Morocco in depth tour

The Impacts of this Trip

All aspects of this trip (on the ground) are operated by Moroccans. This includes our leaders, vehicle drivers, local site guides, and accommodation providers. This trip stays at Riad Nesma in Marrakech. This property is owned by a local couple, meaning that ownership is 50% female, which isn’t the norm in Morocco. The owners work with Amal, a local non-profit association that provides hospitality training to disadvantaged women. Riad Nesma offers employment to women who have completed training at Amal.


We go direct to the source for many of the inclusions on our trips. This ensures that income from tourism is directly benefitting local communities everywhere we go. We also seek out and support businesses owned by women. Tourism can empower women in many ways, but particularly through the creation of jobs and income generating opportunities in small and larger-scale tourism and hospitality-related enterprises. This trip includes lunch at Tawesna, a women-only co-op in Ait Ben Haddou. The women of the co-op love sharing their specialty dishes and stories with visitors, and the income and independence generated is a huge boost to their self-confidence and quality of life.
