Explore the kasbahs, the coasts and the nearby places. The package includes accommodation and transportation during the whole trip.
Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive at any time.
On arrival, check the notice board (or ask reception) for the exact time and location of the group meeting.
Afterwards, there will be the possibility to go out for a meal as a group in a nearby local restaurant.
If you arrive late, no worries, your leader will leave you a message at the front desk.
Day 2: Travel west into the desert, and stop off at Nkob, which is flanked by the Saghrou Mountains.
Breakfast only included.
Day 3: Head off on a camel ride into the dunes. Watch the sun go down from atop the dunes, and spend the night in a Berber camp.
In late afternoon, set off by camel to a desert camp deep in the dunes. Learn to tie a turban to keep the desert sun off your face and add a little flare to photos.
Enjoy a warm welcome (with mint tea). A traditional dinner under the stars, cooked by our hosts, awaits. In the evening, listen to stories about life in this region and, perhaps, some traditional music on the drums.
Breakfast and dinner included.
Day 4: Walk through local village farmland near Todra to learn about the local way of life.
Rise early to get on the trusty camels. Watch the sun rise before returning to Merzouga.
Depart early from the camp. Make the first stop of the day at Tineghir to visit the town and go for a walk through the palm groves.
Then head to the breathtaking Todra Gorge to spend the night nestled between the sheer cliff walls among the palm trees and gurgling river.
This serene spot is great for hiking, relaxing on the edge of the river or sampling some local Berber delicacies.
Breakfast only included.
Day 5: Get lost exploring the kasbah in the Atlas Mountains. Optional Moroccan cooking class.
Travel along the “Route of 1000 Kasbahs” to the thriving town of Ouarzazate for a lunch stop. This town is home to Atlas Film Studios, where many films have been shot over the years, including “Lawrence of Arabia” and “Gladiator.”

In the morning, don’t miss the colourful and lively spectacle of the return of the boats to the port, with their baskets full of fish. Afterwards, head up to the ramparts on the old city wall for a great view over the city and out to sea. Browse the shops and art galleries or take a stroll along the long, sandy beach. This is the perfect place to unwind and relax with a cold beer or shisha pipe (waterpipe). The active might choose to take a surfing or windsurfing lesson, hire a fishing rod or just take a long walk on the beach.
In the evening, head to one of the local barbecue fish cafes where you can pick out the catch of the day and have it cooked to perfection for an amazing seafood dinner. Essaouira is also famous for its music scene and offers a great chance to check out a live performance.
