ITINERARY

Welcome to Morocco! Upon arrival at Marrakesh Menara Airport, you’ll be greeted by our team and transferred to your hotel. After settling in, take some time to relax or explore the nearby area at your leisure.

In the evening, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner, where you can meet your fellow travelers and get a taste of traditional Moroccan cuisine. Prepare for the exciting journey that lies ahead!

Today, we’ll dive into the colors and culture of Marrakesh. Start your day at the iconic Majorelle Gardens, designed by Jacques Majorelle and later owned by Yves Saint Laurent. Then explore the stunning Bahia Palace and Ben Youssef Madrasa, two of the city’s architectural gems.

Next, we’ll head into the vibrant heart of the city, wandering through the bustling souks of the Medina and soaking up the sights, sounds, and aromas of Marrakech’s traditional markets. We’ll end the day at the lively Djemaa el Fnaa square, where street performers, food stalls, and market vendors bring the city’s energy to life.

In the late afternoon (around 4:00 PM), we’ll dive into a hands-on cooking class, starting with a visit to a local souk to gather fresh ingredients. With the guidance of an expert chef, we’ll prepare an authentic Moroccan tagine —then sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you’ve prepared.

Start your day with an optional sunrise hot air balloon ride, soaring above Marrakesh and the Atlas foothills as the first light paints the desert and mountains in golden hues. After breakfast, we’ll head to the Ourika Valley, a lush mountain escape dotted with waterfalls, riverside cafés, and traditional Berber villages.

We’ll visit a traditional Berber village, learn about local life, and follow the river up toward the Setti Fatma waterfalls, where you can relax by the water or take a short hike to enjoy the views. Enjoy a scenic lunch by the river before heading back to Marrakech in the late afternoon.

Today we’ll leave Marrakech and journey through the scenic High Atlas Mountains, crossing the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass with its sweeping views and charming Berber villages along the way. Our first major stop is the ancient Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Morocco’s most iconic ksar — featured in films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones.

After exploring its maze-like alleys, we’ll continue to the Skoura Oasis, a lush palm-filled haven dotted with centuries-old kasbahs. Here, you’ll visit the beautifully preserved Kasbah Amridil, one of Morocco’s most remarkable fortresses.

From there, we’ll travel on to the Dades Valley, known for its dramatic red cliffs, winding gorges, and traditional Berber villages. Settle in for dinner and a relaxing night surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery.

After breakfast, we’ll leave the Dades Valley and head toward Tinghir, a picturesque town surrounded by palm groves and traditional Berber villages. Our journey continues to the awe-inspiring Todra Gorges, where sheer cliffs rise dramatically on both sides of the river — a stunning spot for photos and a short walk.

We’ll then continue through Erfoud, known for its fossils and desert landscapes, before arriving in Merzouga at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes. Here, we’ll hop into 4x4 vehicles for a thrilling off-road ride through the golden sands to our luxury desert camp. After a warm Berber welcome and traditional mint tea, settle in and get ready for a magical sunset camel ride across the dunes.

As the sun sinks below the horizon, the colors of the desert come alive — golden, pink, and fiery orange. Tonight, the adventure continues with a campfire dinner, music under the stars, and that feeling of “I can’t believe I’m really here.”

Wake up to an unforgettable sunrise over the Sahara. Enjoy breakfast before kicking off the day with some sandboarding fun down the golden dunes. Those who want extra adrenaline can join an optional quad bike adventure before we say goodbye to the desert.

We’ll then make our way to Rissani, a historic desert town known for its lively souk and as the birthplace of Morocco’s royal family. Explore its colorful market and continue through Alnif, before entering the lush, expansive Draa Valley — one of Morocco’s most scenic regions, filled with endless date palms, ancient kasbahs, and traditional Berber villages.

Our day ends in Agdez, a tranquil town at the edge of the valley, where you’ll settle into your accommodation for the evening, surrounded by beautiful desert landscapes.

After breakfast, we’ll begin our scenic drive back to Marrakesh, passing through the beautiful landscapes of southern Morocco. Along the way, enjoy the stunning views of the Atlas Mountains and traditional Berber villages.

Upon arrival, indulge in the luxurious ritual of a traditional hammam and enjoy a farewell dinner at a local restaurant.

Depending on your flight schedule, you may have some free time in Marrakesh for souvenir shopping or further exploration.

Transfer to Marrakesh Menara Airport for your departure.
