Day 4: Ait Ben Haddou/Ouarzazate

Ait Ben Haddou is a ksar (fortified village) and Unesco World Heritage Site that has been the backdrop to many movies. We can enter the village and hike up to the top if anyone wants to, or just see it from the outside.  You will stay nearby and also visit the Atlas Movie Studios, where movies like Cleopatra, Gladiator, Jewel of the Nile, and the series Game of Thrones were filmed.

Day 5: Travel to the Sahara Desert

On this drive, you will travel to the fabulous tent camp in the Sahara Desert and arrive in time for an opportunity to ride on a camel at sunset as you experience the surreal and mesmerizing changing colors over the dunes of sand.  You will be offered a delicious dinner, and then enjoy music and dancing around a fire under the incredible starry night. (If you choose not to ride a camel, we will transport you by 4 x 4 vehicle to the camp.)

Day 6: Skoura (Ksar El Kabbaba)

Today we transfer to the oasis village of Skoura while passing through the Todra Gorges and the Valley of Roses.  There will be time for a traditional hammam or massage before dinner.

You will be staying at the amazing Ksar El Kabbaba (or similar).

Please make plans for an early departure as the rest of us need the vehicle, driver and guide for traveling that day.

Day 9: Travel to Essaouira

Today you will have a lovely 3-hour drive to Essaouira, passing by vineyards and argan trees filled with goats. Essaouira is considered an outstanding example of a fortified town of the mid-18th century. It is an international seaport. Here you’ll have an opportunity to tour and make purchases at an argan production business run entirely by women. As you enter this beautiful town, with its chill vibe, you’ll undoubtedly see kite surfers on the Atlantic Ocean Beach. We will check into lodging, then enjoy dinner in the village.

Day 10: Essaouira

After breakfast you will have the day to explore this charming town with its art galleries, Thuya wood carvers, and retail shops. Stroll along the revetment with its old cannons, and see the beautiful and iconic blue boats. The fishermen come in with their catch-of-the-day and cook it right on the pier! There are many restaurants in the town as well, so you can decide which option you prefer.

Add-On Option: Moroccan cooking class. 

Morocco has the perfect climate for growing wine grapes and produces millions of bottles a year. You will have a chance to sample some, and see a beautiful estate near Essaouira while enjoying lunch in the vineyard. If everyone on the tour wanted this option, we could add it on the way to Marrakech.

Add-On Option: Lunch, wine tasting and vineyard tour.

Day 11: Travel to Casablanca

After this scenic 6-hour drive through the countryside, we will have plenty of time for dinner and relaxing.
