Itinerary
| Arrive Marrakesh. Fly into Casablanca and continue onward to Marrakesh, or fly directly to Marrakesh. Following your first day's rest, let the adventure begin! The next day, you will have a half or full-day guided tour of the Marrakesh Medina. You will be visiting Koranic Schools, ancient tombs, and gardens of times gone by. Enjoy the lively Jma el Fna Square at night where performers come to life and where you'll be able to sample Moroccan food at the many food stalls. | |
| (As Day 1) | |
| Zagora. Today, you will be picked up in the morning in Marrakesh. From there, a drive over the High Atlas Mountains is stunning, foowed by a trip down the Draa Valley to Zagora where you'll be staying in a lovely bed and breakfast. If it's hot, relax in the shade of the gardens or take a dip in the pool. The drive today is six hours. | |
| Tamegroute - Mhamid - Sahara Desert Camp Out. A couple more hours to M'hamid, which is the starting point of the camel trek. This edge of the Sahara Desert is quite different than its sister spot in Merzouga. The dunes roll, but the landscape is more rocky and barren. The area is known as Erg Lihoudi. After getting fitted with your favorite camel, be prepared to gallop, ever so slowly, into the desert. You'll have the opportunity to enjoy a meal under the stars, and sleep in a rustic nomadic tent. Visit the holy town of Tamegroute along the way, known for its library with ancient manuscripts, and green pottery. The total drive today is two hours. | |
| Ouarzazate. After arriving in Ouarzazate, enjoy a refreshing swim, or head out to the Atlas Studios for a unique look at Morocco's own | |
| Taroudant. Upon arriving in Taroudant, you will notice that the town has a different feel than the other Moroccan cities. For starters, it does not have a European feel or city centre like other well-visited areas of the country. The city has a beckoning landscape with mountains on the horizon. In total, it will take around six hours of travel time from Ouarzazate. | |
| Agadir - Morocco Surf Camp. Today's short travel takes you to Agadir, Morocco's sun capital; boasting 320 days of sunshine per year. And, with all the recent flights from European capitals, it is doing nothing but booming. However, you will be outside of all the commotion and be able to enjoy a relaxed stay and take surfing lessons, whether you're a beginner or not. The drive to the surf camp will take less than two hours. Today is optional and the itinerary can be shortened to skip straight to Essaouira. | |
| (As Day 7) | |
| (As Day 7) | |
| Essaouira. Head for more fun in the sun in Morocco's wind capital of Essaouira.

In the latter, you can learn to make Moroccan cuisine at a women's cooperative based in the wind-swept town. The drive will take three hours. | |
| (As Day 10) | |
| Marrakesh or Casablanca. Today, you will make your way back to Marrakesh for any last-minute gifts or souvenirs, or head straight to Casablanca. The drive to Marrakesh takes three hours, plus three more if you are traveling to Casablanca. | |
