7-day itinerary · Africa
One week in Morocco
A balanced route with memorable places, humane travel days and room for discovery.
Route overview
Seven days, thoughtfully paced
Morocco is rich in texture and contrast. Move slowly between medinas, mountain valleys and desert camps, allowing time for tea and conversation. This itinerary connects three rewarding experiences without packing every day with long transfers.
Day by day
Wander Marrakech at first light
Begin with wander marrakech at first light. Keep the first evening light so there is time to settle into the local rhythm.
Hike with a local Atlas guide
Build the middle of the week around hike with a local atlas guide. Stay two nights to avoid turning the journey into a race.
Sleep beneath Saharan stars
Continue with sleep beneath saharan stars, choosing a locally owned base and leaving one afternoon open.
A slow final day in Morocco
Return to a favourite neighbourhood, market or viewpoint before the journey home.
