Fes, with one of the largest, most intact and impressive medieval cities is next on our itinerary. A UNESCO World Heritage site, you will truly feel like you have stepped back in time when you walk through of the gates to the old medina. Visits to both Fes el-Bali (the older, more extensive part) and Fes el-Jedid (the newer, smaller part) medinas are planned as is a visit to the tanneries and the old Jewish Quarter, or mellah, with its synagogues and cemetery.
You’ll spend a night in the desert valley town of Erfoud — but not before passing through some of the most rugged yet picturesque landscapes you’ll ever witness. Along the way you’ll also see the Barbary Macaque and stare in wonder as you travel through Ziz Valley.
It is then onto Merzouga, the gateway to Erg Chebbi — a huge expanse of wind-blown and dunes. You will spend time learning about the local geology of the region and meet with a Bedouin family before settling into your luxury tented camp for the night.
Ouarzazate is the next destination on your Magical Morocco itinerary. Once nothing more than a sleepy camel stop, the town has grown in popularity thanks in part to its proximity to places like Toudra Gorge and Ait Ben Haddou. Also on your itinerary is a visit to Atlas Film Studios, the largest film studio in the world and where countless blockbuster films have been made.
You’ll then journey across the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass — the highest of its kind in Morocco — before descending into Marrakech. This stunning city, with its ocher stucco buildings stretches out from the central square Djemaa el-Fna. Highlights of your time in Marrakech will include the Bahia Palace, the Saadiens Tombs and Majorelle Gardens.
We hope you can join us as we travel around Morocco. For your comfort and touring pleasure, we’ve limited the number of participants to just 60 people. Register today or you will miss out!

Given everything that has happened in the travel industry of late – you’re correct to be vigilant about where you spend your travel dollar.
Amaco is not only a member of AFTA, the Australian Federation of Travel Agents but we are also ATAS Travel Accredited. This means we have met strict industry standards and criteria. Only the best industry agents achieve this accreditation meaning that you can travel with us knowing that you’re in safe and capable hands.
With more than 25 years’ experience in planning and running conferences, we understand that participants often want to add additional travel destinations and adventures either before or after the all-inclusive packages we provide.
Other operators might discourage you from doing this. Sometimes, it’s because of the added complexity it creates and at other times they’ll try to talk you out of it simply because they don’t have capable or experienced consultants with the breadth and depth of the consultants we employ.
Australia is such a long way from many of the places we conference in – so we encourage all participants to make the most of the time away. This might mean departing earlier than the rest of the group and visiting other destinations before meeting up with the main group at the conference or staying on at the conclusion and doing some additional travel.
Either way – our consultants are perfectly positioned to assist you with making these arrangements and will do all the hard work for you – seamlessly combining your personalised itinerary with the group program.
Amaco is an Accredited Education Provider for the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian College of Rural & Remote Medicine.
Each conference we run includes an education syllabus that assists GP’s, pharmacists and health professionals to improve the quality of care they provide to patients and customers while at the same time providing them the opportunity to travel to and experience new and exciting destinations.
Our conference will allow delegates the opportunity to earn CPD points based on the content and time in session. As has been the case with past conferences, we will work closely with participants affiliated with other associations to ensure that they receive maximum recognition for attending the conference.
The content of the education sessions will be relevant to GPs, Medical Specialists, Pharmacists, Dentists, Nurses and other health providers. We encourage all attendees to register for the conference sessions.
The Education Committee for the Magical Morocco Conference will be selected in mid-2022 with final conference topics to be chosen based on the feedback from our previous conference attendees and with input from the RACGP, ACRRM and Medical Journals. Suitable speakers will be approached based on the topics selected.
Subject to final accreditation, the Magical Morocco Conference will include an Accredited Education Activity (formerly Category 1 Activity) affording delegates the opportunity to earn up to 40 points.
ACRRM members can also expect the education program to be accredited and to earn CPD points. RACGP and ACRRM accreditation will be applied for under the triennium 2023 to 2025.
As has been the case in the past, Amaco will work with pharmacy bodies and those affiliated with other associations to ensure that they receive maximum recognition for attending the conference.
We welcome applications from potential presenters and encourage anyone interested to contact us to obtain further information.
