Morocco: from Souks to Sahara

From bustling souks to Sahara sunsets, experience our women-only tour

Morocco

Book now with $550. Pay the rest at your pace.

12 days starting at $4,250 USD.

Up to 14 solo female travelers.

Morocco is where tradition and wonder collide. Hear the call to prayer echo through the medina, breathe in the spice-filled air of the markets, and watch the Sahara glow gold at sunset. From Marrakech’s buzzing alleys to the silence of the desert and the peaks of the Atlas Mountains, this journey pulls you into Morocco’s soul.

Led by local female guides (and sometimes even female drivers), you’ll connect with Morocco through its women—sharing tea in family homes, visiting women-run cooperatives, and hearing stories that rarely make it into guidebooks.

This isn’t just travel. It’s a celebration of resilience, culture, and connection—with Morocco’s women, and with the women beside you.

TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

Step into spaces tourists rarely see—where Moroccan women cook, create, and carry generations of tradition.

Spend the night deep in the Sahara – luxury tents, Bedouin hospitality, and a sky alive with stars.

Learn to cook in an non-profit kitchen where local women share their recipes—and their stories.

Sway through the Sahara on camelback while the sun paints the dunes in gold.

Take part in a hands-on workshop with the inspiring artisan women of a non-profit supporting those with disabilities.

Stay in gorgeous, hand-tiled riads that feel like mini palaces.

Why Choose SoFe Travel?

Built for Solo Women

Every trip is designed specifically for solo female travelers. That means no awkward third wheels, no feeling like the odd one out—just instant community, shared values, and support from Day One.

Real Connection

Almost everyone arrives solo, and 92% of our travelers stay in touch long after the trip ends. It’s not just a tour—it’s a chance to make lifelong friendships in some of the world’s most unforgettable places.

Space to Breathe

We build in solo time, always. Want to wander a market alone or skip a group dinner for some quiet? Go for it. Prefer a travel buddy? There's always someone ready to join you. You do you—with the comfort of community when you want it.

No Forced Single Supplements

Forget the extra fees. Our roommate matching quiz pairs you with a like-minded traveler, or you can upgrade to a private room if you prefer your own space.

Is The Morocco Tour Right for you?

Long drives

To get from the pink alleys of Marrakech to the golden dunes of the Sahara or the mountain villages of the High Atlas, you'll spend hours on the road. We travel in private, air-conditioned vehicles with plenty of stops, but if you hate road trips, this might not be the destination for you.

Sensory Overload

Morocco is vibrant, loud, colorful, and sometimes chaotic—in the best way. But if you’re sensitive to noise, strong smells (hello, spice markets and tanneries), crowds, or aggressive sales tactics in markets, it can be overwhelming. You’ll need a sense of humor and flexibility to enjoy it fully.

Conservative dress code

Morocco is a Muslim country, and while it's welcoming to travelers, it’s still conservative. Dressing modestly is a must in many areas, especially outside big cities.

Your Morocco Itinerary

Day 1 - WELCOME TO CASABLANCA!

From airport pickup to a friendly welcome meeting and shared Moroccan dinner, your adventure begins.

Salam Alaykoum! Welcome to Morocco—a land of spice-filled souks, layered history, and riads so beautiful they feel like secret worlds. Touch down in Casablanca, where the buzz of the city greets you with honking taxis, palm-lined boulevards, and cafés spilling over with locals sipping mint tea. Our driver will meet you at the airport and take you straight to the hotel.

This evening, meet your fellow travelers at the 6pm welcome meeting, then share your first Moroccan meal together—perhaps fragrant tagine slow-cooked with saffron and apricots, fluffy couscous, or warm bread dipped in olive oil and spice. It’s the perfect beginning to the journey ahead.

Meals: dinner

Day 2 - Ocean Views & Mountain Blues

Tour of Hassan II mosque, arrival at The Blue City & solo time

This morning, breathe in the salt-kissed air as you stand beside the Hassan II Mosque, rising from the Atlantic with soaring marble minarets that seem to touch the sky. Its walls glow with geometric mosaics, carved wood detailing, and gilded ceilings—the kind of craftsmanship that stops you mid-breath.

Then we leave the coast behind and journey into the Rif Mountains, arriving in Chefchaouen, the legendary Blue City. Wandering its medina is like stepping into a dream—alleys awash in shades of blue, where every turn invites you to pause, snap a photo, and get lost in the beauty. The mountain air is fresh and cool, bringing calm where bigger cities often feel chaotic.

Here, the rhythm shifts. Spend your afternoon exploring on your own—maybe trace the blue walls up to Uta Hammam Square, discover hidden shops full of wool blankets and goat cheese, or catch the golden sunset from the Spanish Mosque overlooking the medina.

