Gay Group Trip: Portugal And Morocco Explorer

Portugal and Morocco are both beautiful countries with long, fascinating histories. Our gay group tip will begin in Portugal, where you’ll discover the city of Porto. This city basically invented port, so drinkers will do well here! It’s full of colourful charming buildings. From Porto we’ll head to Lisbon, a city that’s very much on the rise. It’s fast becoming one of the most popular destinations in Europe. As tourists flood into the city and celebrities buy second homes, Lisbon is going to change. For now it still has an authentic and somewhat ramshackle charm – now is the time to see it! You can enjoy the good life for a lot less in Lisbon.
From Lisbon we’ll fly to Marrakech and explore Morrocco’s vibrant capital city. Curiously, gay travellers used to escape Europe to live more freely in Morocco – up until the 60s it was more tolerant of homosexuality than the US or the UK. How things change! Homosexuality may technically be illegal in Morrocco, but this country is famed for its hospitality. Morocco is full of contradictions, stunning landscapes, friendly people and great food. Combining Portugal with Morrocco makes for a great twin-centre itinerary. You’ll discover the charms of the Mediterranean and North Africa in one trip.
Unfortunately, Morocco criminalises same-sex sexual activity between men and between women. LGBTQ+ individuals are also urged to practice discretion and avoid public displays of affection. While the climate is gradually becoming more accepting, especially in cosmopolitan cities, there have been sporadic crackdowns and arrests in recent years.
Overall, Morocco lacks progressiveness on LGBTQ+ rights compared to other destinations, though luxury hospitality businesses make efforts to welcome gay travelers. At Out Of Office, we only work with resorts and hotels that we know are inclusive and welcoming.
