Itinerary

Morocco’s dramatic contrasts come alive on this eight-day adventure tour, beginning and ending in the vibrant city of Marrakech. Traverse the country’s most iconic destinations, from the ancient kasbahs of Aït Benhaddou and the cinematic landscapes of Ouarzazate to the sweeping oases of the Draa Valley, rugged Tafraout, breezy Essaouira, and the legendary Sahara dunes at Erg Chegaga.

Your itinerary is a tapestry of Morocco’s varied geography. Experience fertile plains, the formidable Atlas Mountains, and the ever-changing Sahara, with opportunities to discover hidden oases and traditional Berber culture along the way. The highlight for many travelers comes on day four: an exhilarating off-road adventure in the Sahara, where golden dunes stretch as far as the eye can see and the silence of the desert is profound.

From bustling souks and UNESCO-listed medinas to tranquil valleys and Atlantic shores, this trip is designed to showcase the depth and diversity of Morocco. Guided sightseeing, comfortable accommodations, and expertly arranged logistics mean you can immerse yourself in local experiences, whether exploring ancient trade routes or sampling fresh seafood by the coast.

Offering a rare balance of adventure, culture, and natural beauty, the USP of this tour package is its seamless journey across Morocco’s must-see regions paired with the thrill of a Sahara off-road excursion—an ideal choice for travelers longing to experience the country’s full spectrum of wonders.
