Days 1–4
Welcome to Marrakesh
With its fascinating history and rich Berber culture, the city of Marrakesh is the perfect example of what draws people to Morocco. Near one thousand year old red walls surround the historic medina, with monumental gates leading through to a warren of winding alleys. It’s here you’ll find Marrakesh’s vibrant souks, markets and artisan workshops selling fragrant spices, leather-ware, jewellery, Berber carpets, fabrics, lamps, pottery and more. The centrepiece is Jemaa el-Fnaa, a busy market square that hosts storytellers, musicians and performers in what is an unforgettable nightly spectacle.

Culinary tour of Jemaa el-Fnaa
Meet your local insider guide and head to the magical medina of Marrakesh. At Jemaa el-Fnaa square you will awaken your senses as you stop at the tastiest food stalls, visit olive and nut souks and sample local specialities.
Medina of Marrakesh tour
Your private guide will show you around some of Marrakesh’s historic highlights in the medina, the old fortified city which is ringed by some 19km (12 miles) of walls and monumental gates dating back to the 12th century. As well as narrow streets, riads and bazaars, the walls encompass grand palaces, gardens, mosques, bustling squares, tombs and museums.
Yves Saint Laurent Museum and Jardin Majorelle
Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé first visited Marrakech in 1966, quickly falling in love with the city; its vibrant colours and intricate decor a constant source of inspiration. Step into the Majorelle Gardens, a haven of peace, then visit the Yves Saint Laurent Fashion Museum and the Berber Museum.
Days 4–6
Cool off in Essaouira
Essaouira is a laid-back port town cooled by the vents alizés trade winds gently blowing in from the ocean on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Once known as Mogador, the town took its current name from the 18th century medina – ‘souira’ meaning small fortress – with crenelated walls enclosing a handful of palmed-lined avenues and connecting atmospheric alleys. Sandy beaches extend for miles out from either side of the town, swept by near perfect breezes.

Val d’Argan organic vineyard walk
On your way to Essaouira you’ll stop to visit the Val d’Argan organic vineyards, where some of the best Moroccan biodynamic wines are produced. Take a short walk around the property and a settle down for wine tasting paired with lunch.
Essaouira walking tour
Enjoy a relaxed walk with your private guide in the charming whitewashed medina. You’ll go from the lively port, around the historic battlements and across narrow streets as you learn about this charming city’s history and culture.
Sidi M’barek Waterfalls tour
Your guide will take you to see some of the most magnificent landscapes in the region. Walk on a beach and follow the argan trees that lead up to the Sidi M’barek waterfalls. You’ll also get to enjoy traditional mint tea with a Moroccan family.
Days 6–8
In the mountains
Roads follow green valleys dotted with mud-built Berber villages, up through forest and over winding passes then down to wadis and old caravan trading posts on the edge of the Sahara. It is a haven for hikers of all levels from spring through to autumn. The Atlas Mountains are a rugged chain that span North Africa from the Atlantic coast through Algeria and Tunisia, an imposing barrier between the fertile Mediterranean coast from the vast Sahara Desert.
Where you could stay
Guided hike
There are some fabulous walks from your kasbah which can be tailor-made to suit your interests and you may find yourself walking through fields of olives, plums and the vegetable gardens of local villages, following rivers through valleys or embarking on more challenging mountain trails.
Planned a last minute 11 night trip to Morocco with Rebecca. Her and her team were absolutely fantastic. We gave them a tall order in asking for booking on such short notice (and then changing the dates mid-planning!) and we could not have been happier with the results. Highly recommended.
