Essaouira

Essaouira is a port and tourist town situated on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. By the sea, its medina (old town) is protected by 18th-century ramparts.

With its crenellated walls, the breath of the trade winds, and houses with white and blue façades, the colour of sea foam and waves, Essaouira, formerly known as Mogador, is the “Bride of the Atlantic”.

Then, step by step, the walk leads to the fishing harbour, where the fishermen are going about their business...

Ouarzazate - Ait Benhaddou

Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Deep South, will take you to the vast, arid expanses of the Moroccan desert. At the confluence of the Drâa and Dadès rivers, not far from the Ziz, the landscape transforms into a realm of palm groves, orchards and gardens, as well as regs and ergs.  Ouarzazate is a town south of the Moroccan High Atlas Mountains, known as the gateway to the Sahara Desert.

Perched above the valleys and at the gateway to the desert, Ouarzazate sits at an altitude of 1,160 metres on the high plateaus of the Atlas Mountains.

Ouzoud Waterfalls

The Ouzoud Waterfalls are a series of cascades approximately 110 metres high, spread over three tiers, situated in the picturesque geological setting of the Tissakht Wadi, at an altitude of 1,060 metres in the Atlas Mountains, in the Central High Atlas region of Morocco. These spectacular waterfalls, considered among the highest and most beautiful in Morocco, often crowned by a rainbow, are situated in a lush, rural red-sandstone wadi (valley), resembling an oasis, planted with olive groves, almond trees, fig trees and carob trees, where a dozen small traditional oil mills are still in operation...

Merzouga Desert

A small village on the edge of the desert, Merzouga owes its fame to the high dunes of Erg Chebbi that stretch along its outskirts.

A major destination for adventure tourism in Morocco, the dunes of Merzouga are a favourite with travellers seeking a complete immersion in the heart of a desert environment that is as impressive as it is breathtaking.

Zagora Desert

Bathed in sunshine and summer temperatures for much of the year, the geographical location of the small town of Zagora is an invitation to immerse yourself in the vastness of the desert and discover the life of the people of the south.

Located a 6½-hour drive from Marrakech and a 2½-hour drive from Ouarzazate, the small town of Zagora was once a caravan centre for the great trans-Saharan convoys and remains deeply steeped in its ancestral traditions to this day.
