(9 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Marrakesh, Skoura & Ouarzazate, Atlas Mountains

This luxury tour of Morocco features fascinating cities, ancient ruins, Berber villages, kasbahs and sophisticated dining, shopping and cultural touring. Accommodation is at Morocco's top luxury hotels.

Begin in Marrakesh, a beautiful city of pink buildings, bustling souks (markets), and upscale shops and restaurants. During private touring, explore exquisite Moorish gardens and architectural highlights such as Jardin Majorelle, the Saadian Tombs and the Bahia Palace. See important historic monuments and districts, including the Jewish quarter, Koutoubia Mosque, and Ali ben Youssef Mosque and Madrassa. Also visit museums such as Dar Si Said Museum of Moroccan Arts, the Palmeraie Museum and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. Take an insider tour of the massive souks where shops offer local products such as Berber carpets, lanterns, trays, tilework, argan oil, and Moroccan slippers. Also visit the spice souks, which are stocked with locally harvested saffron, cumin and other ingredients. Also explore Djemaa el-Fna, the city's lively main square. Relax with a glass of Moroccan mint tea at one of our favorite spots, and enjoy reservations at elegant restaurants in restored ryads (guesthouses). One evening, enjoy an exclusive excursion into the nearby Agafay Desert for a sunset camel ride, traditional Berber entertainment, and a private candlelit dinner under the stars. If desired, visit the best boutiques and galleries in Gueliz and other parts of Marrakesh.

Transfer to Skoura. Stay at a luxury resort designed like a kasbah (traditional fort), and if desired, enjoy private touring of regional highlights in Ouarzazate such as Ait Benhaddou, a spectacular ksar (fortified village) and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also see evocative locations used in filming notable movies and TV shows, and browse souks for local handicrafts such as patterned carpets.

Continue in the Atlas Mountains at Kasbah Tamadot, one of Morocco's most acclaimed luxury resorts. Designed like a traditional Moroccan fort, the hillside resort has beautiful grounds and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. During your stay, enjoy private visits to local Berber villages, markets and a local family's home and hiking as desired, as well as time to relax at the resort pool and spa.
