DAY 1 · Marrakech
First, the rhythm of the city
We begin in Marrakech.
Two nights to settle into the rhythm of the journey, get lost in its streets, enjoy its food and let Morocco begin to appear little by little.
From the Atlantic to the dunes of the Sahara
Atlantic to Sahara
11 days · Marrakech · Essaouira · Taroudant · Erg Chigaga · Fint Oasis · Drâa Valley
11 days · Marrakech · Essaouira · Taroudant · Erg Chigaga · Fint Oasis · Drâa Valley
A journey across Morocco from west to south.
Two nights in Marrakech. Two by the Atlantic. The south, the mountains and the Drâa Valley. Two nights among the dunes of Erg Chigaga. And time to discover the oases and landscapes we find along the way.
A journey for those who want to know Morocco through its contrasts.

DAY 2 · Marrakech
One more morning in Marrakech
A second night to enjoy the city without rushing.
The journey comes together gently before we head for the Atlantic.
DAY 3 · Marrakech → Essaouira
Then, the Atlantic
We leave Marrakech behind and head for the coast.
The landscape changes as we approach the ocean.
DAY 4 · Essaouira
Two days by the sea
Essaouira is another Morocco: ocean, wind, harbour, fresh fish, white streets and a much slower pace.
Two nights to enjoy the city and the sea before continuing south.
DAY 5 · Essaouira → Taroudant
The Morocco of the south
The change begins. We leave the ocean and head inland.
The landscape transforms and we arrive in Taroudant, a walled city known for its more local atmosphere.
A night to rest before continuing to the Sahara.
DAY 6 · Taroudant → Erg Chigaga
And then, the desert
We continue south. The landscape grows ever more arid until we reach the gateway to the Sahara.
From there we enter by 4x4 towards Erg Chigaga. The dunes appear little by little.
DAY 7 · Erg Chigaga
Two nights to live the Sahara
We don't want the desert to be a quick stop within the journey. We want you to have time to simply be.
Walking over the dunes. Sharing a tea. Listening to Saharan music. Sitting around the fire. Watching the stars. And waking up surrounded by silence.
Here, time works differently.
DAY 8 · Erg Chigaga → Fint Oasis
From desert to oasis
We leave the dunes and keep discovering the south.
Two nights in the Fint Oasis area to slow down again and explore the landscapes around Ouarzazate.
DAY 9 · Drâa Valley · Aït Ben Haddou
Palm groves, kasbahs and other landscapes
We visit Aït Ben Haddou and approach the Drâa Valley, with its oases, palm groves and kasbahs.
After the dunes, a different landscape. Another way of understanding the south.
DAY 10 · Return to Marrakech
The last night
We begin the journey back towards Marrakech.
The last night can be in the city or nearby, depending on your flight time and the kind of trip you want. One last night to rest before heading home.
DAY 11 · Return
The journey ends
Breakfast and transfer to the airport.
The journey ends. But after eleven days, Morocco no longer feels the same as when you arrived.
Your journey, your way
This route is a starting point.
We can adapt the route, the length, the accommodation and the experiences to your time, interests and way of travelling.
