Luxury Atlas & The Souks

Your Itinerary

Day 1 - Mountain Retreat

Upon arrival in Marrakech aiport you will be met by our driver who will transfer you via the winding and rugged road to the peaceful sanctuary of Kasbah Tamadot

Accommodation

Day 2 - Pamper

Today you might be up for a trek through some Berber villages or simply relax and enjoy the hotel’s facilities and its amazing spa. For a true Moroccan experience try a Hammam, where the skin is deeply cleansed, purified and softened with the traditional Moroccan cleansing ritual.

Day 3 - Marrakech

Take a leisurely morning before our driver will transfer you to Marrakech at around midday. Your home for the next 2 days will be the fantastic La Sultana hotel, a hidden five-star gem. So hidden that if you didn’t know where to find it on the main drag in the Kasbah, you might miss it. Look for the bellboys in regal red jackets guarding the entrance, beyond which lies the opulent hotel with a swimming pool, lovely roof terrace, and a multitude of nooks and crannies and tucked-away courtyards.

Accommodation

Day 4 - Explore Marrakech

Marrakech is a romantic and magical city that feels trapped in time. There’s a surprise around every corner in Marrakech, and the more lost you get, the more you’ll discover and the more fun you’ll have. The best way to enjoy the city is on foot in the heart of the medina, Marrakech’s walled old town. You’ll see artisans hard at work creating leather goods and weaving rugs alongside hawkers selling everything from dates and almonds to knockoff handbags.

Day 5 - Home

Our Driver will come and pick you up for your journey home. If you have a later flight then spend the morning in the souks topping up on bargains, or just relax on the roof terrace or by the pool.

Marrakech

The start and finish for most Morocco Holidays. Highlights are the souks in the old Medina, the main square in the evening, the Majorelle gardens and the historical sites. You should definitely stay in a Marrakech Riad for at least a few nights but also some beautiful villas and hotels on the edge of town in rural Marrakech. Click for suggested riads More

Essaouira

Essaouira is our favourite at all times of year. Probably the prettiest coastal town in Morocco and loads to see and do. Great camel trekking, horse-riding, surfing kite/windsurfing, cooking lessons, lovely medina (more relaxing shopping than Marrakech). Also great places to stay in town and in the village click below for suggestions More

High Atlas Mountains

Incredibly close to Marrakech but a world apart, the Atlas mountains are an essential visit. Go for a day trip (trekking or driving tour), or stay in one of the beautiful kasbahs perched on a hilltop to relax and soak up the views More

Sahara Desert

The massive dunes of the Sahara should be on anyone's "bucket list" and it is easy to do a trip into the desert from Marrakech, Fes or the coast with a bit of planning More

Ait Ben Haddou

One of the most famous sights in Morocco, Ait Ben Haddou is a rock fortress on the south side of the Atlas. Always a good stopping point on our desert tours and a must for the photo album More

The Gorges

The Todra and Dades Gorges maybe a little over-hyped but certainly worth a stop on the way to Mezourga - part of our Desert & Gorges Tour More

Taroudant

A pretty walled town within easy reach of Agadir (so a lot of day trippers from the package hotels) but also a great place for a night's stop between the desert and the coast More

Agadir

Having been re-built after and earthquake 50 years ago it doesn't have as much charm as other Moroccan cities but the beach and climate are lovely More

Oualidia Lagoon

A small seaside town built up around a pretty estuary and lagoon. Home to La Sultana, the best coastal hotel in Morocco and can easily be combined with a visit to Marrakech and Essaouira More

Rabat

Less well known as a tourist destination but with recently introduced direct flights from the UK it is an interesting city where you can see the modern Morocco alongside the rivermouth Kasbah and the medina More

Casablanca

The biggest city in Morocco and an industrial sprawl. We generally advise not stopping there and even if flying to Casablanca head North to Fes/Rabat or south to Marrakech/Essaouira. If you are passing through it is worth visiting the spectacular seafront mosque.

Chefchaouen

The town of Chefchaouen is beautifully situated on a mountainside, often referred to as the blue pearl due to its shimmering blue buildings. It's worth learning the history behind the choice of this color, which contributed to the town's fame, making it one of the most photographed places in Morocco. In Chefchaouen, explore the picturesque medina with winding alleys and the Kasbah with its lush gardens, serving as a haven of freshness in the city center. Chefchaouen is a paradise for walkers, not only because of its most beautiful streets and alleys, which create an unreal impression but also due to the hiking trails around the city. Besides the Old Town, it's worth visiting the main square, Uta el Hamman, with numerous cafes, and seeing the 15th-century El Adamaa Masjid mosque in white-orange colors with its characteristic octagonal minaret. Chefchaouen is an excellent choice for a one-day trip or a relaxing overnight stay. More

Fes

Fes makes for a fabulous long weekend or as part of our "Grand Tour". The highlight is the medina which most people prefer to Marrakech, partly as it is on a hill you are much more aware of the geography. Also, do a day trip to the Roman ruins at Volubilis and ask about a night or two in the village of Bhalil More

Merzouga

The second good dune area of Morocco is Erg Chebbi by Merzouga - easier to get to (no 4x4 needed) and whilst the dunes are stunning we prefer Erg Cheggaga for a proper desert experience. More
