10-Day Tour and 5-Day Hike | Culture and Nature in Morocco

After breakfast, we leave Marrakech behind and cross the spectacular Tizi ‘n Tichka Pass. Our journey takes us to the ancient Berber fortress of Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its appearance in films like Lawrence of Arabia and Game of Thrones. After exploring its mudbrick architecture and historical charm, we continue to Boumalne Dades, where you will spend the night in an atmospheric kasbah with breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains.

The real adventure begins with a five-day trek through the stunning Dades Valley. Each day, we hike for approximately 5 hours, covering altitudes between 1,900 and 2,000 meters. Much of the trail leads through off-the-beaten-path routes, offering an authentic and immersive experience. Depending on your fitness level and preferences, the hikes can be adapted to include easy trails or some light climbing. Along the way, we stop for lunch and traditional mint tea with hospitable Berber families. Nights are spent either camping under the stars or in guesthouses, depending on your choice.

In the afternoon, we arrive back in Boumalne Dades, where you will enjoy a well-earned rest. Overnight stay with breakfast included.

After days of trekking, enjoy a rest day to recover and unwind. Spend the day lounging by the pool or take a leisurely walk through the surrounding landscapes. In the evening, we celebrate with a festive dinner and a lively djembe drumming session.

Following breakfast, we travel to Ouarzazate, stopping along the way to visit the Kasbah of Skoura, a stunning example of Moroccan fortress architecture. Once in Ouarzazate, known as the Hollywood of Morocco, we visit outdoor film studios where movies like Gladiator were filmed, and explore the historic Kasbah of Taourirt. Spend the night in an authentic kasbah surrounded by lush palm groves, where you’ll enjoy a peaceful evening before the final leg of your journey.
