You’re in the desert! Today, it’s mandatory to wake up early to see the sunrise from the top of the dunes, and then have breakfast. We’ll leave the dunes behind and head towards Tinghir where we’ll visit the Todra Gorges, an ancient sewer system from the 15th century. We’ll also take a look at the palm grove of Tinghir, then continue to the Todra Gorges where we’ll rest. Next, we’ll walk through the city and the Boumalne Dades valley to reach the Dades Gorges. The river has eroded the rocks to create a beautiful landscape. Dinner and accommodation in Dades.

We’ll cross the Dades Valley and the Valley of Roses until we reach Ouarzazate where we’ll visit the Taourirt kasbah and then, after 25 km of road, we’ll see the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous for being the setting for film productions like “Lawrence of Arabia”, “The Sheltering Sky” or “Babel”. We’ll follow the road that crosses the Tichka pass (High Atlas) which will lead us back to the “Red City”, Marrakech. Here you can go out at night to have a first contact with the city. Accommodation in Marrakech.

After breakfast, we have a guided tour of the city of Marrakech: Starting with the Koutoubia Minaret , sister of the Giralda in Seville, splendid harmony and currently the beacon and spiritual center of Marrakech. Then, we’ll visit the Saadian Tombs highlighting its central vault of Carrara marble. Subsequently, we’ll visit the Bahia Palace , an example of aristocratic life in medieval Muslim times, and where its ambassador’s hall stands out, with its cedar wood ceiling. Then, on foot, we’ll head to the “Jemaa el F’naa Square” declared a World Heritage Site. (The city tour starts around 09:00 and ends around 14:00) Free afternoon Accommodation in Marrakech.

Departure from Marrakech immediately after breakfast. Once you have reached this small town, you will be free to explore it on your own, walking among the many crafts shops (Essaouira is famous for its thuja root handicraft and fabrics), the painting and sculpting galleries, and the spice and argan oil markets. Essaouira is only 170 km away from Marrakech, but its uniqueness, colours and peaceful pace of life make it light years distant from the city frenzy of the “red town”. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, it is constantly caressed by the wind all year round (a favourite destination for the lovers of water sports), it is surrounded by powerful ramparts, and encloses in itself a maze of lanes with perfectly white walls and colourful doors, where cats love lying in the sun and being photographed.
In the afternoon, you can visit one of the several female cooperatives of the Essaouira area, where you will have a chance to buy argan-oil products (natural cosmetics and food). For the lovers of photography, a stop will be appropriate to see the famous climber goats climbing on top of argan trees.
