Highlights

Duration: 8 days

Taroudant (2nts) - Marrakech (3nts) - Atlas Mountains (2nts)

Culture

• Beautiful Atlas Mountain views
• Sights and sounds of Marrakech
• The citadel and oasis of Taroudant

Day 1 - London/Taroudant Fly from London to Agadir and transfer to majestic Taroudant for your stay at the Berber styled Dar Zitoune.

Day 2 - Taroudant

Discover the sleepy provincial town of Taroudant with it high ramparts, set against the towering Atlas Mountains. Half citadel and half oasis, it is perhaps most noted for its traditional crafts so if you plan to shop, this is the place to do it.

Day 3 - Taroudant/ Marrakech

Passing by Agadir, your journey takes you to Marrakech, a city painted entirely in salmon pink, in keeping with the red-clay earth below.

Day 4 - Marrakech

Visit the magnificent palace of Dar Mnebhi, which houses exhibitions of Moroccan art and sculpture. See one of the first fountains of the town before viewing the finely worked square tower of the Koutoubia mosque. Prepare yourself for a discovery in labyrinth souk ending with snake charmers and Gnaouan drums pulsing in the most exuberant marketplace in the world.

Day 5 - Marrakech

After the hustle and bustle of the Medina, visit Marrakech’s most beautiful gardens travelling by horse-drawn caleche. Enjoy the tranquility of the Menara Gardens and take a romantic stroll passed the old olive-trees and Saadian style pavilion.

Day 6 – Marrakech/Atlas Mountains

Drive to the highest mountain in Africa to enjoy the spectacular scenery and the change in flora and fauna. Stop for photos of the dramatic landscape before arriving to Kasbah Tamadot, a wonderfully restored Kasbah.

Day 7 - Atlas Mountains

Enjoy a guided walk through the mountains or take time to relax and perhaps indulge yourself in the spa.

Day 8 – Atlas Mountains/London

Drive to Marrakech Airport for your flight with Royal Air Maroc to London.
