Activities

Morocco’s diverse landscape means that groups can choose to chill out on the slopes, feel the adrenalin rush of tackling the steep desert dunes in a 4X4 or take to the waters of either the Atlantic or Mediterranean seas.

Local destination management companies can organise trips up the Atlas Mountains, with a night in a deluxe camp, a typical Mechoui (spit-roasted lamb) and couscous dinner, and folklore troupe artists. Alternatively, choose a gala diner at a famous city landmark with cocktails, a Moroccan meal, musicians and belly dancers.

Morocco has been the backdrop of numerous blockbuster movies, and for groups wishing to follow in the footsteps of their on-screen idols a trip to the Atlas Studios of Ouarzazate is a must. Movies filmed here include Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, Jewel of the Nile and Alexander.

For delegates with a taste for the high life, there is the possibility of taking to the skies in a microlight aircraft. This thrilling excursion is the ideal way to provide a group with a unique perspective on Morocco’s dramatic scenery by rewarding top performers with exclusive flights.
