Marrakech

Your Moroccan adventure begins in the vibrant city of Marrakech. Known as the “Red City” for its rose-tinted walls, Marrakech is a lively blend of tradition and modern energy. Wander through the buzzing medina, marvel at the intricate tilework of the Bahia Palace, and soak up the sounds and scents of Djemaa el-Fna square. A family-friendly visit to the Henna Art Café offers a fun introduction to local culture and creativity.

Ouarzazate

Next, travel through the High Atlas Mountains to Ouarzazate, often called the “Gateway to the Sahara.” This cinematic city has been the backdrop for countless films and TV series, and a guided visit to the famous Atlas Film Studios gives you a behind-the-scenes look. With its desert landscapes and historic kasbahs, Ouarzazate offers a completely different view of Morocco’s beauty.

Dades Gorge

Continue on to the dramatic landscapes of the Dades Gorge, where sheer cliffs and rugged canyons reveal a side of Morocco that’s both raw and awe-inspiring. A guided walk through the gorge brings you close to the region’s natural splendour and quiet Amazigh (Berber) villages. It’s the perfect place to slow down, connect with nature, and take in the striking views.

Merzouga (Sahara Desert)

Next, head deep into the desert to Merzouga, the gateway to the vast Sahara. Here, you’ll ride camels over the golden dunes and experience traditional storytelling beneath a sky full of stars. This is a true highlight of the journey, where the stillness of the desert, the warmth of local hospitality, and the magic of the moment come together.

Aït Ben Haddou

Your final stop is Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Morocco’s most iconic ksars (fortified villages). With its striking mud-brick architecture set against the desert landscape, it’s no wonder this spot has featured in many famous films. While here, enjoy a hands-on tagine cooking class, a delicious way to wrap up your journey through Morocco’s culture and cuisine.
