📍Days 1 and 2: Marrakech, the Red City

Your 10 Days Trip begins in the vibrant heart of Marrakech, where ancient traditions meet the energy of modern life. Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed at the airport and transferred to a charming riad or comfortable hotel nestled within the city. Your adventure begins in the heart of the Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site pulsing with vibrant colors, lively sounds, and captivating aromas. Lose yourself in the energy of the bustling souks, stroll through peaceful Andalusian gardens, marvel at the delicate artistry of the Saadian Tombs, and stand in awe before the majestic splendor of the Bahia Palace. As evening falls, the legendary Jemaa el-Fna Square comes alive with storytellers, musicians, and the tantalizing aroma of Moroccan spices — offering a full sensory immersion into the soul of the Red City.

📍Days 3 and 4: From the Atlas to the Dades Valley and the dunes of Merzouga

As your 10 Days Trip continues, the journey takes you south through the majestic peaks of the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the legendary Tizi n’Tichka pass at 2,260 meters. The landscapes here are nothing short of breathtaking, with dramatic valleys and traditional Berber villages clinging to the hillsides. Your first stop is the iconic Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and cinematic backdrop to countless films.

Next, uncover the charm of Ouarzazate — lovingly dubbed the ‘Hollywood of Morocco’ — where ancient kasbahs and golden desert landscapes set the stage for both cinematic legends and centuries of history bathed in sunlight. From there, the road winds toward the fragrant Valley of Roses and the spectacular Dades Valley, where dramatic rock formations and gorges create unforgettable panoramas. The adventure deepens with a visit to the awe-inspiring Todra Gorge, a vertical paradise for climbers and photographers alike, before finally reaching the golden sands of Merzouga — your magical doorway to the vast and mysterious Sahara Desert.

📍Day 5: Merzouga Desert and meeting the nomads

One of the most unforgettable moments of your 10 Days Trip is undoubtedly this day immersed in the magic of the Sahara Desert. Your journey begins with an off-road adventure through the striking landscapes of the Black Desert, where volcanic rocks and vast silence create a surreal atmosphere. Along the way, you’ll be welcomed by a nomadic family for a warm cup of tea — a simple yet profound cultural exchange.

In the late afternoon, mount your camel and glide across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi as the sun sets, painting the sand in shades of fire and gold. As night falls, you’ll settle into a traditional Berber camp where hospitality and tradition come to life. Enjoy a delicious dinner under the stars, gather around the campfire for music and stories, and fall asleep in a cozy tent beneath one of the most dazzling skies you’ll ever see — a magical highlight of your Moroccan odyssey.

📍Day 6: Return to Ouarzazate via the Drâa Valley

📍Day 7: Return to Marrakech

As your 10 Days Trip begins to wind down, you’ll once again cross the majestic High Atlas Mountains, this time discovering them from a new perspective, with fresh panoramas of rugged peaks, deep valleys, and terraced villages. The scenic journey leads you back to the vibrant heart of Marrakech by the afternoon, giving you the perfect opportunity to soak in the last moments of your Moroccan adventure.

Wander once more through the colorful souks, pick up a few final treasures, or treat yourself to the soothing rituals of a traditional hammam — the perfect way to relax and reflect on the unforgettable experiences of the past ten days.

📍Day 8: Excursion to the Ouzoud waterfalls

One of the highlights of your 10 Days Trip is a refreshing day excursion to the magnificent Ouzoud Waterfalls — the highest and most beautiful in Morocco. Nestled in the Middle Atlas Mountains, these stunning cascades plunge over 100 meters into emerald pools surrounded by lush vegetation. As you stroll along scenic pathways, you’ll likely encounter playful Barbary macaques and enjoy panoramic views from different vantage points.

Take time to relax with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant set beside the rushing water, where the sounds of nature create the perfect ambiance. In the late afternoon, return to Marrakech with your heart full and your camera roll bursting with spectacular memories from this magical natural wonder.

📍Day 9: Essaouira, the Pearl of the Atlantic

To complete your 10 Days Trip with a touch of sea breeze and coastal charm, you’ll head west to the Atlantic shores and the enchanting city of Essaouira. This UNESCO-listed port town, with its whitewashed walls and blue shutters, offers a soothing contrast to the desert and mountain landscapes.

Wander through its fortified medina, where narrow alleys lead to art galleries, artisan workshops, and spice-scented souks. Watch fishermen bring in their daily catch at the bustling harbor, or take a peaceful walk along the windswept beach that stretches endlessly along the coast. After a full day of discovery, you’ll return to Marrakech in the evening, filled with the spirit of the ocean and the laid-back rhythm of Essaouira.

📍Day 10: End of stay and airport transfer

On the final day of your 10 Days Trip, enjoy some free time tailored to your flight schedule for last-minute shopping or simply soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of Marrakech. Whether you want to pick up souvenirs, savor one last cup of Moroccan mint tea, or explore hidden corners of the medina, this is your moment to savor before your private transfer to the airport.
