Your Marrakech adventure begins the moment you land, with VIP fast-track service whisking you through the airport and into the heart of the mesmerizing Medina. Settle into your authentic riad accommodation, an oasis of tranquility amidst the vibrant city pulse. As you step through the ornate doorway of your traditional Moroccan haven, you'll be transported to another world where intricate tilework, lush interior courtyards, and legendary hospitality set the stage for your Moroccan escape.
Wander through the labyrinthine alleys of the UNESCO-listed Medina, where every corner reveals new treasures—from the rainbow-hued spice pyramids and handcrafted lanterns to the skilled artisans practicing centuries-old crafts. Let your senses be your guide as you navigate this intoxicating maze with an expert who'll unveil hidden gems most travelers never discover.
Delve into Morocco's renowned culinary traditions with a hands-on cooking class, where you'll transform fresh market ingredients into aromatic tagines and delicate pastries under the guidance of a master chef. Then journey beyond the city walls to the mesmerizing stone desert of Agafay, where you'll ride camels across the lunar-like landscape as the setting sun paints the Atlas Mountains in gold and amber hues. As night falls, dine beneath the vast Moroccan sky, surrounded by flickering lanterns and the gentle notes of traditional music.
Indulge in pure relaxation with a traditional Hammam ritual, where steam, black soap, and skilled hands will exfoliate and rejuvenate your body, leaving you in a state of blissful tranquility.

Itinerary
Arrival in Marrakech Itinerary
Morning: Arrive in Marrakech
Your journey begins as you land at Marrakech Menara Airport, where the warm North African air welcomes you. After clearing customs and collecting your luggage, you'll find your pre-arranged private transfer waiting to whisk you to your accommodation.
Afternoon: Transfer to Riad & Medina Tour
Your driver will navigate through the bustling streets of Marrakech to your traditional riad - a beautiful Moroccan house with an interior garden or courtyard. These accommodations offer an authentic glimpse into Moroccan architecture and hospitality.
After settling in and refreshing yourself, a local guide will meet you for a short introductory tour of the medina (old city). This UNESCO World Heritage site is a maze of narrow, winding streets filled with:
- Colorful souks (markets) selling spices, textiles, ceramics, and artisanal crafts
- Historic landmarks like the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque with its distinctive minaret
- Hidden derbs (alleyways) leading to unexpected treasures
- Street performers and traditional water sellers in colorful costumes
Evening: Authentic Moroccan Dinner
As evening falls, you'll experience your first authentic Moroccan dinner. This might be at your riad or at a carefully selected restaurant in the medina. The meal typically begins with a selection of Moroccan salads and bread, followed by a tagine - a slow-cooked stew named after the conical earthenware pot it's prepared in. Lamb, chicken, or vegetable tagines are seasoned with combinations of saffron, cumin, cinnamon, and preserved lemons.
For dessert, expect sweet pastries infused with honey and nuts, accompanied by refreshing mint tea poured from height in the traditional manner. The dinner setting might feature glowing lanterns, traditional Moroccan music, and perhaps even some light entertainment.
