The Sahara and High Atlas
|
Highlights Morocco is said to be like the desert palm - rooted in Africa, watered by Islam and rustled by the winds of Europe. Its sheer mystery has acted as a lure for centuries. This gentle level 10-night trip is a superb introduction to one of the most fascinating countries in the world.

Holiday introduction
- All the best bits of central and southern Morocco - one of the world's most exotic countries
- **** and ***** hotels, swimming pools throughout
- Exciting mix of rambles and sightseeing
- Mountain passes, palm-frilled oases, magnificent Dades Gorge
- Imperial Marrakesh; stunning Ouarzazate; views over the Sahara
This holiday covers the best parts of central and southern Morocco. You'll explore the High Atlas, the edge of the Sahara, the oases, desert towns, and mountains between.
It's a mix of sightseeing and walking in groups of up to twelve, using a minibus to get you about and up to altitude, led by a knowledgeable English speaking guide. None of the walking is strenuous (about 1-boot), and we'll adapt the itineraries depending on how people get on with the temperature and altitude changes.
The emphasis is very much on adventure by day and comfort by night. We use **** and ***** hotels throughout with swimming pools and extensive gardens. We include dinner, bed and breakfast in Ouarzazate and Zagora, and a mixture of half board and bed and breakfast in Marrakesh (which has many good and inexpensive restaurants). You pay locally for all other meals: budget around £8 for lunch or dinner in Berber inns.
We're probably a little biased, so here's what our customers say...
"The organisation of the holiday was excellent from start to finish. The guide and driver were the best."

"The holiday gave us a fascinating insight into another culture."
