nomad travel workshops in marrakech

An adventurous way to explore Marrakech.

The 'Nomad' travel workshops are a perfect way to discover the city of Marrakech and it's surroundings in an alternitive and authentic way.
In April and October we will organize two different workshops;
The well known Cool Crochet workshops for the 9th and 10th edition.
The Green Gardens workshops are also on repeat this year and we will show you the abundant green side of Marrakech during your stay in the Red City.

A lot of former participants enjoyed this way to travel 'alone' to Marrakech and discover the unknown with a group of international women.

For some women it's a huge adventure to travel to Nothern Africa by themselves and this is a perfect opportunity to face this adventure.

We have a few places available for adventurous women.
Below you can find more information about the nomad workshops.

To make the green theme complete, we will also organize a veggie cooking workshop under the banana trees (including vegetables & herbes shopping in de souk). We will make an adventurous bike ride to the gigantic palm grove and a roadtrip to the Atlas Mountains. All the participants will get an herbarium notebook, in which they can make daily sketches and collect green memories, such as leaves and seeds.

You will be surprised how green the Red City actually is. Urban jungle adventures with guided tours and delicious moroccan food, make this green travel-workshop unforgettable!
