Marrakech

Breakfast. Beginning of the visit to Marrakech, starting with the outside of the Koutoubia Mosque. Later, we arrive at the semi-old part of the city. We visit the Bahia Palace, built by the vizier Si Moussa for personal use with its more than eight-hectare estate.

Then we take a walking tour through the medina, the old part of the city. We see first hand the different neighborhoods of artisans, as well as the souks and markets that the medina houses. We also visit the Jemaa el-Fnaa square, the main focus of the city and where acrobats, storytellers, juice vendors, musicians and other merchants and artists transform this space into a living spectacle.

Afternoon free.

Day 3
Marrakech · Dadès Gorges

Breakfast and head to the Dadès Gorges. This drive along one of the highest highways in North Africa features the breath-taking scenery of the Atlas Mountains and will take us to the Tizi N’Tichka Pass.

Next, we explore the patchwork of villages, gardens and olive groves around the Skoura Palm Grove. Then, we head to the Dadès Gorges, a group of rugged rock formations and ravines.

Arrival at our accommodations. Dinner included.

Day 4
Dadès Gorges · Erg Chebbi

Breakfast and outing to the desert of Erg Chebbi. On the way we pass by the ruggedly beautiful landscapes of Palmeral and the Todgha Gorges, a favorite of rock climbers.

In Merzouga, we leave the 4×4 behind and take a camel ride to our desert camp.

Head to the Ksar of Aït Ben Haddou, a beauty that intimidates. It’s one of the most identifiable and best preserved adobe fortresses in Morocco and it’s an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
