“One day you could be in the Agafay desert hiking your way to a Berber village and the next you could be kitesurfing and taking lessons with locals in Essaouira with that famed Atlantic breeze.
Morocco is a landscape where culture runs deep and community is strong. The diverse country is easy to navigate, from remote areas to bustling medinas. “One day you could be in the Agafay desert hiking your way to a Berber village and the next you could be kitesurfing and taking lessons with locals in Essaouira with that famed Atlantic breeze. What’s key is the community feel,” Marchant says, who recently hosted a company retreat in the country. “We spent a day volunteering in the Atlas Mountains supporting a charity called Al Foulki pour les Femmes, who help in recovery efforts from the earthquake in remote communities,” he says, pointing to these types of experiences as being suited to solo travelers who wish to connect to a destination’s culture.
