5-Day Agafay Desert, Marrakesh & Essaouira

Customisable Itinerary
5.0 • (1 review)

Trip Overview

Embark on a 5-day Morocco tour to discover the Agafay Desert, the wonderful red, mud-baked city of Marrakesh and the laid-back beach town of Essaouira!

Journeying into the desert, you'll spend the first part of this trip staying in a luxury Berber camp, eating traditional Moroccan dishes under the stars and waking up to silence. Leaving your desert escape behind, you'll arrive back in the bustling city of Marrakesh to dive into its endless souks and marvel at its wonderful monuments.

For the final part of your trip, you'll explore the charming beach town of Essaouira with its harbour lined with quaint little houses and a maze of market stalls.

This trip will deliver three very different but equally amazing parts of Morocco that will leave you wanting to discover more!

Travel to Essaouira & Explore with a Local Guide

Today, the whole day is devoted to discovering the city which is complete with a typically Portuguese harbour and fine examples of both Moorish and Portuguese art. Essaouira is considered as a part of a hidden Morocco. It is at once familiar and exotic with its fortified walls, fishing harbour and seagulls soaring and screaming over the town. You'll spend the day exploring the city with a local guide before returning to your hotel to get ready for dinner in the Essaouira Medina.
