Active Morocco

Itinerary

Day 1 Marrakech

Head to Djemaa el-Fna, the city's famous square, where musicians, acrobats and dancers all converge, turning the place into a living theatre at dusk. Get amidst the excitement on a walking tour of the Old Town.

Day 2 High Atlas Foothills Mountain Biking

Escape the clamour of Marrakech into the rural countryside of the Berbers, cycling across the Plateau de Kik. Take to the hills passing crop terraces, hidden villages and wonderful rock formations. Later, take a short hike to the village of Armed.

Days 3-4 High Atlas Trekking

Perched on a rocky outcrop, tranquil Armed is the base for the next two days. Enjoy a warm welcome from local hosts and after a good night's rest, embark on a scenic hike in the majestic Atlas Mountains. Afterwards, you can rejuvenate with a visit to a local hammam or just kick back on the terrace of our mountain gite.

Day 5 Ait Benhaddou

Explore the maze of alleyways in this World Heritage-listed kasbah, once an important stop for the caravans trading salt, gold, ivory and slaves. Then sit back by the pool to watch the red walls glow at sunset.

Day 6 Dades Gorge

Spend tonight in a nomad tent in the beautiful natural surrounds of Dades Gorge.

Day 7 Todra Gorge

Marvel at impressive limestone cliffs, discover bizarre rock formations and get up close to nature while hiking in the stunning Todra Gorge.

Days 8-9 Marrakech

Get lost in the tumult of the souqs, where competing merchants' cries create a special kind of symphony. Give in to the temptation of these lavish markets and bag yourself a souvenir or just sit back and enjoy the spectacle.
