Welcome to Marrakech! We have a week of yoga, wellness, and adventures planned, and each day will be more exciting than the last. For today, we'll transfer to our gorgeous riad in Marrakech and kick things off with a quick orientation tour. After you are introduced to the Red City, we'll begin the first wellness session of the trip. With time dedicated to yoga, meditation, and massage, you will experience a deep rejuvenation of your mind, body, and spirit. Finally, after dinner, we'll wrap up the day and head to bed.
Good morning! The sun is rising on your first full day in Morocco, and we're wasting no time. We'll greet the morning with a session of yoga that will help you sink deeper into your practice before we begin a Marrakech city tour. We will visit all of the most iconic sites in the city: the Koutoubia Mosque, the Manara Pavilion, the tombs of the Saadian sultans, the Bahia Palace, El Badii palace, and the Majorelle Gardens. After a quick break for lunch, we'll visit Jemaa El Fna square to experience the unique energy of Marrakech's market culture. The rest of the day will be spent at the riad with yoga, food, and some free time to rest.
Today offers a change of scenery with a day trip to Imlil. Situated in the Atlas Mountains, this village is known for excellent views and a deeply interesting culture. Once we arrive, we'll meet with a guide to begin a trek around the area. We'll have multiple stops while we're here, with the first being the museum in Toubkal National Park. We'll get a taste for the local cuisine by stopping in for lunch at a restaurant in Imlil before we trek to Imlil's famous waterfall. Finally, as evening descends on the mountains, it's back to the riad for another evening focused on wellness.
Another day, another day trip! After our routine of yoga and breakfast, it's off to Essaouira. This quiet coastal town is a hidden gem here in Morocco, and we'll have plenty of time to experience it fully today. As soon as we arrive, we'll begin a sightseeing tour of its busy medina, with views of the ocean and the ancient walls that once acted as a fortress for the city. After our tour, we'll head to our accommodation and settle in for a night of yoga.
The sun is bouncing off the coast this morning in Essaouira, and we've got a bit of time in this wonderful city before we return to Marrakech. A calm morning will lead us to a visit to some local argan oil companies to learn about one of Essaouira's most important products. This enlightening excursion will help you understand how a seemingly traditional city like Essaouira functions in the modern day financial climate. Afterwards, we'll transfer back to Marrakech where we can enjoy some free time in the evening, a relaxing yoga session, and dinner at leisure. Just sit back and feel like royalty in your riad!
It's our last full day in Morocco, and we're going to make our time count. Our first activity of the day is a trekking tour in the beautiful, sweeping Ourika Valley. Here, you'll discover gushing waterfalls, a welcome respite from the dry climate of the desert. Of course, it's only fitting that we head from here to the Agafay Desert for one last romp in the sand! Here, we'll ride atop camels for a sunset photoshoot amongst the dunes before eating a delicious dinner at a nearby desert camp. With this quintessential Moroccan experience in our back pockets, we'll return to Marrakech and prepare for the long journey home in the morning.
Our time in Morocco comes to an end today! After an incredible trip that incorporated yoga, city tours, time in nature, and more, we'll pack our bags and head to the airport this morning. Thanks so much for joining us, and we hope you fly home with a calm, centered mind!
