8-night (Busy) Itinerary - Superior

Staying in comfortable hotels, you will travel from Marrakech to the coast, visiting and staying in both Oualidia on its stunning lagoon and in Essaouira, with its famous Portuguese-built fortified medina.  Then onto Taroudant and the charming 'Riad Dar Zitoune Hotel'.  A spectacular drive to Ouarzazate on the edge of the Sahara, where you will be able to get a real feel for the south of Morocco; your hotel is on the water front of a lake.  Back to Marrakech for a night in a charming small riad called 'Les Yeux Bleus'.

A busy tour around some of Morocco's loveliest places driving yourselves (or with a driver at additional cost).

- This itinerary is a suggestion and can be adapted to your preferences.
- The suggested Things-to-do by each hotel are suggestions based on the hotel's location, and are not included in the guideline tour cost.
- This itinerary includes a group A (small) self-drive car which will be delivered to your hotel after your initial nights in Marrakech. We can provide an English-speaking driver for the duration and, of course, larger cars or 4 X 4 are also available.
- Most hotels insist on minimum stays over the Christmas, New Year and Easter periods so some of the short overnight stays may not be possible at these times.

Client review Toubkal foothills Atlas mountains

Trek in Atlas foothills.

Dear Max,

Thank you for organising our trek/trip.  It was fabulous and all went seamlessly.  The hotel was kind enough to give us a room upgrade and a late check out, so all good there too.

We would love to do one again next year.  If we were to be really critical, we were disappointed not to have a fire …
