert ($40)
-Hot air balloon ($170)
-Hammam visits ($20-$60)
-Any shopping
-Alcohol
-
Because of the small, intimate nature of this trip, I will not be able to offer any refunds. I have to pay the vendors in Morocco and many of them have no refund policies as well. Please purchase trip insurance with “cancel for any reason” if you’re not sure! DM me if you need help with this.
-
This is a pretty active trip—not in the “let’s hike mountains, skydive, and cold plunge” kind of way. More in the “let’s go!!!!” kind of way.
We are moving between 6 hotels during 9 nights so this trip is about exploring, not lounging. So if you’re someone who wants to see places, feel adventurous, and is okay with down time happening while in the van staring at beautiful scenery, this is for you.
You will have some evenings or lunch times free if you want to wander solo.
Morocco isn’t an alcohol-filled party place, so if you’re looking for that vibe, this trip isn’t for you.
Read my group code of conduct here for a better understanding of the way I keep things fun and enjoyable for all.
-
I totally get it! You will have a pre-trip call to meet all the women on the trip plus everyone will fill out a form about sleeping preferences (sound machine vs silence, stay up late vs get to bed early, etc). This is intended to match you with a person that will be the best fit for your sleep habits.
If you know you snore loudly, please be courteous and book a solo room.
-
Moroccan food does not include any pork and it’s easy to eat vegetarian.
It is also fairly easy to be dairy and gluten free as long as you are okay with basic meals at some places. If you have an extreme allergy, this isn’t the trip fo you. Please message me if you have dietary needs so we can determine if this is the right fit.
-
Yes! You have an option to make a deposit and then payments along the way. You will see all the details on the payment page at checkout.
-
It’s quite the mix! Expect stairs, hills, and cobblestone streets some days and chill 4-7 hour van rides on other days.
You should be able to lift and carry your suitcase, climb a flight or 2 of stairs, walk 10k steps, and sit for 2 hour periods.

Melinda
“This trip gave me all the college dorm vibes again—late-night laughs, both deep and silly conversations, amazing food, and nonstop adventures. Because we didn’t all know each other well, it created space for openness, surprise, and genuine connection. Solo Girl Wanders did an amazing job curating such a memorable experience for us.”

Rosabel
“I'll never forget this trip because it helped me experience new things outside of my comfort zone. It was a wonderful experience and you learn so much about yourself at the same time. The best part you show up solo but leave with amazing new friends.
I would recommend traveling with Alyssa of Solo Girl Wanders because her trip itinerary is thoughtfully curated to learn and explore each city you visit. That includes personalized tours that wouldn't be found in large scale tour group settings. The trip was perfect!"

Sarah
This was an experience that should not be missed nor will ever be forgotten. I got to try so many things, felt so supported through the process, and laughed my butt off.
The best part of going on a trip with Solo Girl Wanders is the community of women who showed up for one another and said YES to all the things. You will feel a part of a fantastic community and will leave with so many wonderful memories.

“I'll never forget this trip because I got to experience new and interesting things with a wonderful group of women.
The itinerary was great, we supported local women, and we got to have fun and unforgettable experiences with amazing women who became friends.
Alyssa is the perfect guide. She knows exactly when to be serious and professional and when to let loose and have fun. She designs meaningful itineraries that expose you to so many aspects of the local culture. She also has a contagious personality and gets everyone laughing. It was an awesome experience, one I hope I get to do again!”

Emily
“I stood in awe time and time again by the beauty of the country and its people.
The best part was the activities and focus on female empowerment. We skipped busy tourist lines, saw the experts in their line of work, and had interactions with locals. Instead of viewing people and a culture from a distance, we had the opportunity to jump in and actually interact with the local community.
Alyssa is thoughtful about where she travels, the activities we do and the people she picks for her trips. She made me feel safe and empowered. Recommend 110%!”
