YOUR EPIC ADVENTURE
MARRAKECH MAGIC
DAY 1: Marrakech
Begin your adventure in the ochre city of Marrakech, where ancient traditions meet timeless beauty. Lose yourself in the labyrinthine souks, where artisans craft treasures as they have for centuries. Your expert guide will lead you through Marrakech's most magnificent sites: the ornate Bahia Palace, the stork-guarded ruins of Badi Palace, and the marble splendor of the Saadian Tombs. Discover the intricate artistry of the Douiria and the stunning Medersa Ben Youssef, before visiting the city's oldest monument, the Quobba Almoravide. As evening falls, lose yourself in the magic of Djemaa el-Fna square before returning to your riad for a traditional Moroccan dinner.
ATLAS MOUNTAINS JOURNEY
DAY 2: Marrakech - Telouet -Ait Benhaddou- Agdz (5hr drive)
Journey through the High Atlas Mountains, ascending to 2,200 meters, where ancient salt mines and the ruins of Telouet Palace await. Wind through the dramatic Ounila Canyon to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou. Cross the spectacular Tizi n'Tinififft pass to enter Le Grand Sud, where the lush Draa Valley unfolds below, its emerald palm oases dotted with ancient kasbahs.
Explore the mystical kasbah of Tamnougalt and a traditional Harratin village before settling into our boutique hotel in the heart of the Draa Valley for dinner and rest.
THE DESERT
DAY 3-4: Zagora - Tamegroute - M'Hamid - Erg Chigaga Desert (4hr drive)
Begin your desert journey in the cultural treasures of the region - visiting Amezrou's ancient Jewish quarter and silversmith workshops, followed by Tamegroute's famed emerald pottery studios and the historic Nassiriya library, home to a 10th-century gold-engraved Quran. Share lunch with a local family in a traditional ksour before venturing into the Sahara.
As civilization fades behind you, watch the landscape transform as you approach the mighty dunes of Erg Chigaga. Mount your camel for the final approach to our luxury desert camp, your home for two unforgettable nights. Each private tent features ensuite facilities with hot showers, blending Saharan romance with modern comfort.
Your full day in the desert unfolds at nature's pace with sunrise yoga. Explore the highest dunes by 4x4, discover hidden oases, and savor a lunch in the shade of desert palms. Return to camp for a gourmet dinner under the stars, accompanied by traditional Berber music around the campfire. Fall asleep to the profound silence of the Sahara, broken only by the whisper of desert winds.

Stop in Tazenakht, famous for its traditional Berber rugs, before arriving at the coastal village of Imsouane. Settle into your private villa for a relaxing evening and family style with the ocean off in the distance.
BEACH VIBES + SURF
DAY 6-8: Imsouane
Complete your journey in the bohemian coastal village of Imsouane, where the Atlantic meets ancient Morocco.
