This is a well-paced, 8-day journey that offers a deep and varied experience of Marrakech and its stunning natural surroundings. The trip is designed with a perfect balance of guided activities, thrilling adventures, and significant free time for personal discovery and relaxation.
You’ll begin by exploring the historic and cultural heart of Marrakech before having a full day to immerse yourself in the city at your own pace, perhaps with a cooking class or a traditional hammam. The itinerary then shifts to the majestic Atlas Mountains for hiking, cultural exchange, and another free day to soak in the serene mountain atmosphere. The adventure quotient is raised with paragliding over Takerkoust and an ATV and camel ride excursion in the unique Agafay stone desert. This is an ideal trip for travelers who want to see the highlights but also value a more leisurely pace with opportunities to relax and choose their own experiences.
