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!

A Truly Unforgettable Experience - Returned for Round Two! After my memorable experience traveling with Burgundy Roots to Egypt, I couldn’t resist coming back for another trip! The place that was high on my list was Jamaica and there was no way I could have chosen a better person to experience Jamaica with, than Wafa. This trip exceeded all our expectations. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized, and every detail was taken care of. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering a wonderful mix of adventure, relaxation, and cultural exploration. I was impressed by the knowledgeable and friendly guides, who made each day informative and enjoyable. The accommodations were top-notch, providing both comfort and charm, and the food was absolutely delightful – every meal was a highlight! The homemade meals were a chef's kiss. What really stood out to me was the sense of community and camaraderie among the group. We had an amazing group of people on this particular retreat and I found that despite our differences, and despite coming from different parts of the world, we created a bond and developed a beautiful friendship that will last for years to come. The shared experiences truly enhanced our trip. I am already looking forward to my next adventure with Burgundy Roots, if God wills.

I had the most special and amazing time on this trip! I went with my sister and the group was just a gift from the universe. Wafa did an excellent job organizing unique and once in a lifetime experiences that I wouldn’t have been able to do, find, or secure on my own. The food was amazing and the team was amazing. Another shout-out to Trivian who absolutely made the trip for me. She was kind, warm, funny, and caring. Highly recommend this experience!

Wafa is so gifted in her art of retreat planning! The care, attention & thoughtfulness she put into every detail was immaculate! This was my first time in Jamaica and it won’t be my last. Based on my soulful & regenerative experience with this retreat, I’m already signing up for 2 other retreats with Burgundy Roots. It was everything we hoped for and beyond!

Where do I start? This trip has been a amazing experience on all levels. Physically, emotionally, spiritually - everythingly. :) Wafa went out of her way to make this trip memorable. Besides wonderful accommodations, great food and fun excursions we were blessed with the presence and Lectures of Prof Butch Ware. This is where the spirituality of this trip comes in. She carefully selected amazing experiences for the group and showed us her love of Jamaica through the things we did with her and the locals. I am very grateful to have met amazing people, friends for life and fun memories forever. I will definitely be booking another trip with Burgundy Roots inshallah. Wafa is a wonderful host and human. She treats you like she would like to be treated, hence you are in good hands. Thank you Wafa, you are doing what you are supposed to do. I had the time of my life. God bless.

I had an awesome experience! Our guide, Wafa, was patient, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. The trip was well organized, and the communication was clear. There was the perfect mixture of adventure, relaxation, and spiritual enrichment. We were immersed in a beautiful environment, and cared for by a warm staff. To top it all off Wafa attracted the most amazing group of participants. I made connections with people from all walks of life, and from many corners of the world. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to participate.

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.
