Marrakech is loud, colourful and generous, and it rewards the slow traveller. This trip gives you all of it, from the lanes of the Medina to the stillness of the mountains and a night under the desert sky. It’s a private group trip and you pick the date, so you travel with your own people, at your own pace, with no strangers and no rushing. There’s space in between for rest, prayer and taking it all in.
Your itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and the Medina
Your group is met at the airport and taken by private transfer to your riad. Once you’ve checked in, the afternoon is yours. Unpack, have some mint tea, sleep if you need to. There’s no rush on day one.
As evening falls, we walk to Jemaa el-Fna Square. This is when it wakes up: storytellers, music, the smoke from the food stalls and the whole city out for the evening. Then dinner in the Medina, an easy first night to settle you into the rhythm of the trip.
Day 2: Marrakech Highlights
Today is for the city’s history, taken at a pace that lets you enjoy it. We start at the Koutoubia Mosque, the landmark you’ll spot from almost anywhere in the Medina, then move on to Bahia Palace, with its painted ceilings, tilework and quiet courtyards.
Next are the Saadian Tombs, a beautifully detailed resting place that many visitors walk past without knowing. After that, we lose ourselves in the souks, where you can browse for spices, leather, lanterns and ceramics. We stop for a traditional Moroccan lunch along the way, and prayer breaks are built into the day.
Day 3: Imlil, the Atlas Mountains and the Agafay Desert
This is the day that changes the pace of the trip. We leave Marrakech by private transport and drive up towards Imlil, with the Atlas Mountains growing larger around every bend.
In the mountains, we visit traditional Amazigh villages and walk through the hills at an easy pace, with time to stop, take photos and breathe the cool air. Lunch is a traditional Amazigh meal, simple, warm and some of the best food of the trip.
In the afternoon we head back towards Marrakech, then out to the Agafay Desert. The landscape turns to rocky, open desert, and the evening is made for slowing down. You’ll ride a camel at sunset, then settle in with Moroccan tea. Dinner is traditional, followed by live music and a show around the campfire.
Day 4: Departure
A slow final morning, with time for a last walk or a last souk stop if you want one. Then your private transfer takes you to the airport, and you head home rested and full of stories.
