Minimum 2 travellers · private departure · flexible dates
Morocco's range without four days in the car. One night under canvas in the Agafay, then Marrakech as the base for everything else — the High Atlas on the second day, the medina on the third, Essaouira and the Atlantic on the fourth. You unpack once, and no drive is longer than three hours.
- A night in a luxury tent in the Agafay, forty minutes from the city
- Lunch under Toubkal, and a walk or a mule in the Imlil valley
- Bahia, the Saadian tombs and Jemaa el-Fna, with time to wander
- Essaouira: the Skala ramparts, the port, and fish straight off the boats
Day by day
-
Day 01
Marrakech · Agafay
Met at Ménara and driven straight out to the Agafay — stone desert rather than sand, with the Atlas along the horizon. Camels at sunset, a traditional dinner, and the night in a luxury Berber tent.
-
Day 02
Agafay · Imlil · Marrakech
Up into the High Atlas by Asni to Imlil, under Toubkal. Lunch with the mountain in view, then a guided walk or a mule up the valley. Back in Marrakech for the evening.
-
Day 03
Marrakech
The Bahia palace, the Saadian tombs and the Koutoubia from the outside, then the souks at your own pace and Jemaa el-Fna once it fills up after dark.
-
Day 04
Essaouira
Three hours west to old Mogador. Fish off the boats at the port, the Skala ramparts and the medina, and an hour on the beach before the road back.
-
Day 05
Majorelle · Ménara
The Majorelle garden and the Yves Saint Laurent museum if the weather holds, a last hour in the medina, then the transfer to the airport.
