Introduction
Join us for an exhilarating 7 day adventure in magical Morocco. Venture from bustling cities to ancient ruins, sprawling deserts to towering mountain peaks. Soak up the culture, cuisine, history and unparalleled landscapes of this North African gem.
Day 1 - Arrival in Marrakech
Get ready as your Moroccan adventure kicks off in the vibrant city of Marrakech. Check into your accommodation and then head out to explore the city. Stroll around Jemaa el-Fnaa, a bustling market where you can shop for trinkets or taste local tea. Don't forget to haggle - it's all part of the fun! As the sun sets, watch as the square transforms into a massive open air restaurant. It's the perfect introduction to the bustle and beauty of Moroccan life.
Day 2 - Exploring Marrakech
Day two is all about delving deeper into Marrakech. After breakfast, begin a guided tour of the famous Majorelle Garden. Imagine you're a painter as you walk the cobalt blue paths, highlighting bold, rich hues against a lush green backdrop. Next, get lost in the beautiful Bahia Palace - it's a grand vision that will make you feel like royalty.
Day 3 - Journey to Fes
After an enchanting stay in Marrakech, it's time to journey to Fes. Along the way, experience a change in scenery as we pass through the Atlas Mountains. Visit the magnificent Kasbah of Ait-Ben-Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, 'standing' as evidence to the ancient Berber architecture, and enjoy the panoramic views that'll take your breath away. Hitting the road again, our destination today is no less majestic – Fes. Get acclimatized and a good night rest as we have much more exploration tomorrow.
Day 4 - Fes Sightseeing
Dedicate this day to exploring Fes, the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco. Visit the Fes el Bali medina, home to the oldest university in the world! Can you believe that? Then head to the Chaouwara Tanneries where the ancient method of dyeing leather goods is still practiced today. Don't forget to carry a small bunch of fresh mint leaves as the smell can get a bit overpowering. Yes, that's right - we provide smells as part of the experience too!
Day 5 - Sahara Desert Adventure
On Day 5, we venture to the Sahara Desert. En route, stop by the beautiful Ziz Valley and view its lush palm groves. Finally, the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi awaits you, where a camel trek will lead you to a desert camp. Imagine this: sleeping under a carpet of stars in the quiet of the desert. It's like a dream, isn't it?
Day 6 - Back to Marrakech
After a magical night in the Sahara, catch the sunrise over the sand dunes before departing for Marrakech. The journey is long, so relax and soak in the Moroccan landscape as it unfolds. Back in Marrakech, you might want to explore the city further or take the opportunity to relax and reflect on your incredible journey.
Day 7 - Farewell Morocco
On your final day, take a leisurely breakfast. Spend your morning picking up any last minute souvenirs or simply soaking up the atmosphere of Marrakech. As the day closes, bid farewell to this enchanting country that's been your home for a week. As you'll soon find out, leaving might feel harder than arriving. That's the charm of Morocco for you.
