We are sadly bidding Marrakesh a very fond farewell as we board our flight home to the UK.
It’s been an incredible trip - the students have been exceptional, and we’ve made so many memories that we’ll treasure for years to come.
Morocco 🐪❤️🇲🇦
Wow! What an action-packed day we’ve had in Marrakesh - such a vibrant and bustling city.
We began with a horse-drawn carriage ride around the old city walls before heading into the Medina with our guide, Mustapha.
Students visited the stunning Ben Youssef Medersa, wandered through the colourful souks, and enjoyed a stop at a Berber pharmacy to learn about the herbs, oils and spices used to promote health and wellbeing.
Our final hotel is perfectly positioned with a rooftop terrace overlooking the famous Djemma el Fnaa square, framed by the Atlas Mountains and the Koutoubia Mosque. What a back drop! 🕌

Our night in the Agafay Desert was an unforgettable experience. 🌙
Students were treated to traditional Berber dancing, with Sam bravely joining the troupe and stealing the show! The evening continued with a spectacular fire performance, followed by Mr Nour’s constellation-spotting challenge under the sparkling night sky.

This afternoon, we arrived in the Agafay Desert, where students demonstrated fantastic EMPOWER skills during a 50-minute camel ride. Despite a few nerves, everyone showed great resilience, bravery, and enthusiasm. They made friends with the camels and had a brilliant time! 🐪🌵🏜️
We have now arrived safely at our camp for the night, settling into our beautiful outdoor tented spaces while enjoying a stunning desert sunset. ✨

Day 3 🌿
This morning we have been soaking up the sights, smells and textures of artist André Heller’s magnificent botanical Anima Garden.
It’s the perfect setting for our students to practise their art and photography skills - inspiration everywhere you look.
We’ll be sharing the winning photo and sketch later! 📸🎨

Food glorious food! 🍽️
We’ve been treated to some fantastic Moroccan cuisine during our time in Imlil - from msemen (traditional Moroccan pancakes) for breakfast, to fresh salads and pasta dishes for lunch, and last night’s chicken & vegetable tagine.
Bon appétit!
