Please arrive at the hotel meeting point before 2:30PM. Please plan for your flight to arrive at the airport in Marrakech no later than 12:30PM. Stay: Hotel Les Jardins de Ouarzazate (D)
From Ourzazate we drive to Zagora along rural roads. In Mhamid (Oulad Edriss) we meet the local crew and start the desert journey to Erg Lihoudi. Any luggage will be brought to camp by jeeps. Dinner will be served fireside. The camp is in Erg Lihoudi. Our camps will be comfortable, but still somewhat basic. You’ll see some spectacular night skies. (B/D)
Wake up to a stunning sunrise, enjoy some breakfast at camp and then start the day. This is our second day of the Berber desert journey. Then you have a choice of walking or riding a camel to our lunch stop. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Sahara as you travel like people have for millenniums. After lunch we’ll enter the 21st century again and travel to the next desert camp by 4x4. Arrive at the oasis of Rass Nkhal to catch sunset before having dinner fireside with stories and music. (B/L/D)
After another sunrise out in the desert and some breakfast at camp the group will travel to Zagora by 4x4.

Have dinner as a group in Skoura. Stay: Skoura Lodge (B/L/D)
Travel back to Marrakech and enjoy free morning to see the city. In the afternoon the group will attend a cooking demonstration and learn how to make tanjia, a different form of tagine.

End the day with evening tea on the rooftop terrace overlooking the main square of Jemaa El Fnaa. Stay: Chambres d'Amis Marrakesh (B)
Visit the important sites within the medina this morning. Make stops to Jardin Secret and Bahia Palace. End the morning adventure with a trip to the bakery to learn a brief introduction into Moroccan bread making, then have a taste. Collect your tanjia lunch on the way back to the Riad. Enjoy your own cooking as lunch on the terrace. The afternoon and evening are free for you to explore Marrakech on your own. Don't miss a chance to visit Jardins Majorelle with their vibrant blue garden houses and thriving plants. Stay: Chambres d'Amis Marrakesh (B/L)
Set out on a full day excursion to Ouzoud, a beautiful oasis waterfall near the Atlas Mountains. Walk up the stairs to the top of the falls, enjoy breathtaking views, and then take a refreshing swim in the flowing water.
