Highlights

Marrakesh Airport

Marrakech - “If in Marrakesh were my stories, i would live there”
Arrival at Marrakesh airport, welcome by your guide, transfer to 4-star hotel, overnight stay.
–Meet the unexpected

I have been told of an oasis city that the sun floods with its light and does not leave until it is entrusted to the moon. A city where the olive trees, orange trees and roses of its gardens rival paradise. Colors, atmosphere, perfumes, smiling and welcoming faces. A city of lights, a happy city that knows how to welcome its guests and make them happy.
This city is Marrakesh! And if Marrakesh were my stories, i would live there.

Marrakech

Marrakech - Breakfast, visit of: Bahia palace, Majorelle gardens (residence of the French designer Yves Saint Laurent 10€) and Jemaa el Fna , one of the world’s greatest spectacles. Street food serve all kinds surrounded by what only can be described as a medieval circus.
Whats Jemmaa el Fna square listed by UNESCO World intangible heritage? by Juan Goytosolo
*Agora, theatrical performance. Point of convergence: open and plural space, vast field of ideas, peasants, shepherds, roundworms, merchants coming from bus stations, taxi ranks, drowsy car rental stops. Merged into an idle mass, absorbed in the contemplation of the daily hustle and bustle. Supported by license and heedless of the terrain, in a continuous and capricious movement: immediate contact between strangers, oblivion of social constraints, identification in prayer and laughter, temporary suspension of hierarchies, joyful equality of people. »

You will have the afternoon at your disposal. Overnight in hotel.

Marrakech - Ouarzazate

Ouarzazate - “All you have to do is contemplate a simple grain of sand, and you will see in it all the marvels of creation.” – P. Coelho.
Why you should go?
“Perhaps the logical question to ask at this point is: Why go? The answer is that when a man has been there and undergone the baptism of solitude he can’t help himself. Once he has been under the spell of the vast luminous, silent country, no other place is quite strong enough for him, no other surroundings can provide the supremely satisfying sensation of existing in the midst of something that is absolute. He will go back, whatever the cost in time or money, for the absolute has no price”. Paul Bowls
Breakfast. After a scenic crossing of the High Atlas mountains, you will descend through the stunning canyon of the Draa Valley, after a brief visit of the Kasbah Ait Benhaddou (listed a cultural heritage by Unesco), where were turned several film movies, continue to the desert gate town of Ouarzazate, visit cinema museum. Dinner & night.

Ouarzazate - Merzouga

Merzouga Desert - “I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, you see nothing, you hear nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams…” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
Breakfast, departure for the camp in Merzouga sand dunes,. Enjoy the star-light sky. Dinner and night..
Go up into the dunes,and stand awhile alone. Presently, you will either shiver and hurry back inside the walls, or you will go on standing there and let something very peculiar happen to you, something that everyone who lives there has undergone and which the French call ‘le bapteme de solitude.’ It is a unique sensation, and it has nothing to do with loneliness, A strange, and by no means pleasant, process of reintegration begins inside you, and you have the choice of fighting against it, and insisting on remaining the person you have always been, or letting it take its course. For no one who has stayed in the Sahara for a while is quite the same as when he came.” Paul Bowls
