Morocco Moves are bespoke, authentic experiences organised by Anne and her good friend, Moroccan guide and master musician, Allal Yamine, alongside a great team and friends. Going beyond the tourist trails, these trips are unique and are definitely NOT package holidays. We travel to different areas of this fascinating country each year including 3/4 night mini breaks to Marrakech, 7 day trips to coast and mountains and other locations and 10 day trips to the desert.
Next Morocco Moves (Desert) 2022 is 6-16th May 2022. Email annekingston22@btinternet.com or text 07843 079574 with your email address to receive full details.
"The whole trip was just fabulous. Anne, Barbara and Allal held us with such care and love throughout that we were able to just relax and be free."

"I feel you have got the balance of the trip just right. The desert was so thrilling and such an extraordinary experience for me. I was so pleased to be with such a wonderful group of people, who all added to my well being and healing in their different ways. I am so glad I made this trip with you all and would love to return some time in the future. I will cherish all the experiences and memories and that will feed my soul for years to come."

What to expect...
Carefree, but sometimes challenging travel, expert local knowledge, unique experiences, nurture for body and soul. Our trips are NOT package holidays and do require a moderate level of fitness and commitment. The desert in particular can be challenging in terms of comfort, experience and energies, but the rewards are many.
Whereas the Marrakech minibreaks and the 7 day trips offer a degree of comfort in hotel or riad accommodation, the desert trips are more basic, often challenging, but offer an experience of a lifetime and a unique insight into life in this stunning environment. Do check beforehand if you are unsure if a particular trip is right for you.
SHORT BREAKS - Morocco Moves (Marrakech) mini breaks 3/4 nights showing you the delights of Marrakech, a great opportunity to have fun with friends, shop til you drop, take a cookery lesson or just enjoy a few days taking in the sights and sounds of this amazing city. Anne will take away any stress and provide you with care and guidance to enable you to just enjoy the experience. Accommodation in beautiful small riads with English speaking staff situated in the heart of the Medina.
7 DAY BREAKS - Morocco Moves (eg Mts & Coast) Our 7 day trips are to different areas of Morocco, with different themes...photography...wellbeing etc and could be to the Atlas Mountains, on the coast or to a specific event such as an area like the Valley of the Roses.

DESERT ADVENTURES Morocco Moves (Desert) - 10 days of travel. We take in fascinating landscapes en route to the desert..., the Atlas and anti Atlas Mountains, the Valley of the Kasbahs, past beautiful, green date palms in the Draa Valley and beyond to the desert.
The trip entails a long minibus drive with plenty of comfort stops through fascinating landscapes of the High Atlas and Anti Atlas mountains, the Valley of the Kasbahs, through the beautiful green date palsm of the Draa Valley and beyond to the desert region of M'hamid El Ghizlane and then 2hrs off road across the desert in 4 x 4s to our remote camp, Oasis d'Espoir, at Erg Smar. Accommdation is B&B en route to the desert and full board thereafter. Staying in local hotels and twin person desert huts with good beds, toilet and shower facilities. Expect delicious home cooked Moroccan cuisine, desert music and song and the kindness and warmth of our Moroccan team throughout. In all our desert locations you can sleep out under the stars if you wish.
To enhance your relaxation there will be optional sessions in drumming, relaxation, meditation, somatic dance movement, creativity arts and much more. We will also give a little of our time to projects such as seed planting, preparing a tagine or art projects while we are in the desert. Spaciousness, sunrises and sunsets in stunning scenery, a taste of an embodied approach to being, music, wonderful local cooked, organic food, star gazing, camp fires, Berber songs and music all add up to the ultimate in peace and quiet in this beautiful environment allowing your body a chance to rest, refresh and re-evaluate. A degree of general fitness and good health is required for the desert trips.
During our time in the desert sessions in breathwork, relaxation, meditation, trance drumming, embodied movement, sound healing and creativity are included. There is no set programme so plenty of opportunity to be in the moment and go with whatever comes our way which could be anything from getting up early to walk on the dunes and watch sunrise to a sunset trip in 4 x 4s to the Singing dunes. Prepare for Peace! Let time float by and body and mind unwind, it's total relaxation!
We use the same dedicated team to help us and have been running trips for over 12 years together. We love what we do and we love sharing these special times with you. Many of our fellow travellers come back time and time again having experienced the kindness of the Moroccan people and the total relaxation that comes from time in the desert.
Morocco offers rich and diverse environments, people and culture and it is our wish to always contribute sustainably of our time, energy or to offer finanacial help to the local economy where possible. We are currently, (2021/2022) committed to funding solar powered water pumps for communities in the desert region of M'hamid El Ghizlane.
We welcome everyone with a spirit of adventure!.
