Morocco: From Marrakesh to the Sahara Desert
The trip in a nutshell
Get ready for an experience of a lifetime in Morocco! Head out to discover the desert, the ancient Draa valley and the colourful city of Marrakech. This trip will leave you completely speechless!
During our tour we will embark on a journey to uncover the local culture and landscapes, from the bustling cities to the magical desert. We will spend a night in a tent and ride on the back of a dromedary (a very tall Camel) through the sandy dunes of the Sahara desert. Moroccan culture will enchant you with its history and its colours, as you walk through the busy city markets and admire the unmistakable architecture. Pack your bags and get ready to go on this incredible journey!
