Itinerary
Arrive at any time. Attend a welcome meeting at the joining hotel in the evening before an optional group dinner to get to know your fellow travellers. Stay: Hotel Oudaya Marrakech
Travel to Tiznit today, a town on the west coast of Morocco known for its silver jewelry, and mint daggers and sabres. Along the way stop for a visit to Souk EL Had and have lunch there on your own before continuing on. Visit the local silver market upon arrival and the historic medina in Tiznit. Spend the remainder of the day on your own to explore the narrow alleys and enjoy the town's gorgeous natural landscapes surrounded by mountains. Stay: Idou Tiznit (B)
Leave Tiznit behind and visit the Granaries of Tigida before travelling to the remote Berber oasis of Amtoudi. Here, the group will have lunch with a local family in the village.

Before heading back to Zagora, the group will visit an old library to learn about ancient books from The Middle East and Africa that are a thousand years old. Then, spend time at a pottery workshop in the village, and discover a unique and preserved way of shaping clay. Return to the dunes nearby for an epic sunset (if the weather allows). Stay: Hotel Zagour (B/L/D)
In the morning begin your travels to Aït Ben Haddou. Stop along the way in Ouarzazate where the Atlas Film Studio is and take some free time for lunch on your own. Arrive at Aït Ben Haddou in the late afternoon and visit the Ksar, a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls. Enjoy the sunset at this spot before having dinner at the hotel with the group. Stay: Rose Du Sable (HB) (B/D)
Transfer to the town of Demnat this morning and embark on a hike from this cultural crossroads to the Imi nifri Waterfalls and impressive natural bridge.

- All transport between destinations and to/from included activities
- Hotels (7 Nights), Desert Camp (1 Night)
- On this trip you can expect to stay in local hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. Where a town has both an ancient medina and a "ville nouvelle" we generally stay in the ville nouvelle, both because the standard of hotels is higher, and because travellers (especially women) often find the medinas at night a little confronting. Please note that Morocco is a developing country and as such the infrastructure is not as reliable as you would expect at home. Expect quirky plumbing and the odd cold shower!
