Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains
The first few days - still without a rental car - are an immediate immersion in two extremes of Morocco.
You will stay in an attractive hotel, from which you can explore the extremely whirlwind city.
Wandering through the old part of town is a succession of lively scenes full of color, fragrance and sound.
On a day excursion to the Atlas Mountains, you will discover the more leisurely pace of days in a traditional Berber village, where you will be warmly welcomed.
A varied taste of Morocco's versatility, then begin your road trip by rental car through the authentic south. Where the world can't find you...
Self-drive from the desert to the coast
By 4WD you will traverse impressively beautiful landscapes.
Prepare for off-the road driving through the sand desert, unpaved mountain roads and fine asphalt roads, endless hairpin bends and magnificent views.
Be transported back to days gone by when trade caravans moved from oasis to oasis across the Sahara to Timbuktu, where green valleys full of Argan bushes alternate with palm groves and red mountains, sand dunes and beaches.
Gradually you will learn more about the culture of the Berbers, Arabs and other peoples.
Old traditions still live on, desert villages and towns breathe history.
You will spend the night in fairytale accommodations.
