Day 1 Trip starts in Marrakech

Our tour of Morocco starts in the Red City. With its dusty rooftops, maze-like streets and bustling souks, Marrakech encompasses the essence of Morocco. Head to the Medina and people watch while you sip a mint tea in Jemaa el-Fna (the main square) or visit the Jardin ...

Day 6 Walk to Imlil and drive to Marrakech

Today, we'll retrace our steps down the mountain and head back towards Imlil. From there, we'll drive back to Marrakech, where we'll have free time to explore the Red City. Take in the pandemonium of Jemaa El-Fna (the main square) or delve into the spice-scented souks...
