After the meeting you will have free time for an optional midday meal followed by an optional city tour of Marrakech around 2pm. The city tour will include an outside visit of the Koutoubia Mosque which is the landmark of the city, and Ben Youssef Madrassa. Discover the magical souks before ending in the famous square Jemaa El Fna. Enjoy your time here before we meet for dinner at the hotel.

Overnight Marrakech. (Dinner Included).

­

After morning meal at the hotel, we drive west via the highway and have a coffee stop on the journey. On the drive, we will pass some Berber towns through the Massa area, before our arrival in Tafraoute. Once checked in to the hotel, we can have midday meal in a local restaurant in the town. If time allows, we can take a swim then head to Ait Mansour Valley. A peaceful paradise famous for its beautiful landscapes, temperate climate, and valleys that pass through the Anti-Atlas Mountains between the rocky and dry slopes of the hills. A calm atmosphere with trickling sounds of water, historical monuments, spectacular palm groves and flowering almond trees. On arrival here, we will walk through the magical Oasis to learn about what locals grow in their fields. Later in the afternoon, we drive back to Tafraoute, stopping at the iconic, blue-painted rocks.

Overnight Tafraoute. (Breakfast Included).

After an early morning meal, we will make our way through part of the Anti-Atlas Mountains to get to Morocco’s western coastal side of the country, passing by Tiznit, Agadir and Taghazoute. Enjoy scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Berber towns along the way. On our arrival in Essaouira, check in to your hotel and refresh before heading to the old Medina for midday meal in one of the local seafood stores by the harbour. This afternoon, there is free time to explore this beautiful fishing town with its souks, cafes and terraces or add on an adventure with either quad biking, kite surfing, horse riding or a cooking class. The beach is across the road from our hotel if you prefer to relax with a local mint tea.

Overnight Essaouira. (Breakfast Included).

This morning will be free, so you can do more exploration of the coastal town at your own pace. We will meet at the hotel for our departure to tranquil Agafay Desert. The moon-like Agafay Desert is a hidden gem not too far from Marrakech with a rocky landscape and scenic rock formations similar to dunes. You will have a desert experience without needing to travel to the Sahara.

On our arrival we will check into our tents and enjoy the pool or go for an optional camel ride while watching the sunset.

Overnight at Agafay Desert. (Breakfast and Dinner Included).

After morning meal we will drive back to Marrakech. If your flight is in the morning, we can drop you at the airport or alternatively you can explore more of Marrakech’s majestic sights.

(Breakfast Included).
