From Mountain to Desert • Retreat to Morocco

Overview

Explore the sites, sounds and rich culture of Morocco. From the captivating Atlas mountains, to the wide expanse of the Agafay desert, to the busy souks and Medinas of Marrakech, we'll immerse in the incredible hospitality and creativity of Morocco.

Location

It will be our launching point for optional excursions to the mountain waterfalls and Berber villages with amazing traditional artisans and to the souks and medinas of Marrakech. It is in the foothills of the Atlas mountains, which provide ample opportunity to hiking, swimming and even shopping.

From there, we'll transfer to Habitas Agafay Caravan in the Agafay desert for two nights to experience the wide-open skies and deep serenity of the desert along with amazing amenities.
