8-night (Busy) Itinerary - Deluxe

Staying in only the more sophisticated and luxurious hotels that each place has to offer, you will travel from Marrakech to the coast visiting and staying in both Oualidia on its stunning lagoon and Essaouira with its famous Portuguese-built fortified medina. 

Arrive at Riad Dar Zitoune in time for lunch by the pool. Relax, enjoy the lovely gardens and your bungalow room. Evening meal dining at the hotel.

  A spectacular drive to Ouarzazate on the edge of the Sahara where you will be able to get a real feel for the South of Morocco.  Back to Marrakech for a very luxurious night at the Villa Des Orangers, one of the best known riad hotels.

A busy tour around some of Morocco's loveliest places driving yourselves (or with a driver at additional cost).

- This itinerary is a suggestion and can be adapted to your preferences.
- The suggested Things-to-do by each hotel are suggestions based on the hotel's location, and are not included in the guideline tour cost.
- This itinerary includes a group A (small) self-drive car which will be delivered to your hotel after your initial nights in Marrakech. We can provide an English-speaking driver for the duration and, of course, larger cars or 4 X 4 are also available.
