Camels, Souks & Kasbahs
Countries: Morocco
Enjoy fifteen diverse days exploring medieval cities, ancient Roman ruins, labyrinthine souks, colourful medinas and colossal mosques with time to spare for a camel trek into the mighty Sahara Desert.
Beginning in the Imperial city of Marrakech, we journey north to Casablanca, made famous in the 1940s by actor Humphrey Bogat and Ingrid Bergman. Rock the Kasbah and a palace too, in Morocco’s capital with a visit to Oudaia before heading on to the royal city of Meknes where we explore ancient Roman ruins. Journey high into the Rif Mountains for a tour around the colourful white and blue walled medina and continue to Fes for an assault on all the senses. Revel in the sights, sounds and smells of this medieval city’s tanneries and perhaps nab yourself a new leather handbag or belt! The next few days are given to hiking in alpine mountain scenery, marvelling at the stunning sand dunes of Erg Chebbi, camel trekking into the Sahara and exploring the dizzy heights of Todra Gorge. Relax in the charming coastal resort of Essaouria before heading back to the busy markets of Marrakech.
To make your trip easier, we’ll meet you at the airport and transfer you to the hotel in Marrakech for your first night’s stay. Breakfasts are included daily as well as five dinners and three lunches with the chance to experience a traditional Berber camp dinner for our night in the Sahara.
