Kasbahs, Camels & Deserts - Overland Trip
1 ½ weeks: Marrakesh to Marrakesh (KU-MOF2)
Sunbaked mud built kasbahs, oases of palm trees, camels, the ever changing colours of the sand dunes as the sun sets, revealing blazing stars and constellations in the night sky are all to be found on this adventure holiday. Starting in the exotic city of Marrakesh, we get our first taste of the orient at the Jamna el Fna square, including snake charmers and smoking open air tagine stalls. Close by are the souks or markets where you can find anything from carpets to Moroccan drums for sale. Heading over the high passes of the Atlas Mountains, the landscape changes to the rocky plains that are the beginning of the desert. Here we will visit the world heritage kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, and Ouarzazate, known as the “Hollywood” of Morocco. Passing the lush date palms and Kasbahs in the Draa Valley, we catch our first real glimpse of the Sahara desert with sand as far as the eye can see. We meet up with our camel team and head out into the dunes for an overnight camel safari, an adventure in itself. It\'s possible to hear the shifting sand in the heat and observe the Scarab beetles running up the dunes.Tour Type: Family Adventure Tour
