Grab your camera, your curiosity and your appetite – because this isn’t just a trip to Morocco, it’s an adventure with Rob Embury, and it’s going to be one for the books. From maze-like medinas and mountain passes to camel rides across golden dunes, this itinerary has everything you’ve been dreaming of (and a few surprises too).
You’ll dive head-first into Moroccan culture: bargaining in the souks, sipping mint tea with locals, sleeping under the stars in a desert camp, and learning how to cook the perfect tagine. It’s immersive, it’s unforgettable, and it’s hosted by someone who knows how to keep the vibes high and the moments meaningful.
Whether you’re dancing under Saharan skies, wandering the blue streets of Chefchaouen or laughing over dinner in a rooftop riad, this trip blends adventure with comfort, depth with fun – and just the right amount of chaos.

Rob Embury
I’m a Melbourne-based travel, landscape, nature, weather, and astrophotographer with a passion for chasing wild light and remote landscapes. Whether it’s dramatic storms, mountain vistas, or starlit skies, I’m always searching for moments that tell a story and reveal the hidden beauty of the natural world.
My passion for photography is about more than just taking photos – it’s about helping people see things they’ve never noticed before. I also run international photography tours, guiding small groups to extraordinary destinations and sharing the skills and techniques behind the images.
I’m very much looking forward to connecting with creators and explorers, and to hitting up a bunch of beautiful and bucket-list destinations with you! ✌️🌩️📸
Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive in Marrakech
Touch down in Marrakech, where we will meet at our boutique riad tucked inside the bustling medina. Depending on when you arrive, you may have time to settle in, sip a mint tea, or take a short wander through the surrounding alleyways filled with scents, sounds and colour before we officially kick the trip off.
In the evening, meet your host Rob and fellow travellers on a rooftop terrace for a delicious welcome dinner and group briefing. You’ll watch the sun dip behind the city walls as the call to prayer echoes in the distance – your Moroccan adventure has officially begun.
