🌄 7th Day: Dades Gorges - Ouarzazate 🐪
🌅 Right after breakfast ☕, we offer you a short walk through the whimsical landscape of the Dades Gorge. Afterwards, you will drive off-road along the Boutaghar track towards Ouarzazate. 🏜️ Along this track, Berber nomads live in rock caves, whom you can visit to enjoy a glass of tea together. This encounter quickly makes clear how much ancient traditional Berber life still exists today. Not only does the great aridity makes their existence here precarious in terms of provisions and animal husbandry, but raising the children is also a challenging task. 🏞️
🌹 From here, we continue through the "Valley of Roses" 🌺. Due to the numerous rose bushes along the banks of the Oued, the Dades valley received this nickname and is one of the most beautiful natural areas in Morocco. Every year in May, the Rose Festival takes place there. 🌷 Cosmetics and hygiene products are produced and sold here. These goods are appreciated and popular throughout the country. 💄🧼
🌴 Once in Skoura, one of the most beautiful oases in Morocco, a visit to the impressive Kasbah Amredhil, a 17th century citadel, is a must. The grandiose architecture of this mighty structure is truly awe-inspiring. Due to the building material used, "adobe" 🏰, sun-dried clay straw bricks, and the massive wall thicknesses, it stays warm in the buildings in winter and cool in summer. 🌞❄️
After the visit, a 45-minute drive will take you to Ouarzazate, where you will spend the night in a riad. 🌙🏨
🚗 8th Day: Ouarzazate - Marrakech 🌆
After breakfast, you will set off for the Kasbah Aït ben Haddou, a fortified town at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains in south-eastern Morocco. The entire old centre of this "mud-brick town" has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. Aït-Ben-Haddou is one of Morocco's most impressive historical landmarks and dates back to the 17th century. Hollywood blockbusters also frequently use this fabulous setting. 🎥🎬
🏞️ From here, the tour continues through the Ounila Valley, lined with Berber villages and frequently abandoned kasbahs. The Berber gardens there and the play of colours in the rock and soil formations never cease to surprise and inspire. 🌈🌳
You reach Telouet, one of the most historic places in Morocco. The largest Kasbah in the country, that of the Berber prince El Glaoui, once stood here. From here, the highest and most important mountain pass in Africa, the "Tizi-n-Tichka", was controlled. In 1956, the palace and all Glaoui property was confiscated as the owners had looted against King Mohammed V. This seizure by the state and ongoing inheritance disputes among the sons of the Glaoui have prevented the further use and renovation of this kasbah, which meant that looting and decay have prevailed in the subsequent years. Nevertheless, the ornate mosaics and elaborate carvings in the prince's private chambers still give an idea of how magnificent the must have been in its day. 🕌✨
In the late afternoon, you will cross the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass and arrive at Marrakech, your destination for the day.
🌆 9th Day: Marrakech Sightseeing 🕌🌴
Marrakech, a royal city between tradition and modernity.
They say: "If you have a day in Morocco, spend it in Marrakech. If you only have an hour, spend it on Djemaa el Fna!" 🌇
🎪 Djemaa el Fna is the pulsating heart and thriving soul of the "red city". Besides henna tattoos and snake charmers, everything the country has to offer is hawked here. 💃 Haggling is not only encouraged, but is also part of the "good tone", and indeed throughout Morocco. 💰
While during the day, due to the heat, the hustle and bustle remains moderate and many people prefer to stroll through the shady alleys of the souks, life picks up speed at sunset. 🌅 Countless jugglers, storytellers, fire-eaters, musicians and acrobats now take over the Djemaa el Fna. 🎭 In addition, there are plenty of food stalls, nut and fruit vendors, the latter offering freshly squeezed juices. 🍉🥜
In addition to Djemaa el Fna, Marrakech offers a wealth of culture and history. For example, the "blue" garden 🌳 created in 1923 by the French painter Jacques Majorelle, which, with an area of 4000 m², is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world and still the most visited sight in Morocco. Or the landmark of Marrakech, the Koutoubia Mosque, 🕌 which was built in the 12th century and is still the largest mosque in Marrakech. The el Bahia Palace 🏰 as well as the former Koranic school Ben Youssef Medersa located in the heart of the medina, the Saadian tombs ⚱️ and the traditional Jewish quarter "Mellah" are also worth a visit. 🏛️🕍
