This 7-night holiday combines Marrakech, a High Atlas day trip, a night in Agafay Desert and a relaxed finish on Morocco's Atlantic coast.

Marrakech

Marrakech Twin Centre

The Kasbah is part of Marrakech’s walled old city, and it’s a brilliant place to begin a holiday to Marrakech. You’ll start with a guided walk that takes you from palace courtyards and richly decorated buildings to the workshops and shared bakery that make up daily life. A full day in the High Atlas follows, with mountain paths and lunch in a local family’s home. Then stay in Marrakech, but spend your days differently. Your second base has a more resort-style feel, so you can swim, book a spa treatment, or go back into the medina when you fancy another look. It’s a week that gives you both a proper introduction to the city and time to follow your own plans.

Marrakech

Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains

Marrakech can be dazzling and a little disorientating. That’s part of the fun, but having someone show you the way is a very good start. Spend three nights in a riad inside the medina, the city’s walled old quarter. A full-day guided walk connects the famous landmarks with places you might otherwise pass by, from a communal bakery to working craft studios. The next day, pick out ingredients at the market and turn them into lunch in a family home. Then leave the city for three nights in the High Atlas foothills. An included day in the Ourika Valley introduces you to local growers, a women’s cooperative, and village artisans. Keep your final full day free for a guided walk in the hills or an afternoon by the pool.

Marrakech

Luxury Marrakech and Coast

La Sultana has made a name for itself with small, distinctive hotels that feel rooted in Morocco. In Marrakech, five restored riads form a hotel of just 28 individually designed rooms, with ornate courtyards, a hammam, and a rooftop above the Kasbah, the medina’s historic royal quarter. From this luxury base, you’ll have time to get to know the old city with a guide before an excursion takes you into the Atlas Mountains. Then travel west to Oualidia, a fishing town on the Atlantic coast. A natural barrier shelters its tidal lagoon from the open ocean, creating a landscape of oyster beds, salt marshes, and birdlife. La Sultana Oualidia sits at the water’s edge, with only 12 rooms and suites, a spa, gardens, and a pool overlooking the lagoon. Four nights give you time to explore it all or simply stay put and watch the tides.

Marrakech

Marrakech, Mountains and Beach

Few days look alike on this trip. One takes you through Marrakech’s medina, the walled old city where palace courtyards sit alongside working shops and neighbourhood bakeries. Another begins at a market and ends with lunch you’ve made in a family home. In the Atlas foothills, you’ll meet growers, cooperative members, and artisans on an included day in the Ourika Valley. Then the landscape opens onto the Atlantic. Your coastal base could be beside Agadir’s broad bay or farther north at Imi Ouaddar, with an excursion inland to Taroudant and its busy trading souks. Add three nights on the coast if you’d like a longer finish by the sea.
