Taroudannt
Hidden behind red ramparts, this laid-back town is an excellent place to relax. Be sure to discover the Berber market.

Mirleft
Unwind on a pristine beach in sleepy Mirleft, a town of artists and musicians. Activities like motorcycling and paragliding are possible here for the adventurous.

Watch this town's famous boulder-strewn landscape turn from red to pink to mauve in the light of the setting sun.

Situated in the shadow of the Jebel Bani mountain, this oasis settlement has a lush palmeraie and an interesting old kasbah to explore. Stay in a stylish room overlooking pretty palms and enjoy the magical serenity of the Saharan night.
Day 9
Desert Safari
Hang on tight for a camel ride across the rolling dunes, then settle in for a night at a desert camp, beneath immense Saharan skies.
Day 10
Ait Benhaddou
This former trading hub was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster 'Gladiator'. Explore the intricate clay architecture at your leisure. The best way to finish off the day is with a meal of delicious couscous.
