Trekking experience and trek grading – ‘Moderate’

This is a moderately strenuous trek in a remote area of North Africa where you will experience warm conditions. Although this trek is not technically difficult, you should be an experienced walker as trails can be very stony. Most routes follow mule trails but there are some rough paths that involve walking on scree. All 4 days walking include full porterage, meaning your main kit will be transported by mules, and you will only carry a daypack with your personal essentials.

Please note that during the summer months of July and August, Morocco can get very hot during therefore this trek may not be suitable if you struggle with the heat. In addition, please be prepared for some stormy weather during the summer months. As with any trek in mountainous and remote areas, safety is paramount and your leader will always make decisions to amend the itineraries to ensure the safety of the whole group. 

During the main summer months temperatures in Morocco can be very high. During the 2027 Solar Eclipse Trek, you can expect daytime temperatures to be around 25ºC to 32ºC (though they may be as low as 18ºC on the summit of Jbel Tissouka). Overnight temperatures are liekly to be in the region of 16ºC – 22ºC.

It’s good to remember that mountainous weather is difficult to predict. Occasional rain or even short-lived storms are not uncommon, so best to be prepared for all.

We sourced our accommodation very carefully, and pick locally-owned hotels and guesthouses in line with the Adventurous Ewe style of travel, but please note that service and accommodation in Morocco may be different to western standards. The rooms are on a twin or multi share basis. Whilst some rooms have ensuites, others have a shared bathroom.

Single travellers
Our group trips are designed for shared accommodation in order to keep the cost at a minimum for you. Single rooms may be organised for an additional cost however this is dependent on accommodation availability. Single travellers share with people of the same gender in accommodation ranging from twin to multi-share. For more info or to request a single room, please get in touch with us at info@adventurousewe.co.uk.

On your trek the food is mostly local cuisine, with few Western dishes, using ingredients purchased locally and cooked for you by your guesthouse hosts. Breakfasts are likely to be continental style, with tea and coffee, orange juice, cereal, bread, jam and honey. Dinners usually consist of rice, pasta or couscous, with a vegetable stew (or tagine) and maybe some meat (usually chicken, lamb or beef). Meat is not prominent on the menu. All dishes come with traditional sauces which are spiced, but rarely spicy.

Vegetarians can be catered for but there is a fairly limited choice of cous cous and tajine or omelettes. This is particularly the case during the more rural sections of the trip. Please note that if you have any special dietary requirements you should inform Adventurous Ewe at info@adventurousewe.co.uk prior to the trip. If you have a specific medical/dietary need (i.e. coeliac or vegan) you may find it helpful to bring some items of food with you from home. 

It is not recommended to drink untreated water from the taps. You should take purification tablets or a filter bottle (such as a Water-To-Go bottle) to treat your water. We do not encourage the purchasing of single use plastic bottles. Bottled water can be purchased throughout the trip, but we strongly discourage buying these as it contributes to plastic waste. Please note recycling is not fully established in Morocco so plastic bottles are an increasing waste problem.

Adventurous Ewe has partnered with Water-to-Go, a filtration system that eliminates over 99.99% of all microbiological contaminants from any non-salt water source – for more info please click here.

As a thank ewe for joining us and to help reduce our plastic foot-print, Adventurous Ewe trekkers will receive a free Water-to-Go bottle when joining their first overseas trip. And better still, 15% of the purchase value for replacement filters will be donated to our environmental charity partner, Cool Earth. Please help us reduce the volume of single use plastic in this environment.

A non-refundable deposit is required on booking, with the balance due no later than 5 weeks prior to the trip start date.

A monthly payment plan can be arranged for this trip. Please contact us for more information or to set up your plan. Simply email info@adventurousewe.co.uk or call 01492 588 069.
