Race across the desert during your exciting ATV journey to a secluded desert hideaway overlooking the vast Moroccan wilderness, framed by olive trees and organic gardens. Enjoy a scenic camel ride through the desert hills bathed in the sunset glow before indulging in a delicious dinner in a traditional Berber tent below the canopy of desert stars.

Proceed toward the High Atlas Mountains, passing through traditional Berber villages and picturesque valleys en route. Depart on a mountain trek after arriving in Imlil, a small Berber village at the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, and share a lunch of locally sourced salads, tagine, couscous, and fresh bread as you learn about the region's history and culture.

Return to Marrakech and visit the beautiful 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque, the stunning 19th-century Bahia Palace, and the grand Dar El Bacha Museum of Confluences before continuing to the Ourika Valley.

Atlas Mountains Atlas Mountains The Atlas Mountains are a series of mountain ranges in northwestern Africa, running through Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. The tourist industry is popular in the High Atlas region of Morocco, where visitors can enjoy luxurious Kasbah accommodations in picturesque villages. Activities include mountain biking and hiking, or even winter sports in the Middle Atlas, where long snow-covered slopes can be found.
Agafay Desert
Essaouira Essaouira Essaouria has been a trading post for almost 3000 years and has retained much of its classic charm. One of the most impressive sights of Essaouria is its gates. Being one of Morocco's main fortified coastal towns, Essaoria has many well preserved medieval gates and walls. Along the walls vendors and farmers set out mats and carts to sell their products. Essaoiura also offers visitors opportunities for water sports, including surfing and windsurfing.	Destination Guide
Marrakech Marrakech Marrakech, known as the "Pearl of the South," is an oasis in southwestern Morocco at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, with rose-colored ramparts and a thousand year old palm grove. Sumptuous and exuberant, it radiates splendor and mysticism and casts a magic spell on all who visit. Marrakesh has the largest berber market (souk) in Morocco and also hosts the busiest square in Africa. Founded in 1062 as the capital of the Almoravid dynasty, it continued in the 12th century as capital of the Almohads. Marrakech remained a political, economic and cultural center for a long period. Its influence was felt throughout the western Muslim world, from North Africa to Andalusia. Marrakech also became known as a magnet for some of the greatest saints of Islam, many of whom are buried within the city. Marrakech, like Fez, is a genuinely Islamic city in both its genesis and traditions. Marrakech has impressive monuments dating from that period: the Koutoubiya Mosque, the Kasbah, the battlements, monumental doors and gardens. Other architectural jewels include the Bandia Palace, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the Saadian Tombs and Place Jamaa El Fna, an open-air theater. The modern city was constructed in 1913 during the French occupation of the country and reflects the European influence. But the essence of the city remains the same.	Destination Guide