Meals: breakfast

Day 3 - Cafés, Cameras & Chefchaouen Vibes

Your day in Chefchaouen—solo time & local experiences

Today is yours to soak up Chefchaouen’s endless shades of blue. Wander the maze of painted alleys with your camera in hand, pause at a café to watch daily life unfold, or sip mint tea while chatting with a friendly local.

If you’re in the mood for more, we’ve got plenty of optional adventures: a guided photo walk, a visit with a henna artist, an afternoon exploring hidden corners of the medina, or even a hike up into the hills for sweeping views of the Blue Pearl from above. However you spend it, Chefchaouen is the kind of place that invites you to slow down, explore, and let the day carry you.

Meals: breakfast

Day 4 - Past Meets Present on the Road to Fes

Visit Volubilis, a pilgrimage village & a home-cooked meal

This morning, step onto the ancient stones of Volubilis, where the Roman Empire once thrived at the edge of Africa. Imagine life here centuries ago as you wander through mosaic-lined villas, old bathhouses, bustling marketplaces, and crumbling archways still standing proud against the hills.

Next, travel to the sacred village of Moulay Idriss, Morocco’s holiest town, where whitewashed houses climb the hillside in every direction. Here, you’ll be welcomed into a local home for a warm, home-cooked lunch, sharing food and conversation that go far beyond the guidebooks.

By afternoon, journey on to the magnificent city of Fes. Settle into our dreamy riad, a place of tiled courtyards and lantern-lit corners, and enjoy the evening at your own pace.

Meals: breakfast and lunch

Day 5 -Pastilla, Pottery & Powerful Women

Explore Fes with a female guide, share pastilla in a family home, and enjoy a surprise treat

Today, set out on a female-led walking tour of Fes el Bali, the old city where time feels suspended. Step into the labyrinthine medina, one of the largest car-free zones in the world, alive with the calls of craftsmen, the fragrance of spice stalls, the shimmer of brass lamps, and the hum of daily life.

Along the way, visit the Medresse el Attarine, an architectural jewel of intricate zellij tilework, and the Funduk Nejjarine, a beautifully restored 18th-century inn turned museum of woodcraft. Peek into the famous tannery, where vats of jewel-colored dye create one of Morocco’s most iconic sights, and stop at a ceramics workshop, where potters shape and glaze by hand, just as they’ve done for centuries.

This evening, you’ll be welcomed into a local family’s home for dinner. Savor Fes’s signature dish—pastilla, a delicate pastry filled with spiced meat, dusted with sugar and cinnamon—before the women of the house surprise you with something special.

Meals: breakfast and dinner

Day 6 - Road to the Sahara

Sahara Desert & Solo time

Today we set out on an epic road trip to Erfoud, the fabled gateway to the Sahara. The journey unfolds over 6.5 scenic hours (plus plenty of stops!), carrying us through rugged mountains, fertile valleys, and wide-open plains that showcase Morocco’s wild beauty. Each turn of the road reveals a new, dramatic landscape that reminds you just how vast this country truly is.

By evening, we arrive in Erfoud, where the desert air carries a new kind of stillness. The night is yours: stroll the lively streets, sip on a glass of sweet mint tea, or simply rest and recharge for tomorrow’s adventure into the dunes.

Meals: breakfast and dinner

Day 7 - Tradition Tastes Better in the Desert

Sunset camel ride, desert dinner & luxury glamping

This morning, step into the rhythms of Khemliya, a desert village known for its Gnawa music, rich traditions, and warm hospitality. Wander its sandy lanes on a guided walk before rolling up your sleeves for a medfouna cooking demo. Often called “desert pizza,” this hearty dish is baked in the sand itself—an experience that’s as authentic as it is delicious. Enjoy your creation over lunch, seasoned with stories and laughter from the locals who welcome you in.

As the afternoon sun softens, climb onto a camel for a sunset ride into the sweeping dunes of the Sahara. The light turns the sand into waves of gold as you sway deeper into the desert’s silence. After an hour, arrive at your luxury desert camp, where lanterns flicker, a warm dinner awaits, and the night sky reveals a canopy of endless stars.

Meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Day 8 - Todras & Palms: A Day of Contrasts

Chasing the colors of desert and canyon

Wake early to watch the Sahara come alive at sunrise, when the dunes shift from soft purple to blazing gold in a show of color you’ll never forget. After breakfast, leave camp behind and set out on a spectacular drive through the Todra Gorge—towering limestone cliffs that rise nearly 400 meters above you, carved over centuries by the river below. We’ll stop often to stretch, snap photos, and simply take in the scale of this natural wonder.

