Aussies In Morocco Tours

Cafe proprietor sitting on his cafe's steps. ☕️

Excellent concept, poorly executed, as the image (in particular the eyes) are slightly blurry. However it was one of the first I ever took after my photography studies so I will cut myself some slack.

Tangierians are much more sanguine about having their photo taken than other Moroccans.

A few examples of the many engravings at the Foum Chenna site.

The second image seems to be the subject of multiple interpretations. I think it is a hunt of gazelles using drums to corral the prey through fear and spears with which to kill them.

We used water 💧 to highlight the engravings because that was the same as rain 🌧️ , but did not otherwise touch them.

Another view of the Foum Chenna engravings site. It is a remarkable site even without the engravings.

This is the Foum Chenna engravings site, south of Agdz and Zagora. It depicts thousands of engravings from an earlier time in Morocco's history when gazelles, giraffes 🦒 , horses 🐴 and other animals grazed here. There are also writings in an ancient script. The sheer number of engravings may surprise as well as their ongoing clarity, despite the effects of the elements over thousands of years.

This nature, nurture and creativity tour is designed to be more of a gentle pace. Nonetheless due to the inclines and declines of the north, reasonable mobility and fitness is required to have the full benefit of the experience.

Bookings close February 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ or when tour is full, whichever is earlier. Contact us for details: [email protected]

A few things to bear in mind in doing a tour of Chefchaouen.

1️⃣ Be prepared for lots of steps. However you can take a general downward direction and then get your car 🚙 to pick you up at the bottom and drive you to one of the car parks up the top.
2️⃣ Chefchaouens are particularly sensitive about being photographed. 📸 Even the back is considered sensual. Be very careful about this.
3️⃣ The benefit of a *local* guide is that knowing all the ins and outs, gives you as the customer, more freedom about where you can go and what liberties you can take.
4️⃣ I always say that despite the instragrammers and the pot smokers, there is a prevailing religiosity ☪️ in this town if you can switch into it.
5️⃣ It has an interesting Andalusian history and for example, you meet Moroccan residents with Jewish ✡️ surnames whose families converted to Islam centuries ago.
6️⃣ I would say that Moulay Idriss Zerhoun is the non-touristy version of Chefchaouen. Chefchaouen is touristic.
7️⃣ The locals are very proud of the blueness 🔵 and go to considerable lengths to maintain it.

Took this photo one day whilst with a photography mentor in the Marrakech medina, searching for moments and juxtapositions.

A photography teacher once advised to look for lines leading to a moment. Best advice for a beginner photographer.

The cacophony of colours and patterns here is beautiful.

It is a pity the lady is a bit cut-off but then that emphasises transience doesn't it and temporality is one of the most beautiful aspects of Art. ⏳

Also seen on Rainbow 🌈 Street in the Fez medina. One can discern an exotic bird behind and in the front a gazelle on the left and perhaps it is a dog 🐕 in the foreground at the right (see the tail).

The tour is slightly underpriced from our perspective. For subsequent tours the costing methodology has switched up.

October tour has one room left only.

We are now also offering it 5-20 November 2025, same price so as to avoid confusion.

If of interest please contact [email protected] while there is still availability.
