Saturday. Upon arrival at Marrakech airport you will be met and transferred to our hotel. The Welcome Meeting at 18:00 this evening provides the opportunity to meet your guide and fellow travellers before dinner.
Marrakech - Ait Benhaddou. After breakfast we set out on our journey across the High Atlas Mountains to legendary Ait Benhaddou, a fortified village situated along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech. Granted UNESCO World Heritage listing, the site has been the setting for many films including Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator. After lunch and time to relax by the pool we enjoy a guided tour of this remarkable site, exploring the ancient winding alleys, towers and kasbahs - a handful of which remain inhabited today.
Ait Benhaddou - N'kob. After breakfast, we depart our hotel and journey towards the Berber Oasis of N'kob, located at the foot of the Jebel Saghro mountains, nestled amongst the exotic palmeries. Here, we have time to explore N’kob’s 45 mudbrick ksour’s (fortified village) and learn about Ait Atta Nomad’s and their way of life. The rest of the afternoon is at leisure to walk through the Palmerie where you can soak up the stunning views and have tea in a local family’s home. Alternatively you can head back to the hotel to relax for the afternoon.
N'kob - Merzouga. Today we head towards the mighty Sahara Desert stopping en route for lunch, and in summer we may have time for a swim. In Merzouga we transfer to camels for an incredible trek across the vast Erg Chebbi dunes for a night at our authentic Berber Camp. An experience that is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression on travellers young and old! We enjoy a relaxing evening in the desert; we can scale the giant sand dunes and watch an incredible sunset before settling down to enjoy local food and listen to Berber music. Tonight we camp under the glittering Saharan stars.
Merzouga - Todra Gorge. Leaving the desert, we travel to Todra Gorge today. This 1000ft gorge is hemmed in on all sides by vertical limestone cliffs and is known as Morocco’s Grand Canyon. From its plunging depths to dizzying heights, the charm of Todra lies in its changing colours as the sun slowly moves from east to west. There's time to take in the gorge before we head to a traditional Berber cooperative nearby. You can learn how these ancient rugs are made and perhaps even buy one to bring home. There's also an optional Moroccan cooking lesson at lunchtime.
Todra Gorge - Ouarzazate. After breakfast, we head off along the road into the Roses Valley, famous in Morocco for its roses. Here we can stop to see a variety of different rose products. before we make our way to Ouarzazate - the Hollywood of North Africa. There's an optional visit to its famous film studios, which have been used for films such as The Kingdom of Heaven, Alexander the Great, The Last Temptation of Christ, and The Living Daylights.
Ouarzazate - Marrakech. Today we make an incredible journey over the High Atlas Mountains back to Marrakech. The afternoon is free to spend at leisure before dinner at one of the restaurants in Djemaa el Fna Square, the exuberant market place which literally springs to life in the evenings. Filled with spicy aromas, exotic music, market stalls, snake charmers, magicians, storytellers and more, it is undoubtedly the liveliest and most captivating attraction in Morocco!
Marrakech. This morning there's an optional guided tour of Marrakech, visiting the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, Bahia Palace, and the bustling Jewish quarter, Bookable locally for 200 dirhams. Alternatively spend the day independently exploring the city, shopping in the souks, or relaxing by the pool.
