I’ve had fun this week, exploring destinations I haven’t visited myself and pulled together the following itinerary that both my clients and I are very happy with … and without breaking the bank!
The brief was to keep it authentic – Riads rather than posh hotels – a few iconic cities with a trip into the mountains and desert to discover how the nomads live … their spend was around £2k per person.
Starting with 4 nights in a lovely Riad in Marrakesh, day 2 includes a half-day private discovery tour to get their bearings so that they can make the most of their time in the city.
On day 5, they will be picked up from their Riad and taken on a private, 3-night tour through the mountains to Fes. Along the way they will drive through the High Atlas Mountains, stopping at Berber Villages and the Atlas Movie Studio before an overnight stay in the Dades Valley.
Continuing on the next morning through the Todra gorges, they’ll visit a fossil factory before reaching Merzouga where they will switch from 4 wheels to camels to cross the Sahara desert to their Luxury desert camp!
After the beautiful sunrise and a hearty breakfast they will return to Merzouga (on Camels or 4x4) and will take tea with the Nomads before visiting a sub-Saharan village for music and dance performances and to learn how the locals live. The afternoon will be for relaxing before dinner at their Riad.
The final day, they leave the desert and continue through river valleys and Cedar forests – where they can feed Barbary Macaques – through Ifrane, the Switzerland of Morocco, and on to Fes.
They have 3 nights to enjoy Fes - with a private walking tour of the Medina on day 2 - before their private transfer to a boutique hotel in the Blue city of Chefchaouen where they will spend the night.
With the morning for exploration, after lunch they will take another private transfer to have one night in Casablanca before travelling back to Marrakech by train for their final 2 nights.
The best bit … all of this for less than £2,250 per person!
