| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Marrakesh | Head to Djemaa el-Fna, the city's central square, where musicians, acrobats and dancers all converge, turning the place into a living theatre at dusk. Get amidst the excitement on a walking tour of the Old Town. |
| Day 2 | Plateau de Kik Mountain Bike | Escape the clamour of Marrakesh in the village of Plateau de Kik. Take to the hills on a mountain bike, passing crop terraces, hidden villages and bizarre rock formations. Later, take a short hike to the village of Armed. |
| Days 3-4 | High Atlas Trek | Perched on a rocky outcrop, tranquil Armed is the base for the next two days. Enjoy a warm welcome from local hosts and after a good night's rest, embark on a scenic hike in the majestic Atlas Mountains. Afterwards, you can rejuvenate with a visit to a local hammam or just kick back on the terrace of our mountain gite. |
| Day 5 | Ait Benhaddou | Explore the maze of alleyways in this World Heritage-listed kasbah, once an important stop for the caravans trading salt, gold, ivory and slaves. Then sit back by the pool to watch the red walls glow at sunset. |
| Day 6 | Dades Gorge | Spend tonight in a nomad tent in the beautiful natural surrounds of Dades Gorge. |
| Day 7 | Todra Gorge | Marvel at impressive limestone cliffs, discover bizarre rock formations and get up close to nature while hiking in the stunning Todra Gorge. |
| Days 8-9 | Marrakesh | Get lost in the tumult of the souqs, where competing merchants' cries create a special kind of symphony. Give in to the temptation of these lavish markets and bag yourself a souvenir or just sit back and enjoy the spectacle. |
