This will be followed by lunch at a local restaurant around the square or at a place of your choice.
In the afternoon your private driver/guide will take you to visit the stunning Majorelle and Menara gardens which will include a short drive through the new city of Marrakesh “Gueliz”. Your Marrakesh City Tour ends when we drop you off at your accommodation in the evening.
Ait Ben Haddou from Marrakesh
Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou
Let us take you to the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou: Leaving your accommodation we journey south on the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass Road, passing through arid, mineral-rich environments and fertile valleys. We cross the Atlas Mountains by the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass, which at an altitude of 2260m (7417ft) is the highest road pass in Morocco.
Continuing south we arrive at the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, probably the most celebrated, filmed, and photographed Kasbah in Morocco. Featured in numerous films (including Lawrence of Arabia, The Sheltering Sky and Gladiator), it is the best-preserved Kasbah in Morocco and a Unesco World Heritage Site.
Leaving the Kasbah, we travel to Ouarzazate, the capital of the south and originally a base of the French Foreign Legion. Here we will visit the famous Atlas Film Studios, the shooting location for many well-known films including The Mummy, Star Wars and Body of Lies.
After lunch we travel back towards Marrakesh and your accommodation, with opportunities to stop en route to photograph the Berber villages and spectacular scenery. A fabulous day out!
Ouzoud Waterfalls - Marrakesh
Let us take you for a perfect day’s adventure at the truly magical Ouzoud Waterfalls.
Leaving your accommodation after breakfast, we travel towards the Middle Atlas region, passing fields of olive trees and small farms and arrive at one of the most spectacular sites in Morocco – the Cascades d’Ouzoud. This waterfall is particularly impressive in spring when the waters crash into the El Abid River canyon 100 metres (328ft) below.
Rainbows in the Mist … An Unforgettable Sight
From viewing platforms above the waterfall, you can observe the succession of cascades and admire the permanent rainbow created by the mist thrown up by the water. You may also see the local monkeys in the fig trees and carobs.
Downstream, bathing is permitted in the natural pools. This area is very popular with locals wanting to escape the fast pace of the city for tranquility and beautiful scenery.
After lunch at a local restaurant we leave the waterfalls and return to Marrakesh to enjoy the night atmosphere of the Medina. You will then be driven back to your accommodation.
Ourika Valley and the Foothills of the Atlas Mountains from Marrakesh
Why not spend a day visiting the glorious Atlas Mountains?
Leaving your accommodation in Marrakesh, our route takes us south through Marrakesh’s nursery flower gardens and into the foothills of the Atlas. In spring the area is carpeted with wildflowers and blossoming fruit trees and in summer, it is cool and shady.
See Berber Villages
The road follows the river, passing through Berber villages built into the hillside of the valleys. We arrive in the area where seven waterfalls flow down the rocky scree.
With your guide, you can spend several hours hiking around the area or perhaps enjoy a swim in the deep icy rock pool and watch the wild monkeys who inhabit this area.
After lunch at a local restaurant you have free time to wander around this beautiful area before the drive back to Marrakesh and your accommodation.
Essaouira from Marrakesh
You will be collected from your accommodation in the morning for the drive to Essaouira, formally Mogador. En route you will see many Argan trees, important to the region both economically and ecologically. You may also see local goats perched in the trees feeding on the fruit and leaves.
Enjoy Local Products, Arts, Crafts & Food
At the Women’s Co-operative of Argan Oil there will be an opportunity to learn about the wide-ranging applications of the oil from cosmetics to medicines.
On arrival in Essaouira, you will be able to visit the ramparts called the Skala, one of Essaouira’s main attractions. You will also see the Mellah, the former Jewish quarter, and the Medina. The pedestrianised Medina is a Unesco World Heritage site with beautiful arts and crafts to be found, including objects carved out of local Thuya wood.
You will be able to sample fresh local fish for lunch and enjoy the Atlantic- facing sandy beach.
After your visit to Essaouira, we head back through the countryside to Marrakesh where you will arrive back at your accommodation.
