Departing from your hotel or riad in Marrakech by 4x4 for Agdez, we cross the High Atlas via the Tichka Pass. We stop at several kasbahs along the way, including Kasbah Talweet. Now in ruins, after the last Pacha fled the country and the French left, it belonged to the Galaoui family, known as the Masters of the Atlas. We continue on to Ait Ben Haddou, along the Onela valley, to discover Morocco's most famous Kasbah. We take picturesque, winding roads through the Atlas Mountains. We continue south to Agdez and the entrance to the Draa Valley.
Departure After breakfast, we take the ancient caravan route, passing through desert villages and gardens. You'll observe the local way of life as you travel through oases. We continue to M'Hamid, at the gateway to the Sahara desert, and stop at our superb camp, Nakhla, for lunch. You'll walk by camel, then continue by 4x4 through the Chegaga dunes. Then we continue our journey away from civilization: you'll be in the desert, where silence and vast expanses reign. You'll spend the night in a Bedouin tent to experience life in the desert.
We cross the Sahara, the rocky desert and the dry lake of Ireki. We head north to Tzanakht via Foum Zquit, famous for its Berber carpets. Then on to Taliouine, in the heart of Morocco's saffron-growing region. Lunch and on to Taroudant for the night in a riad or hotel.

We continue along the valley of the Souss river through the argan forest that supplies the essential argan oil industry.

On arrival in Essaouira, you'll explore the town and medina at your own pace, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the bohemian boutiques and cafés. Stroll along the seafront, lined with restaurants serving fresh fish caught in the Atlantic Ocean.
This morning, we took advantage of our free time to drive to Essaouira. Afternoon transfer to Marrakech. Dinner and accommodation in Marrakech

Surrounded by gleaming red walls, it's known as the "red city". Marrakech gave its name to the Kingdom of Morocco. Koutoubia: Visit one of the largest mosques in the Islamic East. Palais de la Bahia: Built in the late 14th century, this palace is surrounded by an 8-hectare garden, and comprises a succession of luxurious secret apartments that open onto inner courtyards. Saadian tombs: Several mausoleums were built in the 18th century to house the remains of thirteen kings of the Saadian dynasty. The beautiful souks of Marrakech: crammed into the heart of Marrakech, the traditional economic hustle and bustle of life, where everything is hidden and yet everything can be seen. In the streets of the Medina, you'll find craftsmen and above all artists, jewelers, dyers, blacksmiths, carpenters... The magnificent Jemaa El Fna
Excellent, probably the best yet.
