Adventure Morocco

Day 1 Marrakech

MarrakechAt the terminal keep your eyes open for the Travel Talk sign, as we pick you up from the airport and take you to our hotel. Gather round in the hotel lobby at 7:00pm as we meet both the other tour members and the guide. Listen up for a fast and informal meeting with the leader including registration and a short brief about the adventures ahead and some country info. Optional dinner together is available to get to know your travel mates better.

Day 2 Marrakech, Zagora (B, D)

After breakfast we depart for Zagora, the desert village reflecting the traditional life of Morocco. The village is located at the edge of the Sahara and the famous “52 days by camel to Tombouctou”. After sharing our experiences with our travel mates and dining under a starry sky, we stay in sedentary tents portraying the authentic local life of the Sahara.

Day 3 Zagora, Chigaga, Jeep Safari ( B, L, D )

An amazing day in the Moroccon desert. In the morning we join a 4x4 jeep safari through the magnificent sand dunes. We may even have the opportunity to visit one of the nomad families who live in hand-woven goat hair tents. We have lunch at the Oasis and then continue to Chigaga in our 4x4 jeeps, a 40 km-long stretch of huge 300m high Saharan dunes, through the arid plains and sands. In the evening we visit into our nomad tent camp, based at the largest dune called “ocean without water” and have dinner under the desert stars.

Day 4 Camel Trek in the Desert (B, L, D)

Another amazing day in the Moroccon desert ! Today we join a full day camel trek in the Sahara and enjoy the adventurous atmosphere of the desert life. We have lunch in the desert and we then make our way to our bivouac at an oasis where an awesome experience awaits us : watching the desert change colour under the sunset, staring a billion stars in the night sky, or listening to the silence of the desert before the sun comes up... Adventure Morocco

Day 5 Chicgaga, Jeep Safari, M'hamid, Taroundant, Agadir (B)

Today we go back to Zagora, then drive in our mini bus along the Oasis, passing palm groves, Berber villages and kasbahs to Taroundant and continue through the High Atlas mountains until we reach Agadir, Morocco’s number one sea resort. With over 340 days of sunshine a year, situated on the southern part of Morocco’s Atlantic coastline, Agadir has something to offer everyone: water sports, delicious Moroccon sea food, fantastic beaches and attractive nightlife.

Day 6 Agadir, Essaouira (B)

After a scenic drive along the Atlantic coast through the Argane tree forests and banana plantations, we arrive in Essaouira, the most popular wind-surfing destination on the Atlantic Ocean. Essaouira is still serene, friendly and charming. Wander through tall white houses with yellow detail and blue doors, narrow streets and the ramparts that protect most of the town. Savouring grilled sardines and fish at the Essaouira port is a spectacular way to spend the evening.

Day 7 Essaouira, Marrakech (B)

Today we depart for Marrakech. In the afternoon we will visit Djemaa el Fna Square - filled with story tellers, snake charmers, acrobats, musicians and folk dancers. We remain in Marrakech overnight.

Day 8 Marrakech (B)

Our trip will end after check-out (11:00am) say goodbye to our new friends over breakfast, and we bid you safe travels.

easter-2012Wayne Dewar - AustraliaADVENTURE MOROCCOTour was great especially when we got to the desert section in the Sahara. Camel riding was fun and camping out was great. Meeting actual local people made it even more so real. Agadir was a little soso being that it is a well developed city with a nice beach. Essauoira was a great place to visit to get a true feeling about Morocco. And I’m looking forward to our fantasia show tonight. Said is an excellent guide and always goes above and beyond his call of duty which made our trip even better.2008-5-27Tour: Adventure Morocco5
