The perfect week in North Africa: riad accommodation, Marrakech sightseeing, the Atlas Mountains and coastal town of Essaouira
The 'pink city' of Marrakech sits just north of the High Atlas Mountains which provide a magnificent backdrop to this exotic city. We explore the medina, the palace walls, museums and gardens as well as wandering through the busy souks. A night time visit to the colourful Djemaa el Fna is not to be missed.
Explore the charming medina of Essaouira, lunch at the fish stalls by the harbour and enjoy a walk (or a camel ride!) on the long sandy beach. Leisurely walks in the High Atlas Mountains offer the opportunity to visit Berber villages and gain an insight into the life of these hospitable mountain people. The trip offers beautiful riad accommodation in Marrakech and Essaouira and a wonderful insight into three very different aspects of this vibrant and colourful country.
