The Kingdom of Morocco is where African, Arab & European Cultures meet!
After researching many of the other companies in the marketplace, it appeared that they all followed the same or similar itinerary. So therefore, we designed our own programme to not be the same-same cookie cutter itinerary. What we have decided on is what we think will suit you, our Clubbers the best. After dissecting all the details, we realised that Morocco has something for everyone.
Morocco is such a huge country with a truly diverse countryside and is hard to appreciate in just 14-16 days. The diversity is spread from North to South and East to West and everywhere in-between. She has the alluring Sahara Desert, the wild Atlantic coast, the spectacular Atlas Mountains, (mid, high, and low), the ‘movie set’ historical cities and of course the romantic traditional villages that follow the ancient caravan trade routes. For this reason, we have made sure that we have taken the time to include the ‘True Morocco’ and soak up all the experiences that are unique to this beautiful country.
We have designed a premium 21-day adventure with a criss-cross directional flow, both ‘zigging and zagging’ to make sure that we don’t miss any highlights, especially the best of the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage sites (of which we will see 8 of the 9 in total in Morocco!).
The very ‘Essence of Morocco’ will be evident throughout our chosen nightly sleepovers! Our 20 nights will be spread amongst some Beautiful Ornate Riads (small family-owned traditional merchant houses) Exquisite Stately Residences, superbly located Luxury Hotels, Authentic Berber style Guest houses, Palaces and even an exquisite 5-star Winery experience and of course a magical 2-night stop in a Luxury Sahara Desert Camp! All other companies have 1-night ONLY in the desert which means arriving late and departing early and some are even located right on the fringe of the surrounding towns. Not even in the desert! This is not the desert experience we were looking for!
G&T are very confident that this programme is not just great value, but also has the wow factor that our Clubbers have now come to expect and is certainly unique. Below is our fabulous Premium 21-day ‘MOROCCO UNWRAPPED’ itinerary in detail for you to read through before grabbing your spot.
Casablanca – Rabat – Chefchaouen – Volubilis – Fes – Meknes – Marrakech – Ouirgane – Ait Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Zagora – Chigaga – Taroudant – Essaouira – Safi – Oualidia –El Jadida – Casablanca.
NB: BOLD denotes 8 of the 9 Moroccan UNESCO World Heritage sites visited on this fantastic tour!.
There are some great tour companies out there but they all tend to follow the same path and the same style. We are not re-inventing the wheel but feel that our ‘product’ has some very distinct differences and some personal touches that make our travel experience quite unique. For our existing G&T Clubbers, you know all of this but for the benefit of our new comers and of course your immediate family and friends who we invite to join us, please see below how we differ.
G&T always develop an exciting itinerary with natural flow to maximise our time and experience. We choose our tour dates with regard for the best possible weather and less crowds. Importance for Morocco was given to the appreciation of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We will visit 8 of the 9 national sites.

G&T choose accommodation with the concept of adding to your overall Moroccan experience. Several multi night stops have been added to ensure that your holiday is much more enjoyable. Our choices were made with consideration of location and proximity to the action, spectacular views, style, feel and facilities, not just a star-rating. Some ground operators like to run with a consistent star rating which misses the opportunity to experience the local heritage style altogether.
G&T always make choices that allow easy access to excellent food. Whether it be our daily breakfast or the proximity to great restaurants and cafes nearby. We also like to check that the obvious dietary requirements can be catered for. Cooking classes are always a fun and fantastic way to experience and learn about the local cuisines.
G&T always host every Club Tour. This gives you something no one else can match. We will be with you the entire time, assisting with your needs and looking after you personally. On top of that we will always employ our own National Tour Guides along with localised city guides to better understand the local areas.
G&T most importantly make sure that the product is ‘Great Value’. Not necessarily the cheapest but well worth the few extra dollars to ensure an amazing experience!
G&T always design a tour program with the Clubbers in mind. The concept of the Club remains the same and that is, our Club is invite only and not open to the general public. Clubbers are always encouraged to bring along their immediate family and or friends as we feel that they too will be a good fit for the G&T Travel Club.

Note: Tipping in Morocco is customary. We have found from experience that the best way to deal with this is to generate a ‘tips kitty’ which takes away the guess work and the need for constant small change which can be embarrassing. Please budget US$150 cash for this kitty. Small denominations are best. Please have this cash ready for collection at our pre departure meeting on day 1. We will, where possible, ask guests to assist in the distribution of the kitty money to ensure full transparency.
AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR DEVALUATION REPRICE CLAUSE
G&T price our tours on a very narrow margin to give you, our clubbers, the best possible value for money. In the event of a major currency fluctuation/devaluation, we reserve the right to recalculate the price until the final payment due date. If $AUD / $USD rate drops below $AUD 1 = $USD .58 cents, we reserve the right to reprice the tour.
Note: This $USD ‘trigger rate’ of $AUD to 1 $USD .58 cents is not the ‘official rate’ you see advertised by the bank, but our ‘buy’ rate when we purchase the currency through our bank which is the National Australia Bank (NAB).
GRAB YOUR SPOT
We do require a minimum of 10 guests on each tour to guarantee the departures.
Many of our chosen accommodations are small and intimate and we have a maximum of 12 rooms blocked for us. This means, as we secure single room occupancy for our solo travellers our group sizes will decrease as we fill our maximum 12 rooms.
NB: Group size will then be a maximum of 18-20 on each tour.
NB: Our average group size historically has been 13-16, depending on the number of solo travellers.
