About Your Trip
Moroccan culture is as intoxicatingly diverse as the Moroccan landscape. From the colourful explosion of bustling bazaars to the welcoming serenity of old Berber communities, exploring the snowy peaks of Africa’s longest mountain range and the rocky expanses of the desert, this Mini Trip gives you the whole Moroccan experience in just five days. You’ll start with a lively introduction to Marrakech, as our Local Insider helps you discover the narrow streets of old town, before moving to a Berber village high in the Atlas Mountains, where you’ll hike across epic valleys and tuck into local cuisine. Finally, your road leads to the Agafay Desert, where you’ll spend a night under the stars in a luxury campsite. All of our trips are flightless in destination, with 100% of all carbon emissions offset. It's just part of how we see the world while being good to it.

Accommodation
This traditional riad, hidden down a narrow street in the heart of the old town, is an oasis of calm amid the hustle and bustle. Expect traditional upholstery, greenery and a bright selection of artwork throughout. You can relax in the restaurant, bar, lounge or indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Our favourite spot, however, is the terrace garden with gorgeous views across the city.
This cosy village guest house high in the Atlas Mountains has just 12 individually designed rooms, all decorated in beautiful Moroccan fashion, and looking out over views of mountains and walnut groves. Your local hosts are as friendly as they come, serving delicious traditional meals either on the superb panoramic roof terrace or, in winter, by the fireplace in the cosy lounge.
There’s no roughing it in this desert camp, which provides a hint of luxury amid the vast Agafay Desert. You’ll be staying in a Bedouin-style luxury tent, equipped with a private bathroom, shower and handmade furniture. The site can organise camel rides, quad bike adventures and hot-air balloon trips, as well as providing delicious Moroccan cuisine and a beautiful campfire setting under the stars.
