Welcome to Morocco! Upon your arrival at the airport, our team will be waiting to greet you and transfer you to your hotel.

On your second day, after breakfast, we’ll depart from Marrakesh and embark on a scenic drive towards Ouarzazate. Along the way, you’ll cross the breathtaking Tizi n'Tichka Pass in the High Atlas Mountains, offering stunning panoramic views. We’ll make stops at traditional Berber villages and the famous UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a stunning fortress known for its appearances in several films. After exploring the kasbah, we’ll continue to Ouarzazate, often referred to as the "Gateway to the Desert." Upon arrival, you’ll have time to relax or explore the city, including its famous film studios or the impressive Taourirt Kasbah. Overnight stay in Ouarzazate.

It's time to cross into the vast Sahara desert! Drive along the Draa valley until reaching the desert village of Zagora, reflecting the traditional desert life in Morocco. Pass through magnificent dessert villages and take a break at an oasis for a locally prepared lunch. The village is located at the edge of the Sahara desert, where you join a 4x4 jeep safari. Continue on to M’hamid in the Sahara and climb up the sand dunes before heading to your camp. A traditional Moroccan dinner is prepared by the camp staff for you to enjoy under the desert stars.

Wake up to the Saharan sun and take a mental picture to last forever, an astounding day of Saharan adventure awaits! Ride your camel accross the Sahara soak in the magical desert atmosphere and way of life to our next camp in Zagora. Have lunch at a local house in the desert. Make your way back to the campsite for an experience of a lifetime: watching the desert change colour at sunset. Enjoy your Bedouin style dinner and if you're lucky locals may entertain you with traditional songs and dances by the campfire.

Enough of the desert, time to embrace the ocean! Leave the desert sands for the sandy beaches of Agadir and the beautiful vast ocean. A popular sea resort, especially for windsurfers, the town gets 340 days of sunshine a year! Roam the pretty village and markets, and rest up along the southern Atlantic coastline of Morocco.

Hop back on the coach and drive along the charming ocean coast and banana plantations until we reach Essaouira. Morocco’s top sea-side destination, Essaouira has something to offer everyone: water sports, delicious Moroccan seafood, vast beaches and attractive nightlife. Its marvellous citadel is an attraction of its own with breath-taking views of the ocean and tiny local shops scattered all around.

Time to bid farewell to the ocean as you embark on a scenic drive to Marrakech through Argan trees. If you're lucky, you may meet goats climbing the trees! Late in the afternoon you will reach the fascinating city of Marrakech. It is where the Arab city culture meets the Berber culture of the desert and mountain villages. Here, the sub-Saharan traders would trade their wares with European merchants, who would then bring them to Europe. Wear your haggling hats as you discover Djemaa el-Fna Square and brace for the mayhem! Marking the entrance to the huge bazaar, the area is packed with story tellers, snake charmers, acrobats, musicians and folk dancers.

Start your day with a delicious breakfast at your hotel in Marrakesh. If you don't have a morning flight, enjoy a guided tour of Marrakesh with a local guide, exploring the vibrant energy and rich history of this enchanting city. Visit the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, wander through the bustling souks of the Medina, and admire the intricate architecture of the Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs. Experience the lively atmosphere of Jemaa el-Fnaa square, filled with storytellers, musicians, and vibrant market stalls. After a day of exploring the Red City, we will transfer you to the airport for your departure, concluding your memorable Moroccan journey.