By afternoon, continue on to Skoura, an oasis town surrounded by a vast palm grove. This peaceful haven will be our home for the night—an idyllic pause before the next adventure.

Meals: breakfast and dinner

Day 9 - Tea, Tagines & Ait Benhaddou Scenes

Cooking class and lunch with a women focused NGO & walking tour

This morning, roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking class in Skoura, where local women guide you through the art of preparing slow-cooked couscous and delicate Moroccan pastries. While the couscous steams, sit down over mint tea to share stories and laughter with your hosts. Then comes the best part—feasting together on the dishes you’ve made.

In the afternoon, step into history with a walk through Ait Benhaddou, the UNESCO-listed ksar whose mudbrick kasbahs have starred in films from Gladiator to Game of Thrones. Afterwards, continue on to Marrakech, where the evening is yours to explore, unwind, or dive straight into the city’s dazzling energy.

Meals: breakfast and lunch

Day 10 - The City That Casts a Spell

Guided tour of Marrakech old medina & workshop at Alnour Association

Oh, Marrakech—it’s impossible not to fall under its spell. This morning, we’ll visit the Alnour Association, a remarkable social enterprise where women with disabilities create intricate textiles and embroidery. You’ll see their craft firsthand, hear their stories, and know that your visit helps support their independence and artistry.

From there, dive into the city’s treasures: the ornate Bahia Palace, the peaceful Jardin Secret, the fragrant spice markets, and the soaring Koutoubia Mosque.

This afternoon and evening, the city is yours. Get lost in the tangle of souks, sip mint tea in a quiet courtyard, or let the calls to prayer and swirl of street performers carry you into the night. End the day on a rooftop terrace with a view of the medina, a glass of wine in hand as the city glows below.

Meals: breakfast

Day 11 - Choose Your Own Marrakech Adventure

Solo day in Marrakesh & farewell dinner

Get delightfully lost in the magic of Marrakech with a free day to follow your curiosity. Indulge in a traditional hammam spa ritual, stroll the lush paths of the Majorelle Gardens and YSL Museum, or simply wander the medina, letting its colors, scents, and sounds lead you from one discovery to the next.

This evening, gather one last time for a farewell feast at a women-owned restaurant. Over fragrant dishes and laughter, we’ll reminisce about the journey we’ve shared and raise a toast to the friendships and memories that will last long after Morocco.

Meals: breakfast and dinner

Day 12 - Farewell for now

Until our next adventure…

Say goodbye to the beautiful, life-changing country of Morocco—and farewell (for now) to the wonderful friendshipsmade along the way. As the tour comes to a close, your guide will be on hand to help arrange airport transportation. Check-out is at 12pm, with memories to carry far beyond the journey.

Meals: breakfast

Hand-picked Accommodation

On this journey, we’ve handpicked riads and hotels full of charm, comfort, and local character. A riad is a traditional Moroccan home built around a central courtyard—often with mosaic tiles, leafy greenery, and the soft trickle of a fountain. From the outside they’re hidden behind simple doors in the medina, but step inside and you’ll find a quiet oasis that feels worlds away from the busy streets.

Picture yourself on a rooftop terrace with the call to prayer echoing across the skyline, or curled up in a lantern-lit corner scented with orange blossom. Staying in a riad isn’t just accommodation—it’s an experience, and often one of the most magical memories of Morocco.

RIAD SAYEDA AI HORA, FES

Tucked deep inside the winding alleys of the Fès medina, Riad Sayeda Al Hora feels like stepping into another world. Sunlight spills across tiled courtyards, lanterns glow softly at night, and the hum of the city fades the moment you walk through the door. It’s intimate, elegant, and designed for slowing down—a sanctuary where tradition meets comfort.

LUXURY CAMP, SAHARA DESERT

Beautiful and comfortable, a night under the stars after a traditional Bedouin dinner is one you will never forget. Tents include a private bathroom, regular beds, and a sunset like you’ve never seen.

2CIELS BOUTIQUE HOTEL, MARRAKESH

An urban oasis in the heart of Marrakech, 2Ciels Hotel Boutique is a peaceful retreat that blends the traditions and prestige of the Red City with bold, modern elegance. Behind its sunlit façade, you’ll find stylish, designer interiors that captivate from the moment you step into the lobby.

We match you with your most compatible roommate

We get it—sharing a room with a stranger can feel like a gamble. That’s why we’ve partnered with a professional matchmaker and psychologist to create a bespoke roommate matching quiz, designed to pair you with someone you’ll actually click with.

Whether you’re an early riser or a night owl, a social butterfly or someone who values quiet time, our quiz helps ensure you’re matched with the best possible roommate. And if you prefer your own space, you always have the option to upgrade to a private room.

No stress, no awkward surprises—just a trip made better by great company.
