We offer two separate Moroccan adventures with unique routes and varied daily itineraries with each covering approximately 2500 kilometers, including all major environments from high mountains to vast deserts and the North Atlantic Ocean as well. Participants will spend either fifteen or sixteen active days on the ground visiting mine sites and dumps for minerals, primary outcrops and famous sites for fossils, along with traditional and new agate localities. Included will be stops to visit local miners, villagers and Moroccan fossil, mineral, agate and meteorite dealers. In addition to collecting a great variety of unique material, you will have opportunities to explore the enchanting cities of Marrakech, Rabat and Essouira -- tour quaint southern villages and visit remarkable Berber families in their goat-hair tents and mud-brick homes – explore the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis and other World Heritage sites, enjoy an overnight camel trek into the Sahara Desert, traverse incredible landscapes of the Dades Valley, the Tizi ‘n Titchka pass, the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, the great Sahara dunes of the Erg Chebbi, the glorious Atlas mountains, fragrant Valley of the Roses, lush cedar forests and magnificent Atlantic Coastline. You are sure to be impressed with the gracious hospitality of the Berber people as you engage with Moroccan collectors and their families and visit spectacularly interesting villages, artisan areas, markets, cultural museums, gardens, ancient ruins and historical sights -- all with abundant photographic opportunities and amazing once-in-a-lifetime experiences to treasure and share with your family and friends.
To ensure that all of our Moroccan adventures prove to be highly educational and fully engaging in numerous ways, ZRS provides extensive guidance in preparation for our Tours – and in order to provide you with the best of all possible experiences, we work closely with several highly knowledgeable, multilingual and long-term friends who have lived in Morocco for most of their lives. If you’re interested in collecting fossils, minerals, crystals and amazing agates while experiencing some of the most breath-taking countryside highlighted with truly unique geology, fascinating people and intriguing cultural experiences - then these ZRS Guided Adventures to exotic Morocco are right up your alley.
