Day 1 - Travel to Morocco

Time to begin our Moroccan adventure as we fly to Morocco’s most iconic city, Marrakesh. On arrival we will meet our wonderful local tour guide & tour leader and travel to our hotel, the Grand Plaza Marrakech Hotel.

Tonight, we’ll ease into the Moroccan rhythm with a relaxed group welcome dinner. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know one another and enjoy the first tastes and aromas of Moroccan cuisine as we set the tone for our unforgettable journey.

Day 2- City tour of Marrakech & Traditional Moroccan show

This morning, Marrakech welcomes us with its vibrant colours and energy. We begin with a guided visit to the peaceful Majorelle Gardens before continuing to the beautiful Bahia Palace and Museum. Then it’s time to explore the city’s famous souks, filled with spices, crafts and local artisans. Our walking tour concludes at the iconic Djemaa el-Fna, the beating heart of Marrakech, alive with musicians, storytellers, snake charmers and market stalls.

Enjoy some free time this afternoon—perhaps sip mint tea on a rooftop terrace, wander the medina, or simply soak up the atmosphere.

This evening, we gather for a traditional Moroccan dinner accompanied by music, dancing and captivating performances. Set in a historic riad, tonight’s experience offers a rich celebration of Moroccan culture through flavour, sound and movement.

Day 3 – Traditional Moroccan Cooking Class

You will have this morning at leisure to discover Marrakech. Whether it’s revisiting the souks to try your hand at haggling with the locals or simply lounging by the hotel pool with a book, this time is yours to enjoy.

In the afternoon, we embrace Morocco through its cuisine with a hands-on cooking experience in a traditional Moroccan home. We’ll begin by picking fresh herbs from the garden before learning how to prepare an authentic tagine and other beloved Moroccan dishes. Guided by local chefs, we’ll discover age-old techniques and spices, before sitting down together to savour the flavours of our creations.

Day 4 – Journey to the Agafay Desert & Overnight Desert Stay

Today, we set off for what is sure to be one of the highlights of your Moroccan adventure, an unforgettable overnight stay in the breathtaking Agafay Desert. Our accommodation today is the Kal Tenere Agafay Luxury Camp, where each private tented lodge offers uninterrupted views of the rocky desert landscapes.

You will have some time to soak in the serenity of the desert, perhaps with a refreshing dip in the swimming pool or simply sitting back and admiring the desert landscape stretching as far as the eye can see.

As the sun sets, we gather for a magical dinner beneath the stars at the tented restaurant, an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, warm hospitality and rich Moroccan flavours.

Day 5 - Sunrise Desert Yoga, Camel Ride & Farewell Dinner

Awaken early for a truly special experience: a sunrise yoga session in the heart of the desert. With the golden light warming the horizon and silence all around, we’ll move through gentle postures and grounding breathwork, connecting deeply with nature and ourselves.

After breakfast, we take part in a classic desert adventure, an unforgettable camel ride through the rolling Agafay landscapes, before returning to Marrakech and the Grand Plaza Marrakech Hotel.

This evening we will enjoy a memorable farewell meal in a beautiful rooftop restaurant, where we will dine beneath the stars, reflecting on the incredible experiences and friendships made throughout our Moroccan adventure. Soak in the enchanting ambiance of Marrakesh one final time, as the call to prayer echoes across the rooftops and the city comes alive at dusk.
