What to expect

Embark on a real food adventure in Marrakech as you wander through the souks, sampling olives, dried fruits, nuts, pastries, and other Moroccan specialities.

We will start at the Djemaa El-Fna square, traditional center of trading, bargaining, eating, and mingling. From the square we'll go into the labyrinth of small streets and alleys, hunting for hidden local shops selling delicious Moroccan treats. Then we will head toward the poultry/beef market. But the best is yet to come! The spice market will be our next stop, where you will become a spice guru and bring home with you all the secrets of the traditional Moroccan cuisine. From cumin to saffron, from ginger to pepper and tumeric, you will immerse yourself into a wabe of exotic smells and colours.

A visit to the souks will allow us to discover many traditional breads, perhaps try a cow hoof or sheep's head, and stop by to try some Ghoulal.

We'll end up in the Djemaa El-Fna square where we will enjoy a Moroccan dinner surrounded by the enchanting atmosphere of this World Heritage Site.

If you're looking for remote Berber villages, mountain panoramas and bucketloads of adventure, you've found it. This 4x4 tour begins as you approach the High Atlas foothills, just a short drive from Marrakech. Soon you'll be deep into north Africa's highest mountain range, passing typical farms and rust-coloured peaks. Yasmine, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Our olive grove in Asni valley was once enough to support the whole family, but when the crop reduced due to lack of rain, we had to move to Marrakech. These days, I work as a tour guide, and I'm proud to show our guests what life in the Berber villages I know so well is like.'Your private, air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle is exclusively for you and your party. As you wind into the rugged terrain, you'll stop at the most panoramic locations to admire the view and snap some photos of the distinctive landscapes. You'll also see a local pottery studio where artisan potters use traditional methods to make ceramic products, and you can buy some items if you like.Next up, you'll explore a typical Berber village. Your guide will accompany you to a traditional home to enjoy a mint tea and try freshly baked bread. Wave goodbye to your hosts and continue through the mountains into the Asni valley, where it's time to stop for a traditional lunch. You'll round off your 4x4 adventure at the Plateau de Kik, calling in at the Tahanaout gorges on the return trip. On a private tour, the guide is at your disposal, so itinerary tweaks are possible.

Private horse-drawn carriage tour of Marrakech by night

Private horse-drawn carriage tour of Marrakech by night

Marrakech by night has to be seen to be believed. When dusk falls over Jemaa el-Fnaa, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the atmosphere is electric. You'll experience it with a private horse-and-carriage tour of the city in the evening, with time to soak up the magic of the square afterwards. Fatima, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘I'd often go by horse and carriage to get to school from my family's riad in the old medina. Horses, donkeys and mopeds are the only way to travel in the narrow alleys, and there are usually pedestrians, too. There's no point trying to rush in the medina.'Say hello to your horse and driver, then set off on your horse-drawn carriage tour to see the main sights in and around the medina. You'll trot along the 12th-century ramparts and down the main avenue, see the highlights of the Hivernage district, and ride through Bab Jdid, and Bab Ighali, two of Marrakech's ornate city gates. Next, you'll visit the Royal Palace district of Mechouar and head for La Kasbah Mellah, before finishing up at Jemaa el-Fnaa, the UNESCO World Heritage Site that is the beating heart of Marrakech.By day, it's a spacious town square, but by night it reinvents itself and puts on a spellbinding show. As the sun sinks low, stallholders arrive and set up shop. Acrobats flip. Storytellers enchant their audience. Fortune-tellers twist their cards. And cooks' grills sizzle with sweet-scented street food staples. An unmissable Marrakech experience.
