About this trip

What you can expect to see and do: 


Our Desert Escape Road Trip retreat will take you across four cities and you’ll come to truly feel the difference between a traveler and a foreigner. Forget the ‘chi chi frou frou’ instagrammable, romanticized Morocco everyone longs for. We want you to connect with our traditional North African culture. Yes there will be breathtaking Riyads, luxurious palaces and Souqs (market places) but what makes Morocco so unique is the warmth of its people and the blend of African, Arab and Berber heritage.  

Our Desert Escape Tour will be a unique 8 day road trip across various cities. Marrakech,  Warzazate, Ait Ben Haddou, Merzouga desert and Todra Gorges.. If you dig a genuine experience; bring a book, a pillow or lover, a friend, podcasts, a set of dominoes and your sense of adventure. 


Travel with heart open and spirit ready, travel Burgundy Roots!

for the last year, i have traveled far and wide as a way of healing the trauma/grief of my husband's Passing...this trip was by far the most healing, nourishing and replenishing of all the trips i have been on...EVERYTHING and i do mean EVERYTHING was an incredible experience...the places we ate were magical and delightful feast not only for the palate, but for the eyes and Spirit as well...the lodging was comfortable, serene and nice...and our group was incredibly harmonious, helpful and supportive...i personally felt safe, looked after and cared for the entire length of the trip...it was great meeting womyn from different parts of the world and that they are Muslim was a Blessed gift...if time and finances allow, i would definitely travel with Wafa/Burgundy Roots again and again...she knows well how to take care of her guests...ASANTE SANA!!! i THANK her for most glorious travel/healing experience...

My experience with Burgundy Roots on my first trip to Saudi Arabia was nothing short of exceptional. The curated travel itinerary, attention to detail, and seamless organization made every moment memorable. Wafa’s personalized care ensured everyone felt comfortable and well-guided throughout the journey. From exploring breathtaking sites to immersing in the local culture, everything was thoughtfully planned. One of the highlights was attending engaging classes led by Mustapha Briggs and other exceptional speakers. Everyone learned a great deal in a fun, interactive way that added depth to the cultural experience. Thanks to this incredible experience, I’m already looking forward to returning and discovering even more. I highly recommend Burgundy Roots to anyone seeking a top-tier travel adventure. Alassane N.

What a beautiful trip! Wafa brought together the perfect group of people to experience such a holy, peaceful and transformative place together. The trip was the perfect blend of time for worship, site seeing and free time. A huge thank you to our guides who made this trip phenomenal. In each city we went, we had the most passionate and knowledgeable guides who really brought the history and significance of the places we visited to life and walked us through the rites and rituals of Umrah, setting us up for success and allowing us to maximize our worship. It was also great having engaging evening classes with Sidi Mustafa and learning about the biography of the Prophet and his relationships with the Sahaba. I cannot wait to return on this trip soon!

This was my first umrah and I am thankful I took this trip with Wafa and her team. I had a wonderful experience and learned so much about the Prophet (pbuh) and his companions. I enjoyed all the trips we made throughout Madinah, Mecca, and Jeddah. My favourite experience was the visiting the date farm and the rawdah in Madinah. Honestly, Madinah has my heart! 💚 I love that we were able to visit so many significant sites and masjids within the 2 holy cities. It was a privilege to visit the cave that the Prophet (pbuh) rest his head and hand upon. Most importantly, Jeddah was the best place to end our tour of Saudia Arabia. Their traditional food was delicious, the locals were kind and welcoming, and their abayas were gorgeous and cheaper than Mecca and Madinah. This is a trip I will never forget! 🥰

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.
