Message from the Founder
Hi, I’m Lindsey — the heart behind Move Morocco. While living abroad with my family, I began to feel a sudden emptiness, even though I was experiencing what looked like a dream life; I felt lonely, unimportant, and without meaning. I didn’t understand it at first, but through life coaching I realized what I was missing wasn’t more travel, but purpose, meaning, and contribution. That discovery became the foundation of Move Morocco. I believe women need women, and I’ve seen how powerful that connection is when it’s created with intention. Today, my purpose is to hold space for women to travel in a way that is deeply meaningful—where they feel seen, supported, and gently guided toward the version of themselves they are becoming, while experiencing Morocco in a real, unforgettable way.

We will travel toward the Sahara Desert, stopping at the cedar forests to see and feed wild Berber monkeys. Continue through the Ziz Valley and the Tafilalt Oasis, Morocco’s largest palm valley. As the landscape transforms to vast fields of rock and sand, we will arrive at your riad, where you will experience the warm hospitality of the Berber people. Dinner will be a traditional Berber meal, followed by a comfortable night’s stay. Optional evening meditation in the dunes allows you to connect with the desert’s stillness.

DAY 6 - SAHARA SUNRISE & ADVENTURE CHALLENGE Wake early for sunrise yoga atop the dunes, followed by breakfast. Try sandboarding one last time before departing the desert via camel or 4x4. Along the way, stop at a textile shop to see traditional Amazigh garments worn at weddings and festivals. Travel toward Toudra Gorge, where you will walk along the river at the base of towering cliffs. For adventure seekers, a via ferrata climb (extra fee) offers a thrilling birds-eye view of the gorge.
