Day 1

Arrival in Marrakech / Exploration of the red city and the Souk

  • Arrival at Marrakech airport in the morning.
  • Transfer by taxi to the Riad*, in the Medina. We chose the Kasba neighborhood.
  • Tour the historic Medina of Marrakech. Visit the Medina of Koutoubia and the Bahia Palace.
  • We recommend that you take a 'Free Tour', where the most emblematic places will be explained to you at the beginning, and you will enter some of them.
  • Lunch in a traditional Riad.
  • Get lost in the Medina Souk and its labyrinthine passages, where you will find all kinds of craft shops, tea, and everything you can imagine.
  • Dinner in Jemma el Fna Square.
  • Be surprised by the nightlife of the square, which comes to life with all kinds of lights and sounds.

Day 2

Secret Garden / Modern part of Marrakech

  • Have a peaceful breakfast in your Riad.
  • Visit the Secret Garden, located in the souk.
  • Visit the Badi Palace and its traditional streets around it, for us it was one of the most beautiful places in the city.
  • Stroll through the modern area of ​​Marrakech (Avenue Mohamed V and Mohamed VI). You will be shocked by the drastic change that exists with respect to the Medina area.

Day 3

Desert Excursion: Ait Zineb

  • 3-day excursion to the Sahara Desert (Essaouira) from early morning. On this excursion you will stop at different places. Definitely worth it.
  • First stop: Ait Zineb. A beautiful town in the middle of the desert where important films or series such as Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia or Game of Thrones have been filmed.
  • Stay overnight in Tinghir.

Day 4

Desert Excursion: Toudra Gorge, arrival in the Desert

  • Toudgha el Ouila and Toudra Gorge. A spectacular place that you will not forget.
  • Reach the Sahara Desert and ride a camel to the camp at sunset. A unique and very relaxing experience.
  • In the Desert you can enjoy authentic Berber foods and experience local hospitality.
  • Don't forget to stop for a while to appreciate the stars in the middle of the desert.

Day 5

Desert excursion: quad through the dunes and return to Marrakech

  • Wake up in the Sahara Desert and enjoy the sunrise between dunes.
  • Back on the bus, we had the option of taking a camel or a quad. Without hesitation we went quad biking and it was a brutal experience.
  • Transfer back to Marakech.
  • Take advantage of the last night to walk and have dinner in Marrakech.

Day 6

Majorelle Gardens / Bathing in Hamman / Return flight

  • Have breakfast at the Riad.
  • Visit the Majorelle Gardens, by Yves Saint Laurent.
  • Enjoy a bath and massage in a Hamman . Doing this before returning home is the best thing you can do to arrive feeling relaxed. There is a wide variety of places you can go and there are some where you can do it as a couple (man and woman).
  • Transfer by taxi to Marrakech airport and return home.

*A Riad is a traditional Moroccan house that was once used by the most powerful families. Currently they are offered as small Moroccan-style hotels with few rooms run by the families themselves.

Final considerations

  • This itinerary will give you a unique experience that combines the cultural richness of Marrakech with the magic of the Sahara Desert.
  • Exchange money for the national currency as soon as you arrive. There are many places that you will not be able to pay with a card. In Jamaa el Fna Square you have the cheapest place to exchange currency.
  • Get a SIM card upon arrival in Morocco for added convenience. You can buy it at the airport or in any store in the Medina.
  • You go to Marrakech, be prepared for them to try to sell you everything and have to haggle over the price of anything. When haggling, you can pay up to 20-30% of what they ask for.
  • If you have an extra day, we recommend that you visit the Ouzoud Waterfalls.
  • Be sure to bring appropriate clothing for the desert, including light, warm clothing and sunscreen.
  • Don't hesitate to interact with the local population and learn about their culture.
  • Very important! Use bottled water for both drinking and brushing your teeth. Although we were not sure that the water was contaminated, they recommended that we use bottled water for everything.
