It includes local experiences, traditional cuisine and time to enjoy Moroccan art, music and everyday life.
Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1
Marrakech
Meet and greet at Marrakech airport and private transfer to your hotel. Welcome to the Red City, where past and present intertwine in a tapestry of colours, scents and sounds.
Free time to rest, sip mint tea on a terrace with a view or take a stroll among palm trees, bougainvillea and reddish façades that herald the soul of the south.
Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
Did you know? The nickname "Red City" comes from the ochre colour of its walls, built in the 12th century from clay from the valley itself, which takes on an almost golden hue at sunset.
