Tour Overview
We are offering all that our clients have loved about Marrakech, the Southern towns, and the Sahara over the years. The delicate aroma of rosewater wafts around a shop filled with decadent silks. Carpets are woven in an intricate fashion and leaned against old city walls. Picturesque nods to the French history of the country linger along the parapets of the marketplace. The vibrant history of an old desert-trading town continues in the shade of the fortress. This 8-day discover Morocco tour includes Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Sahara desert & Todra Gorge. From powerful red walls and terracotta villages, hand-dyed leather goods and layers of rainbow colored spices, this special holiday in Morocco combines the wonders of the country to create an unparalleled splendour, unique to Morocco alone. Morocco is a world of colour filling every aspect of traditional and contemporary life. Mosques are decorated with green tiles and cities shimmer with blue paint under the shade of nearby mountain tops. Blue-Bedouins grace the desert, red walls encircle old cities, and even the spices radiate rich hues. Your tour from Marrakech to the Sahara Desert is tailored to ensure an unforgettable journey through Morocco. The marvels of Morocco are endless: including culture, landscape, and enduring colours. *Private groups only - min 2 pax* Price reduces the more in your private group. *Choose your own start date and contact us for availability* 2 Pax £1198 pp in 2024 3 Pax £1048 pp in 2024 4 Pax £948 pp in 2024 5 Pax £898 pp in 2024 6 Pax £848 pp in 2024
