Detailed Itinerary |
Day 1 Marrakech Welcome to Marrakech, the
town where the Arab culture of the cities meets the Berber
culture of the mountain villages; where the weary sub-Saharan
traders (carrying gold, salt and slaves) would ply their
wares to the merchants who took them to Europe. This evening
you will meet fellow travellers and tour leader, who will
brief you on the next few days of your journey.
Day 2 Marrakech, M’hamid (D) After breakfast we
depart for M’hamid, the desert village reflecting the
traditional life of Morocco. The village is located at the
edge of the Sahara and and “52 days by camel to Tombouctou”.
After sharing our experiences with our travel mates and
dining under a starry sky, we stay in sedentary tents
portraying the authentic local life of the Sahara.
Day 3 M’hamid, Chigaga Jeep Safari (L, D) An
amazing day at the Moroccon desert. In the morning we join a
4x4 jeep safari through the magnificent sand dunes. We may
even have the opportunity to visit one of the nomad families
who live in hand-woven goat hair tents. We have lunch at the
Oasis and then continue to Chigaga in our 4x4 jeeps, a 40
km-long stretch of huge 300 m high saharian dunes, through
the arid plains and sands. In the evening we check into our
nomad tent camp, based at the largest dune called “ocean
without water” and have dinner under the desert stars.
Day 4 M’hamid Camel Trek (L, D) Another amazing day in the
Moroccon desert ! Today we join a full day camel trek in the
Sahara and enjoy the adventurous atmosphere of the desert
life. We have lunch at the desert and we then make our way
to our bivouac at an Oasis where an awesome experience
awaits us : watching the desert change colour under the
sunset, staring a billion stars in the night sky, or
listening to the silence of the desert before the sun comes
up...
Day 5 Chigaga, Jeep Safari, M’hamid, Taroundant, Agadir
Today we safari back to M’hamid, then drive in our mini bus
along the Oasis passing palm groves, Berber villages and
kasbahs to Taroundant and continue through the High Atlas
mountains until we reach Agadir, Morocco’s number one sea
resort. With over 340 days of sunshine a year, situated on
the southern part of Morocco’s Atlantic coastline, Agadir
offers a lot for everyone : water sports, delicious Moroccon
sea food, fantastic beaches and attractive nightlife.
Day 6, Agadir, Essaouira After a scenic drive along
the Atlantic coast through “Argane Trees Forests” and
“Bananas Plantations”, we arrive in Essaouira, the most
popular wind-surfing destination on the Atlantic Ocean.
Essaouira is still serene, friendly and charming. Wander
through tall white houses with yellow detail and blue doors,
narrow streets and the ramparts that protect most of the
town. Savouring grill sardines and fish at the Essaouira
port is a spectacular way to spend the evening.
Day 7 Essaouira, Marrakech Today we depart for
Marrakech. In the afternoon we will visit Djemaa el Fna
Square - filled with story tellers, snake charmers, acrobats,
musicians and folklore dancers. We remain in Marrakech
overnight.
Day 8 Marrakech Our trip concludes after breakfast in
Marrakech. |
