9 Days in Morocco with Queer Connect Travel
This isn’t your typical LGBTQ+ vacation. It’s not a cookie-cutter resort stay or a party-heavy group tour. This is something deeper — a luxurious yet soulful journey designed by queer travelers, for queer travelers.
We’re thrilled to partner with Queer Connect Travel to bring you Moroccan Magic: A Luxe LGBTQIA+ Adventure in Marrakesh & Beyond. Over nine days, you’ll explore vibrant souks and rooftop galleries, share hammam rituals, taste flavors from local kitchens, and venture to the Agafay Desert, Ouzoud Waterfalls, and Berber villages. With a private riad reserved exclusively for our group, this trip blends cultural immersion, luxury, and authentic queer connection.
Moroccan Magic: Culture, Luxury & Queer Connection
This LGBTQIA+ group experience is curated by Queer Connect Travel in partnership with Pride Adventures, offering a safe, affirming space for queer travelers to explore one of North Africa’s most dazzling destinations.
Over nine days, you’ll immerse yourself in Marrakesh’s vibrant souks and rooftop galleries, relax in a private riad, and venture into the Agafay Desert, Ouzoud Waterfalls, and Berber villages. With a blend of cultural discovery, wellness rituals, and unforgettable moments shared in community, this journey is designed to inspire connection, joy, and belonging.
TRIP HOST
Korbyn & Janni - Porto, Portugal
Korbyn and Janni are the queer couple behind Queer Connect Travel, known for curating intentional, community-driven trips that center LGBTQIA+ joy, culture, and connection. With years of experience living in Northern Thailand and now based in Porto, Portugal, they bring a personal, heart-centered approach to every retreat they lead, blending cultural immersion with rest, adventure, and chosen family.
Korbyn & Janni - Porto, Portugal Bio
Korbyn and Janni are the queer couple behind Queer Connect Travel — a platform and experience company dedicated to creating joyful, intentional travel experiences for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Now based in Porto, Portugal, these two seasoned travelers and experience designers bring a deeply personal approach to every retreat they host. Whether leading adventures in Thailand, Europe, or beyond, their focus is always the same: cultivating connection, celebrating queer identity, and building chosen family across borders.
Before founding Queer Connect Travel, Korbyn and Janni spent five years living in Northern Thailand — where they fell in love with the land, the culture, and each other. It was there they hosted their own week-long queer wedding celebration, which inspired the model for the retreats they now offer to their wider community.
Their trips blend cultural immersion, rest, play, and queer joy — intentionally designed for LGBTQIA+ folks of all identities who crave more than just a getaway.
Whether it’s dancing in lantern-lit streets, rafting through jungle rivers, or sharing stories over a slow dinner, Korbyn and Janni create spaces where people feel safe, seen, and celebrated.
Come as you are. Leave with community.
9 Days of Queer Joy, Moroccan Culture & Luxe Riad Life
This isn’t your average group tour — it’s a heart-forward, joy-filled, community-centered adventure made by queer travelers, for queer travelers. Whether you’re gay, trans, nonbinary, ace, bi, pan, fluid, or still figuring it out — you’re welcome here. Come solo, with a friend, or with your partner; you’ll be met with celebration, care, and connection.
Over 9 unforgettable days, we’ll wander spice-scented souks, share hammam rituals, learn to cook Moroccan classics, sip mint tea on sunlit rooftops, dine in the desert beneath a canopy of stars, and explore waterfalls and Berber villages — all while staying in a private riad reserved just for our group.
Days 1–2: Welcome to Marrakesh — Riads, Palaces, & Moroccan Cuisine
Arrive to a warm queer welcome and settle into a private riad for a traditional Moroccan dinner. Explore the medina’s colorful souks before a tour of The Bahia Palace, a historical masterpiece dripping in detail. After soaking up its grandeur, we’ll spice things up at the Moroccan Culinary Arts Museum for a hands-on cooking class.
Days 3–4: Sunrise Soaring, Vibrant Gardens, & Art Galleries
Float over Berber villages in a hot air balloon at sunrise, before exploring Anima – André Heller Gardens, a whimsical blend of art and desert landscapes. Wander and explore the vibrant, bustling souks, step into a converted riad that’s now an eclectic art gallery – enjoying tea and pastries on its sunny rooftop. Then roll up your sleeves in a pottery workshop, learning ancient techniques from Morocco’s clay-rich heritage.
Days 5–6: Ouzoud Falls, Riad Relaxation, & Hammam Wellness
Journey into the High Atlas mountains – enjoying a riverside local lunch in the Ourika Valley, learn about Amazigh traditions, and wander through charming villages before sitting down to experience the best of High Atlas hospitality over a delicious home cooked meal in the mountains.

Day trip to the magnificent Ouzoud Waterfalls. Wander scenic paths, spot monkeys, and enjoy a leisurely lunch with a view.

Slow morning, final souk strolls, and heartfelt goodbyes. Depart with new friends and stories you’ll keep for life.
