Itinerary
Your journey begins in the soft golden hour of a Saturday evening. Upon arriving at Marrakech Menara Airport, your private driver will greet you. You’re not rushed, but welcomed. We’ll escort you to your chosen accommodation—a charming riad, a boutique hotel, or a private villa—where you can settle in. As dusk falls, your introduction to Morocco begins: a welcome dinner at a curated rooftop restaurant, where the flicker of lanterns and the scent of spices mingle with the call to prayer, creating a gentle ceremony of arrival.
By morning, the soul of Marrakech opens up to you through saffron and cumin. Your day starts with a hands-on cooking class, where you don’t just learn a recipe, you inherit a ritual. Guided by our chef, you’ll visit a local spice market before preparing your own traditional Moroccan lunch. The afternoon unveils the city’s secrets, as your private guide leads you through hidden veins of the medina, behind ornate wooden doors and past stunning mosaic walls, sharing stories that make the ancient city breathe.
The morning is yours to design. Choose between the deep relaxation of a traditional hammam and massage, or a quiet hunt for artisanal treasures in the souks. In the afternoon, we leave the city’s rhythm behind for the profound silence of the Agafay Desert. Here, poolside calm melts into an evening of music and firelight. Enjoy an optional camel ride at sunset before settling in for a spectacular dinner show under the stars. You’ll spend the night in a private luxury tent, surrounded by the stillness of the desert.
Wake to the crisp desert air and a panoramic sunrise. A relaxed breakfast is served on the terrace, where the final moments of peace are yours to savor. You’ll have the morning to unwind before your private transfer to the airport for your evening flight, carrying the warmth and wonder of Morocco with you.
