Morocco Express: Marrakech, Essaouira and the Desert
The trip in a nutshell
With a rich cultural heritage, amazingly varied landscapes and famously warm hospitality it is easy to see why Morocco has intrigued and enchanted travellers for hundreds of years. This Express tour distils the essence of this extraordinary country into just five days, giving you a real flavour of what Morocco has to offer in a short space of time. We will experience the vibrant buzz of Marrakech, with its ancient medina and colourful souks, before heading to the spectacular Agafay Desert for a night at a tented camp and a bedouin dinner under the stars. Next we will move to the Atlantic coast to soak up the chilled-out coastal vibes of Essaouira where the sunset is not to be missed. After all of that, you will soon see that five days is plenty of time for you to fall in love with magical Morocco.
