Trip Overview:
This trip offers a great introduction to Morocco, you will experience vibrant Marrakech, visit small Berber villages in the Atlas Mountains and have time to relax and ride camels on the beach.
Imagine the twisting alleyways of an ancient medina, a crowded souk full of colourful pottery and carpets or the sound of a muezzin calling to prayer drifting across an orange plantation. Morocco offers all this and more - complete with a stunning backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. This short adventure provides a fabulous introduction to these exciting highlights. You visit the old walled city of Marrakech and more out-of-the way places that few tourists get to see - such as the remote villages of the Berbers, hidden away in the folds of the Atlas Mountains. Move on to the Atlantic coast to ride camels along the beach and explore the old pirate hideout of Essaouira - packed with colour and atmosphere. This trip offers a real insight into an enthralling and beautiful country.

Crossing the stunning Atlas Mountains you rest in the peaceful Berber village of Ifergane. From here, explore the area on foot or relax in a tranquil guesthouse in the middle of an orange oasis.
Beaches & Camels
Moving on to the coast, spend time on the beaches of Agadir, swim in the sea or try your hand at surfing! (Additional charge). Travelling North towards Essaouira you stop off en route to ride camels along the sand.
Essaouira & Marrakech
The old pirates' nest of Essaouira is a fantastic place to haggle for souvenirs. You can spend your day watching the fishermen, going for walks around the old fort and enjoying delicious seafood. Returning to Marrakech you enter an entirely different world of lively bazaars filled with exotic spices and treasures. At sunset the main square comes to life with snake charmers, acrobats and jugglers in a carnival of entertainment.
