Adventure
Private / Tailor made
Take in the highlights of Southern Morocco and tread into new territory of the Western Sahara.
Absorb the explosion of culture, colour and custom in Marrakech before winding your way through the spectacular Atlas Mountains. Hike through cobbled villages, dine with locals and breathe in fresh mountain air. From Berber hamlets tucked into valleys, to sacred sanctuaries and time frozen village life, your experience will be contrasted as you cross rocky forlorn desert expanses into the disputed territory of Western Sahara. A former Spanish colony, annexed by Morocco in 1975, the further south you head, the city of Dakhla will surprise you with its relaxed vibe. Swaying palm trees, an island studded lagoon and cobalt waters lined with a scattering of cafes and restaurants make for the perfect end to this contrasting journey.]]>

Ahlan wa sahlan and welcome to Morocco! On arrival at Marrakech Airport, your guide and driver will meet you outside the arrivals hall holding a signboard with your name on it. You will then transfer to your hotel to settle in.
Situated to the north of the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and fringing the famed Sahara, the bustling UNESCO-listed city of Marrakesh is an enchanting travel destination. Marrakesh is also home to the largest traditional Berber market in Morocco and one of the busiest squares in the world, known as Djemaa el Fna. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit this square in the evening, as it transforms into an enormous, open-air restaurant, and browse through exquisite carpets, spices and a myriad of other items. Art, design and architecture enthusiasts flock to the city to see its incredible artisan achievements, so beautifully expressed at the glorious Bahia Palace, Dar Si Said and Saadian Tombs, as well as at several museums. The other-worldly Jardin Majorelle is also unmissable.
After some time to freshen up, it is time to set off on your amazing food adventure in the heart of Marrakech Medina. This is a colourful melting pot, where European modernity meets ancient vibes. Follow your taste buds through the medina, as you learn about culinary habits, history and culture, as you taste samples of Moroccan food. Venture behind the scenes of the markets with your local guide, who will provide an insight into Moroccan specialities at hidden stalls in the medina offering fresh olives, to stops by a neighbourhood oven – a bakery where locals cook their bread! Taste some freshly baked bread, before sitting in a local café to try mssemen (Moroccan pankcakes) & sfenj (Moroccan donuts), all washed down with a sweet cup of mint tea. Continuing on, head to the next group of stalls to have a delicious roasted lamb and local famous dish known as Tanjia. Wrap up your foodie adventure with a very special spicy herbal tea known as khoudenjal!

After breakfast, depart for the quaint Berber village of Imlil, in the Atlas Mountains. Taking up most of Africa’s north-western corner, the Atlas Mountains extend for roughly 2400 kilometres across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, reaching to over 4000 kilometres above sea level at their zenith, Toubkal Mountain. The Atlas range is exceptionally scenic and known for the many rare and endangered plants and animals occurring there, some of which are found nowhere else on earth. Here, you will explore some of North Africa’s most remote villages tucked away in the deep valleys of the rugged range and hike through the spectacular scenery. Crossing a vibrant green valley that is fresh and lush even during the hottest days of summer, from Douar Samra (1700m), spend the day following trails to Aremd on foot, the highest village of Ait Mizane, before climbing to the sacred sanctuary of Sidi Chamarouch. Todays hike is moderate. Along the way, you’ll see locals going about their daily lives, as they have for centuries. The walk to the shrine takes 2.5 hours. Learn about the fascinating history of this shrine. There are beautiful places to picnic for lunch nearby (not included), either by the river or with a panoramic view of the mountains and the valley below. Transfer to Tamatert for a walk around the village, before arriving at a small riad where you will spend the evening.
