Our 7-day tour from Agadir is the grand circuit of Morocco: the imperial city of Marrakech, the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, the film studios of Ouarzazate and a full day exploring the Merzouga desert.
You discover nomad villages, the Gnawa music of Khamlia and the old salt mines, and enjoy a sunset camel ride with a night in a Berber camp — all at an unhurried pace, setting out from the coast at Agadir.
