Itinerary in detail

Every trip is shaped around you. Below is a sample route to start from; we change any part of it to suit you.

Days 1-5

Sights and sounds of Marrakesh

With its rich atmosphere, fascinating history and Berber culture, the city of Marrakesh encapsulates what draws people from around the world to Morocco. Near one thousand-year-old red walls surround the historic medina, with monumental gates leading through to a warren of winding alleys. A highlight of your stay here is a Moroccan cooking workshop in a professionally equipped kitchen. Learn important local secrets from a dada (Moroccan cook) to get the traditional taste of tagine right. Then enjoy your delicious meal out on the patio.

Dining with purpose in Marrakesh

Dining with purpose in Marrakesh

Enjoy a meaningful lunch experience at Amal Association in Marrakesh, a remarkable social enterprise which empowers women through culinary arts training and provides a safe space for them to rebuild their lives.

The association helps resilient women who have faced a variety of challenges to rewrite their narratives and step into their power. Through its restaurant-school model, Amal provides trainees with real-world experience in the industry while also generating income which is reinvested into its training programmes. Since 2012, over 300 women have enrolled in the comprehensive four to six-month Moroccan and international cuisine and life skills programme, with a majority of them going on to full-time employment on completion.

Hot-air-balloon ride

Before sunrise, transfer by 4×4 to a palm grove located 20 minutes outside of Marrakech. There, you will enjoy a warm drink while watching the process to inflate the hot-air-balloon. When it’s ready, board the balloon for a spectacular adventure aloft, flying over the Ochre City of Marrakech. Afterwards, enjoy a snack under the Berber tent before being driven back to your hotel.

Day 6

Oasis town

Your driver and local guide will take you on a unique ride across the ever-changing landscapes of the Atlas Mountains and the majestic Tizi’n’Tchika pass to the oasis town of Skoura where you can discover some of the local traditions of the Berber people. Learn about the palm grove’s ecosystem and visit the outstanding Kasbah Amridil. Your suite is the perfect place to relax after the journey.

Ksar Aït ben Haddou

Ksar Aït ben Haddou

Follow your guide and visit the world-renowned Ksar Aït ben Haddou, a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco and film set for many Hollywood movies from Lawrence of Arabia to Gladiator, as well as for the star TV series Game of Thrones more recently.

Day 7

Into the desert

On your way into the desert you will pass by the Valley of Tazenakht and Foum Zguid and then stop for a delicious picnic lunch. Your journey continues through the dunes, oasis towns becoming less frequent, until you reach your camp for the night and settle down to a candlelit dinner beside a campfire. It’s the perfect space for star gazing and drinking in the tranquility only a desert can offer.

Day 8

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast after the sun rises and then prepare for the journey back to Skoura. You may have the opportunity to stop at several small villages on the way, meeting local artisans to craft the most beautiful Berber carpets. Once you’re settled into your room, you can either spend the rest of the day exploring Skoura or sign up for an outdoor activity.

Days 9-10

Into the mountains

Roads follow green valleys dotted with mud-built Berber villages, up through forest and over winding passes then down to wadis and old caravan trading posts on the edge of the Sahara. It is a haven for hikers of all levels from spring through to autumn. The Atlas Mountains are a rugged chain that span North Africa from the Atlantic coast through Algeria and Tunisia, an imposing barrier between the fertile Mediterranean coast from the vast Sahara Desert.

“Morocco”

We have used Jacada twice for our family vacations. Their attention to detail is fantastic and we had no glitches on our most recent trip to Morocco. The local guide was better than we could have hoped for.'We would definitely use Jacada again.
