Good to Know
Tap water in Morocco is generally not safe to drink. Stick to bottled water and avoid adding ice to your drinks unless you’re sure it’s made from purified water. Tea is an integral part of Moroccan culture. Enjoy a cup of mint tea in a local cafe or while visiting someone’s home.
Make sure your routine vaccinations are up-to-date before travelling to Morocco. Depending on your travel plans and personal health, you may also need additional vaccinations or medications. It’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or travel clinic before your trip.
ITINERARY
Day 1
Marrakesh
When you arrive at Marrakesh Menara Airport, we will be there to welcome you and take you to your hotel in comfort. Settle in and enjoy some free time.
Day 2
Marrakesh – Ourika Valley
After breakfast, you’ll meet your English-speaking guide and your driver who will take you on an unforgettable journey to the Atlas Mountains. First stop is a village where you can watch argan oil being made. Argan oil has healing, antioxidant and nourishing properties and many uses. Quite rightly, this veritable elixir is now famous the world over. From thence to village of Asni and the nearby Kasbah Tamadot, once a hillside fortress and now a luxury hotel owned by Sir Richard Branson. In Asni, a local guide will introduce you to Berber culture and you can enjoy mint tea and a freshly prepared lunch in a traditional Berber home. Then it’s time to head to your luxury tent accommodation where a delicious dinner awaits.
Day 3
Ourika Valley – Marrakesh
Wake up to silence and watch the sun rise over the Atlas Mountains … Then enjoy breakfast at the hotel before hitting the road to Marrakesh for an afternoon and evening immersion in this exciting city. One of the four imperial cities of Morocco, its history, traditions and bright blue skies cannot fail to charm you. Explore the medina and its lively heart, Jemaa el-Fna square: always busy with artisans, traders and shows. Nearby, the famous Koutoubia mosque is the symbol of the city, and well worth a visit. Dinner and accommodation at the hotel.
