Day 1: Exploring Marrakech
Your private tour guide will meet you at your accommodations to take you on a private tour of the souks of Marrakech. They will provide an in-depth history of Medina - explaining how it has changed over time while highlighting what has remained unchanged for centuries. You'll have the opportunity to meet various artisans who continue creating works of art using traditional methods passed down through generations. Additionally, your guide will share insights into the daily lives of Moroccans still living inside Medina today. This approximately 5-hour tour includes visits to Bahai Palace, Le Garden Secret, Dal El Bacha Museum, Jemaa el-Fnaa square and Jardin Majorelle - all personalized according to your preferences.
Day 2: A Memorable Morning
Begin your day with a breathtaking balloon ride over the Moroccan countryside at daybreak - an unforgettable experience not to be missed! Although it requires an early start, it's well worth it for witnessing sunrise over the mountains. Your private driver will pick you up from your riad (traditional Moroccan house), taking you directly to the balloon. Afterward, return to your riad to freshen up and take a quick break before participating in a cooking class. Learn about local markets, how locals shop for their food, and their culinary preferences. Then try your hand at making your own Tagine (a traditional Moroccan dish cooked in a clay pot). In the afternoon, you can explore the souks or indulge in a relaxing Hammam (traditional Moroccan steam bath).
Day 3 Essouira Day Trip
After breakfast, your private driver/guide will arrive at your riad to take you on a day trip to Essouira - approximately a 2-hour drive from Marrakech. Explore the bohemian-style souks of Essouira where many talented artists have shops and galleries. The pace of Essouira is laid-back, allowing you to take your time and explore at your own pace. For those seeking adventure, there are options for quad biking or horseback riding along the ocean. Whatever suits your style, we can arrange it.
Day 4: Exploring Atlas Mountains
Once again after breakfast, your private driver/guide will pick you up from your riad for an exploration of the Atlas Mountains. Visit and have lunch with a Berber family to experience their way of life firsthand. Take in waterfalls, Imlil Valley & Moulay Brahim before returning home. This full-day excursion includes numerous stops with plenty of interesting sights and experiences.
Day 5: Agafay Desert
On this final day of adventure, after breakfast, your private driver will pick you up from your riad once more to take you into the Agafy desert region. Here you'll have the opportunity for exhilarating quad bike rides (if desired) and camel rides across sandy dunes as well as witness an awe-inspiring sunset before enjoying a delicious dinner under starry skies.
Your driver will then safely return you to your riad in Marrakech, concluding this magical 5-day journey.
