15 Days of Freedom, New Friends, and Beautiful Moroccan Light
Our Solo Photography Tour Morocco is the perfect trip for solo travelers who love photography, meaningful moments, and traveling at their own pace but with the comfort of a small group and a friendly guide.
On this Morocco photo tour You’ll start in Casablanca and journey through ancient cities, blue mountain towns, golden deserts, and lush valleys all while meeting kind locals, sharing meals, and capturing photos that feel true.
No need to worry about being alone. From day one, you’ll be part of a small group (max 6 people) of like-minded travelers. Everyone is here for the same thing: to see deeply, connect gently, and go home with images and friendships that last.
Whether you use a phone or a camera, this adventure is about slowing down and saying yes to new experiences, also discovering Morocco one quiet sunrise, warm cup of tea, and real human smile at a time.
