MARRAKECH — Red city, Ochre city, the Daughter of the desert, the Gate to the mountains, the Pearl of the south and the Baghdad of the west. This is Marrakech. The city that pulses, where your scents are intensified thanks to its colors, perfumes, tastes, and experiences. The city of miracles.

THE ANTI-ATLAS — Berber villages, Amethyst mountain, mint tea, green oases, valleys- in spring full of blossoming cherries and almond trees; in autumn offering spectacular views of snowy peaks of the hills in the High Atlas. Wild rosemary and fragrant lavender.

Fairy-tale culture of the Berbers — LIQUID GOLD — argan oil, waterfalls, and caves. Sensual reflection of Maghreb’s mystic.

Day 2 ~ Berber markets, square of Djemaa el Fna, Jardin Majorelle, YSL museum

Marrakech. The city of miracles. We will give enough time for local markets since everything we will find will exceed our expectations. All you can think of is found here - beautiful Berber jewels, fragrant spices, hand-made clothes reminiscent of the stories of ‘One thousand and one nights’, typical Moroccan shoes or babouche, leather handbags, hand-made baskets, embossed oil lamps, alabaster sculptures, precious stones, and crystals, traditional Berber carpets.
Square of Djemaa el Fna – an experience that is hard to be forgotten. This place has not changed significantly for the past 1000 years. Snake charmers, astrologers, magi, belly dancers and delicious street food.
In the afternoon we will visit the iconic Jardin Majorelle in Gueliz. After the square, Jemaa El Fna, the second most visited place in Marrakesh. A gift by Yves Saint Laurent to the city where he was welcomed with open arms, 300 plant species from 5 continents.

Day 3 ~ Ourika Valley and Berber village

After breakfast, we set off to Ourika. On the way there, we stop at a wonderful Berber village where a local market called souk, is held every Tuesday and we will take an opportunity to explore the many wonders it has to offer. Unforgettable experiences for all of us. We will go on to the valley, which is only 40 minutes away from MARRAKECH. However, a new world appears in front of us. In spring, the world blossom with cherry and almond trees; in autumn, spectacular views of the snowy peaks of the hills in the High Atlas. Easy trekking, lunch. On the way back we will stop at Cooperative, where you can see and buy some of the most beautiful and quality carpets in Morocco. Transfer to the Berber museum, where we will learn how similar and alike our countries are.
