Burgundy Roots Tour: A Journey of Luxury, History, and Spiritual Awakening in Morocco My husband and I recently had the privilege of joining a two-week Burgundy Roots tour, a meticulously planned and utterly unforgettable journey through Morocco. From start to finish, this trip exceeded our expectations in every way possible. We traveled as part of a small, intimate group, which made the experience even more personal and enjoyable. Over the course of the trip, we visited five incredible cities: Marrakesh, Marzouga, Fes, Chefchaouen, and Casablanca. Each destination had its own unique charm, and we were lucky to have local guides who were not only deeply knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about the history and heritage of their cities. Their insights into the culture, architecture, and traditions of each place enriched our experience beyond measure. One of the trip highlights was the overnight stay in the desert. It’s not every day you get to ride a camel into the vast expanse of the Sahara, watch the sunset over endless dunes, and sleep in a luxury tented camp. The visit to an oasis was equally magical—an oasis of peace and beauty amidst the vastness of the desert. The sense of serenity was unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. The accommodations throughout the journey were second to none. Riads, inns, and hotels were handpicked for their beauty, comfort, and local charm. Every place we stayed felt like a luxurious retreat after a day of exploration. The traditional architecture of the riads in Marrakesh and Fes was stunning, and the service was impeccable. The food was an experience in itself! Every meal was a feast for the senses—rich in flavor and steeped in tradition. From aromatic tagines to fresh mint tea, everything was prepared with the utmost care. The variety of culinary experiences made each meal a new adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for better dining choices. A truly unique aspect of this tour was the opportunity to attend nightly lectures by Mustafa Briggs, a special guest who led discussions on Al-Ghazali’s book The Alchemy of Happiness. Mustafa’s teachings were deeply enriching, and his wisdom added a spiritual layer to the trip that helped fill our spiritual buckets. His ability to connect the teachings of the book to our experiences on the road was truly profound. Thank you, Mustafa! Overall, this tour was a perfect blend of luxury, adventure, culture, and spirituality. We are so grateful to Wafa and Burgundy Roots for curating such a transformative experience. The care and attention to detail that went into every aspect of the trip made us feel truly special. This journey will stay in our hearts for a lifetime. If you're considering a trip to Morocco, don't hesitate—this is the tour you’ve been looking for!

My recent trip to Morocco, organized by Wafa and her team, was nothing short of phenomenal! Ever since my first trips with her to Jamaica and Mecca, I’ve been blown away by her ability to craft the perfect travel experience. Morocco was no exception—every detail was flawlessly planned, and Wafa has this remarkable talent for uncovering hidden gems that truly make a trip unforgettable. From the vibrant streets of Marrakech to the golden sands of the Sahara, the amazing riads, every stop felt like a dream come true. Her knack for blending culture, adventure, and relaxation is unmatched, and she always ensures you experience the heart, soul and culture of every destination. It’s rare to find someone with such passion and precision in what they do. Don’t hesitate, book your trip !

Seeing pictures from last year’s Egypt trip brought back memories of my time on the trip. I feel so grateful to Wafa for the care and effort she pours into this. Last year, I was craving a solo adventure to anywhere and decided to sign up with Burgundy Roots on a whim. Out of all the travel groups I looked into, this itinerary felt the most unique. It turned out to be such a lucky first choice, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The trip had a perfect mix of everything important to me: adventure, culture, authentic food, shopping, spirituality. I also never expected to meet people I would stay in touch with a year after my trip, still in awe of how such a balanced group was brought together. Each location offered something special, from the energy of Cairo to the sights of Giza to the tranquility of Siwa. Egypt was unforgettable, and I genuinely loved every moment. iA, here’s to more trips in the future!

I traveled with Wafa to do the Umrah... That was such a good experience. This trip is definitely the best by far. She is so professional and a nice person. I definitely recommend it to everyone who wants an experience that could change their life in a good way, bring more love in their heart, a closer connection with God and the chance to meet extraordinary people.

I have been on two Burgundy roots trips so far and I must say, the itineraries are very well thought out. Wafa and her team pay attention to every detail and leave no stone unturned to ensure a truly unique, hands-off and stress-free experience for all attendees. You get to visit some hidden gems , spend time in nature, enjoy delicious food with amazing COMPANY and learn more about Islam while you’re at it. Such a beautiful, spiritually uplifting experience! BEST TRIP(S) EVER!

Traveled with Burgundy Roots this summer to Jamaica and it was everything!!!! Wafa and her team were great! All the experiences and people I meet were a whole vibe. If you're thinking about traveling with them just do it, it will be so worth it.
