Itinerary
DayDestinationDescription
Day 1MarrakeshArrive early to explore the monuments of vibrant Marrakesh, from its beautiful tropical gardens to the Koutoubia Mosque.
Day 2ImlilPass the lion-guarded gates and cypress trees of Kasbah Tamandout. Take in the crisp mountain air and spectacular views on a trek up to the remote Armed from the village of Imlil. Looking out to Mount Toubkal, Armed is home for the night.
Day 3Ait BenhaddouFollow in the footsteps of the gold, ivory and slave traders who once stopped in this magnificent clay kasbah on their journey across the Sahara. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this is one of the most beautiful kasbahs in all of Morocco.
Day 4Desert SafariTravel through the stunning Draa Valley and across the shifting sands of the Sahara by camel to a memorable night sleeping under the stars in a desert camp.
Day 5TaroudanntIt's a long drive, but zipping over dunes and past lush oases makes our 4WD drive jeep journey to the red walls of Taroudannt worthwhile. The stunning town is laid-back but highly atmospheric, and its bustling markets are the best place to pick up a souvenir or two.
Days 6-7EssaouiraLeave the verdant valleys of the High Atlas Mountains behind and journey back towards the coast. Picture-perfect Essaouira is a pleasant place to unwind, with its pretty harbour, sandy beaches and whitewashed houses.
Days 8-9MarrakeshThe journey ends where it began - in busy Marrakesh. Take in the brilliant colours, spicy scents and enticing sounds of the souqs, and don't miss a trip to the intricate Saadian tombs.
