Overview
This is a week of vivid contrasts, the ochre pulse of Marrakech giving way to the cool, quiet villages of the High Atlas. You begin in the medina, where the air is thick with cedarwood and spice, and end in the mountains, where the only sound is water moving through ancient terraces.
Between these two worlds, there is time. Time to wander, to linger over mint tea, to watch the light change across the Atlas peaks. This is not a journey that rushes you. It is one that asks you to slow down, to breathe, and to discover Morocco at your own pace.
Highlights
Explore Marrakech’s souks and historic palaces with a local guide.
Unwind with a traditional hammam.
Enjoy a riverside lunch in the Ourika Valley.
