Day 01

Marrakech Arrival

Arrive in Marrakech and check into La Mamounia, a palace hotel where gardens, art, and history harmonize. Relax in its timeless surroundings before a private welcome dinner.

Marrakech Stories

With your guide, uncover Marrakech’s treasures: Bahia Palace, Ben Youssef Madrasa, and the vibrant souks. In the afternoon, step into Villa Oasis, Yves Saint Laurent’s private retreat, a place where beauty and memory intertwine.

Skies & Craft

Float at sunrise in a hot-air balloon above Berber villages and Atlas peaks, savoring breakfast in the sky. Later, explore Morocco’s crafts past and present: from leather and weaving in the medina to bold design studios in Sidi Ghanem.

Across the High Atlas

Journey across the mountains to Ait Ben Haddou, the iconic mud-brick ksar. Enjoy a behind-the-scenes exploration before continuing into the palm groves of Skoura. Overnight at Dar Ahlam, the House of Dreams.

The House of Dreams

At Dar Ahlam, every moment is a surprise: a hidden picnic under olive trees, a garden feast, a quiet walk through palm groves. The echoes of southern hospitality unfold in ways both subtle and unforgettable.

Into the Sahara

Leave the groves for the dunes. Tonight, glamp at Dar Ahlam’s private desert camp, where lanterns flicker, music drifts, and the stars themselves seem close enough to touch.

Tizkmoudine

Continue to Tizkmoudine, a centuries-old village reborn through community hospitality. Share meals and stories with locals whose traditions still carry the echoes of their ancestors.

La Maison Rouge

Head into the Anti-Atlas to La Maison Rouge, a striking home of stone and color set against dramatic mountains. Take time to wander, reflect, and absorb the rhythm of remote village life.

The Oasis House

Follow ancient caravan trails into a palm-lined oasis. At The Oasis House, earthen villas, Berber textiles, and moucharabiehs set the mood for languid days and starlit nights.

Oasis 4x4 Adventure

A 4×4 journey reveals the oasis’ hidden heart: irrigation channels, Berber communities, and the challenges of preserving life against drought. Each encounter echoes resilience and tradition.

Maison des Arganiers

Travel west to the Atlantic, pausing at Lagzira Beach with its natural arches carved by sea and wind. Continue to Maison des Arganiers, perched among argan trees with sweeping valley views.

Argan Villages

Walk through Azragag village and meet women at a cooperative keeping alive the centuries-old art of producing argan oil. The afternoon is for rest, reflection, and one final sunset over the valley.

Departure

Return to Marrakech for your flight home, carrying with you echoes of palaces, kasbahs, dunes, and villages — fragments of Morocco that will stay with you long after the journey ends.
