Trip Overview: 

This trip has a lot of highlights and is a great introduction to Morocco. Experience the bustling bazaars of Marrakech, the grand kasbah at Ait Benhaddou and the traditional tanneries and markets of Taroudant. You will enjoy beautiful Atlas scenery staying in a Berber village and hiking through the mountains. Then in complete contrast experience the vast Sahara desert, reaching your nomad camp by camel ride and sleeping under the stars is a great adventure. Coastal Essaouira is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the trip.

Marrakech & Atlas Mountains

Arriving in Morocco you head to Marrakech and discover the lively bazaar and colourful main square, the Djemaa el-Fna, that comes to life at sunset with snake charmers, jugglers, musicians and acrobats. You’ll then head to the Atlas Mountains and hike to the birthplace of a medieval saint.

Ait Benhaddou

Discover the village of Ait Benhaddou, where red-towered kasbahs are dramatically set on a hillside. This stunning area of Morocco was used as the setting for the film ‘Gladiator’.

Desert & Essaouira

Driving through the Draa Valley you reach the Oasis town of Zagora on the fringe of the Sahara. Onwards along rugged mountain ranges and across seas of sand with an occassional oaisis. A nighttime camel trek takes you to your nomad camp where you sleep under the stars like a true desert explorer. Finally the atmospheric port of Essaouira with its dramatic ramparts, Atlantic Ocean, quiet backstreets and expansive beach offers a great place to relax before returning to Marrakech.
