Group Trip 8 Days
· Village stay and gentle walking in the
Atlas Mountains · Beach camel rides and relaxation in Essaouira · Sightseeing and souks in colourful Marrakech
A
week long adventure visiting souks, the Atlantic Coast and walking through mountain villages. Marrakech is a maze of busy bazaars, palaces and mosques. The centrepiece is the magnificent Djemaa el Fna Square, which comes alive at night with acrobats, storytellers and snake handlers. The old fishing port of Essaouira, with its whitewashed houses, long beach and active boatyards, makes for a relaxed stay and the absence of cars in the walled city ensures a safe environment for all the family. Our village stay in the Atlas Mountains is a special experience, walking in the shadow of North Africa's highest peak, Mount Toubkal. We walk through peaceful valleys and enjoy the breathtaking mountain landscape. This is a gentle introduction to the sights and sounds of this vibrant country.
