Breakaway adventures walking tours7/25/2023 ![]() Special memories were made, and the tour with The Adventurous Ewe is an absolute must for anybody interested in Morocco and everything this interesting country has to offer. Back in Casablanca we ended the wonderful tour experience reminiscing over lunch at the famous Rick’s Cafe. We couldn’t leave Marrakech without having sundowners and dinner at the luxury La Mamounia hotel and the experience was the highlight of the trip – sheer opulence and elegance rolled up in one. The luxury tents offered superb accommodation to lay down our weary heads and listen to the lone jackals call in the night. Half-way there we stopped to climb up a sand dune and watch the sun set, sipping on wine to celebrate the sheer beauty and the unique experience of being alive in this quiet, mysterious part of this huge desert. We also visited Merzouga in the Sahara Desert, where we rode on a camel to the luxury camp where we were staying for the night. We stayed at a range of different riads and visited several local co-ops – all of whom were willing to share how their products were made. He also spoke fluent English and ensured we had the full experience of Morocco in true Moroccan style. The trip was well organized and the tour guide was knowledgeable and very accommodating of the group’s needs. “Amazing trip from beginning to end – an adventure filled with an explosion of color, surprises, diverse intertwined cultures and exceptional food and hospitality. If this is not already in your Bucket List, you are missing out.” We travelled around the country in a comfortable tourist bus, which was small enough to allow for great flexibility: stopping for a street-food lunch or coffee or a toilet-break by mutual agreement beats an ocean-liner tourist bus with a massive crowd of people on it, hands down. Have you ever heard the phrase, “You can sleep when you’re dead,”? Well, this applies to the Morocco tour – you don’t want to miss a thing. No moment was wasted, though there was ample downtime to recharge batteries. ![]() Our perfect English speaker guide was a local and could arrange anything at the drop of a hat: dinner at a private home a table, cushions and snacks on a desert dune or freshly-shucked oysters at the Fish Market to be slurped standing up. Mandy Salonika worked tirelessly to package and present a tour for our group of women and managed to pitch it at exactly the right level: graceful luxury and the sense of being cosseted and treated, all the while feeling you’re in the middle of an exotic adventure. ![]() We saw this magnificent (and very benign) country from every angle and it was done in style. Our Moroccan tour with the Adventurous Ewe has to rate as one of my best trips – ever. “Women-only travel is the way to go, ladies! Where else would professionals and working women be able to find time or friends/travel companions able to go exploring with them? Maybe your husband hates to travel – this way, you can slot into a tour group of like-minded women and feel included, safe and live your best life immersed in new and exciting cultures, sights, sounds and food.
