Your Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrive in Marrakech
Arrive at Marrakech airport where your driver will meet you and take you straight to your riad. A mere 15 minute transfer and then a 5 minute stroll through the medina. There are lots of lovely riads in Marrakech and for this trip you stay in Riad El Zohar, right in the centre of the souks and an easy walk to everywhere.
Day 2 - Explore the Souks
Enjoy everything Marrakech has to offer. Take an early morning visit to the Majorelle gardens before it gets too hot and all the busloads of tourists arrive. Spend afternoons visiting the various mosques and historical sites, not forgetting to indulge yourself with a traditional Moroccan exfoliation and massage in a local hammam.
Lastly, and not to be missed is the main square at night where you can wander amongst the snake charmers, storytellers and henna tattooists before sitting atop a rooftop bar with a chilled glass of wine watching the action unfold beneath you.
Day 3 - Head into the Atlas
On the third day you transfer up to the mountains. With Fleewinter we try and be flexible and so you can go first thing if you want to maximise your time in the mountains or if you’d rather spend more time in the souks then stay in Marrakech until later in the day. Either way you’ll be up in the mountains for dinner and your first night at Douar Samra. Accommodation is basic but very comfortable and the atmosphere is fabulous, probably because the location is so integrated into a traditional Moroccan village.
Day 4 - Big decision
Do you take it easy and just soak up the views and atmosphere or do you book a guide and get some miles and altitude under you belt? Or just stay on the sun terrace with a book all day. Tough choices.
Day 5 - Home!
It is only 90 minutes back to the airport and your driver will arrive in plenty of time to head down through the passes and back home. A great mix of Marrakech madness and the peace of the mountains
