HIGHLIGHTS:
- Kasbahs, souks & Marrakech
- Berber villages & Atlas Mountains
- Old piratesâ hideout & beach
Crossing the stunning Atlas Mountains you rest in the peaceful Berber village of Ifergane. From here you explore the area on foot or relax in a tranquil guesthouse in the middle of an orange oasis.
Moving on to the coast, you spend time at the beautiful beaches of Aourir, also known as Banana village. It is a traditional Amazigh village where locals still come down from the surrounding mountains to visit the weekly souk. This is a perfect spot for swimming and watersports.
Travelling north towards Essaouira you stop off en route for a scenic beach picnic before mounting camels to ride along the sand.
The old pirates' nest of Essaouira is a fantastic place to haggle for souvenirs. You can spend your day watching the fishermen, going for walks around the old fort and enjoying delicious seafood. Returning to Marrakech you enter an entirely different world of lively bazaars filled with exotic spices and treasures. At sunset the main square comes to life with snake charmers, acrobats and jugglers in a carnival of entertainment.
