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. Stop by more granaries for a visit en route to Icht, a small town on the edge of the Sahara desert. Enjoy an optional group dinner tonight at the hotel. Stay: Borj Biramane (B/L)

Travel to Zagora today and visit Icht Village along the way for your underground tour. Your local guide will lead you on a walk around the area concluding with tea at their home in the village. Enjoy free time for lunch on your own in the town of Tata, and arrive in the desert landscape of Zagora in time to walk with your local guide to the comfortable desert camp. Enjoy welcome tea and pastries while you watch the sunset. Dinner will be served tonight at camp. Make sure you do some night sky gazing in a place with very little light pollution. Stay: Hotel Zagour - Camp (B/D)

Witness sunrise in the desert then have breakfast before departing camp via a camel ride through the dunes. Arrive to a local family's oasis and enjoy a traditional welcome before a cooking experience hand in hand with members of the family. Learn about their culture and lifestyle, as the group waits for lunch to be ready. 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. Arrive at Aït Bouguemez in the late afternoon and enjoy this beautiful part of Morocco in the High Atlas Mountains with its strong ties to Berber culture and traditions.

Trip Inclusions

  • Visit the historic ksar of Aït Ben Haddou along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech.
  • Hike along trails in the High Atlas Mountain area of the country.

  • Your G for Good Moment: Zarbiat Achbarou Cooperative Visit, Marrakech
  • Your Welcome Moment: Meet Your CEO and Group

  • Aït Ben Haddou Kasbah Tour
  • Iminifri Natural Bridge Hike
  • Aït Bouguemez Valley Hike & Granaries Visit
  • 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!

  • CEO (Chief Experience Officer) throughout

  • 8 breakfasts, 4 lunches, 5 dinners

  • Private vehicle, camels, walking

  • Accommodation, itinerary and inclusions subject to change.
  • Price is for land, cruise and internal flights as specified. Flights not specified are not included
