Experience some of the highlights of Morocco on this short but action packaged 5-day tour. On our Morocco Express tour you'll get an opportunity to explore the historic city of Marrakech, with its bustling medina and maze like markets. You'll also leave the city behind, pass over the High Atlas Mountains and head out into the golden sand dunes of the Sahara Desert, where you'll embark on a camel trek and spend the night at an authentic Berber camp, under the starry skies of the desert.
Returning to Marrakech, you'll have a second opportunity to explore the city before heading to the coastal town of Essaouira where you'll have time to explore the port and the old Portuguese streets of the Medina.
Accommodation on this tour is in 3 to 4-star hotels, plus a night in an authentic berber camp whilst in the desert and transportation is either by minivan or 4x4 land cruiser (and of course, camel whilst in the desert!).
