Guided trip
Welcome to Morocco, the gem of North Africa. On this trip we will spend a week exploring the city of Marrakesh (Jemaa el-Fna, Kutubia Mosque, Bahia Palace, Bazar, Saadian Tumbs, etc.) and its surrounding nature; the Sahara desert, we will travel through and the Merzouga side of the Saharian desert), and Ouzoud waterfalls for a trekking day. We will also learn how to do some Moroccan craftsmanship and spend a night at a campsite in the middle of the desert after a camel ride at the sunset :). It is insane how clear you will get to see the stars in the Saharian sky at night, you will be amazed (same as I did). During the trip to the desert we will cross breathtaking landscapes, like Todra Gorge, where we will spend the night, Rose Valley, Ouarzazate (where Gladiator was filmed) where we will have a guided tour .

We will visit Tinghir and explore the stunning Todra Gorges. Afterward, we will take a relaxing walk in the Todra Oasis that leads to the canyons. Later, we will embark on a 1-hour and 45-minute sunset camel ride to our overnight stay in nomadic tents in the heart of the desert. The tents are spacious and comfortable, and we will enjoy dinner under the stars while being entertained by music around the bonfire. This is a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of the desert at night and to observe the stars in the clear night sky ✨
