About this trip
Eight days moving between the Sahara and Marrakech, with a proper mix of desert nights and city life. You'll hike out to a desert camp, watch the sun go down over the dunes, and sleep near an oasis before heading back to the city.
In Marrakech the focus turns to food and local life, with a tanjia-making demonstration giving you a hands-on feel for regional cooking. A day trip out to the Ouzoud waterfalls adds a swim and lunch by the oasis into the mix.
It's an easy-paced, fully guided group trip, so someone else handles the logistics while you take in the desert, the medina, and everything in between.
