Stay under the stars in a traditional Berber camp, trek through the sultry Sahara, and spend time in a beautiful fishing village.

Morocco has seduced explorers for centuries. The Romans came in search of conquest, the Spanish arrived in search of spices, and in the ‘60s, hippies invaded, seeking to expand their minds. And you can understand why. The exotic treats and marvels are more than enticing; they’re irresistible. On this Moroccan quickie, you’ll sleep under the stars in a traditional Berber camp, trek through the sultry Sahara and unwind in a beautiful beach-bound fishing village. Follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s most intrepid travellers and discover the alluring secrets of this marvellous country.

We spend 5 days exploring Morocco. We visit Marrakech, Sahara Desert, Essaouira.

Morocco Express 5 day full itinerary breakdown and route map

Day 1

Marrakech

Welcome to Marrakech, the Land of God, and the official starting point of our epic express adventure! After a swift transfer to the hotel, you’ll have a welcome meeting with your fantastic guide and fellow explorers. Once we’re all nice and acquainted, we’ll enjoy an inclusive dinner, followed by some free time this evening. Discover this Moroccan treasure by yourself or with some new-found friends. Take a wander to Djemaa el-Fna square and the marketplace located in the city’s historic medina this evening as you enjoy your first night under the twinkling African night’s sky. - Dinner included

Day 2

Marrakech to Sahara Desert

Things are about to get sandy! This morning, we’re making our way over the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains and entering the Saharan Desert. We’ll pass through the surprisingly lush Draa Valley––the water of which is used to feed the palm groves––before making our way into the rustic town of Zagora. Time to meet our trusty humped steeds! The Saharan camel has proved, time and again, that slow and steady wins the race. These gorgeous creatures will carry us into the shifting dunes and stretching flats of the desert. Make sure your camera equipment is fully charged as this is a bucket list experience you won't want to forget. Tonight, we share a truly remarkable evening under the Saharan stars, enjoying traditional food, drink and music at the Berber camp. - Breakfast and dinner included

Day 3

Sahara Desert to Marrakech

The sun rises over the Sahara after our magical night in the desert. Trust us, you’ll only find sand in your hair for a week or so to come. After breakfast, we’ll make our way back to Marrakech. We return later this afternoon so make sure to head straight out to experience more of this city’s amazing sights. Explore the Koutoubia Mosque, the largest mosque in Morocco, or simply relax in one of the many café’s in the historic Medina. After a full day from Sahara to city, enjoy an optional traditional hammam this evening where you can relax and soak the day away. - Breakfast included

Day 4

Marrakech to Essaouira

From the city heat of Marrakech, we cool things down today with a leisurely drive to the coastal city of Essaouira. This colourful port is protected by a network of 15th century fortifications, which Game of Thrones fans should recognise from the fictional city of Astapor. Enjoy a relaxed day of free time to spend as you choose. Explore the numerous beaches, have a refreshing mint tea in the local cafes, do some souvenir shopping or just be swept away by the lazy coastal atmosphere. Tonight, enjoy a wonderful evening on the town, soaking up the salt-sprinkled sea breeze. - Breakfast included

Day 5

Essaouira to Marrakech

It may have been short but it sure was spicy. Today marks the end of our express adventure. Enjoy breakfast with a view of the Atlantic before we make our way back to Marrakech. The tour will come to an end upon our arrival. We hope you had a great time! - Breakfast included
