Whether you’re a first-time surfer or looking to refine your skills, this is an incredible opportunity to experience the thrill of riding the Atlantic waves.

Marrakesh – The City of a Thousand Colors
Leaving the coast behind, we head inland to the vibrant city of Marrakesh, undoubtedly one of the most captivating stops on our journey, a city where history, culture, and vibrant energy come together in an unforgettable experience. We’ll step into the lively chaos of Jemaa el-Fnaa, Africa’s most famous square, where street performers, musicians, and food vendors create a mesmerizing spectacle. The air is filled with the rhythmic beats of drums, the scent of sizzling tagines, and the calls of merchants eager to share their goods.
Jemaa el-Fnaa – The Legendary Square
No visit to Marrakesh is complete without experiencing Jemaa el-Fnaa, the city’s famous central square. By day, it’s a bustling marketplace filled with street performers, herbalists, and traders. As the sun sets, the square transforms into an open-air food market where musicians, storytellers, and snake charmers bring the space to life.
The Enchanting Medina
Step into the old city and lose yourself in the labyrinth of the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with hidden treasures. This historic heart of the city is home to a network of traditional souks, overflowing with colorful textiles, handcrafted jewelry, aromatic spices, and Morocco’s renowned argan oil.
For those who love to explore, shop, and immerse themselves in local culture, Marrakesh is a dream come true. The art of haggling is alive and well here, making every purchase a lively exchange. From its lively atmosphere to its rich history, this city will leave you completely spellbound!

Established in the 15th century, it became home to a thriving Jewish community fleeing persecution in Spain. Here, you’ll find the Lazama Synagogue and a bustling market selling everything from traditional Moroccan fabrics to antique jewelry.
The Road to the Sahara – Following Ancient Caravan Routes
After immersing ourselves in the lively atmosphere of Marrakesh, we set off on an extraordinary journey into the depths of Morocco. Our destination—the vast and awe-inspiring Sahara Desert. As we leave the city’s energy behind, the landscape gradually transforms, revealing endless golden dunes stretching toward the horizon. Along the way, we’ll pass through dramatic mountain passes, fortified villages, and breathtaking valleys, each stop offering a deeper understanding of Morocco’s rich heritage and remarkable natural beauty.

Ait Ben Haddou – Morocco’s Famous Desert Fortress
We’ll visit the spectacular fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar that has served as a backdrop for countless films, including Gladiator and Game of Thrones. This ancient mud-brick citadel is one of Morocco’s most iconic sights.
Ouarzazate – Morocco’s Hollywood
Morocco has always been a favorite destination for filmmakers seeking breathtaking landscapes as the backdrop for their productions. Among its most famous cinematic hubs is Ouarzazate, home to the renowned Atlas Film Studios, established in 1983.
The “Hollywood of the Desert,” this vast studio has hosted the filming of numerous iconic movies and TV series. When no active productions are taking place, visitors can explore the sets and immerse themselves in the world of cinema. Blockbusters such as Game of Thrones, Gladiator, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, and The Jewel of the Nile were all filmed here, making it a must-visit for movie enthusiasts.
Dades – A Canyon of Wonders
The Dades Gorge is a stunning natural masterpiece, famous for its winding mountain roads and awe-inspiring scenery. This dramatic landscape is a dream destination for photographers, hikers, and nature lovers alike. Towering rock walls in rich desert tones of red and ochre rise sharply from the valley floor, contrasting beautifully with the lush greenery of palm groves and cultivated fields.
One of the gorge’s most intriguing features is the “Monkey Fingers”—bizarrely shaped rock formations sculpted by time and the elements. Whether you’re navigating its scenic routes, marveling at the towering cliffs, or discovering its hidden corners, Dades offers a truly unforgettable experience for those exploring Morocco’s rugged beauty.
Todra – A Canyon in Shades of Red
The Todra Gorge is a breathtaking natural spectacle, where towering rock walls in rich shades of red and orange create a dramatic landscape. Carved over centuries by an ancient river, the gorge narrows to just 10 meters in some places, while the cliffs soar over 300 meters high.
A paradise for rock climbers, its sheer vertical walls provide an exhilarating challenge. The colors of the stone shift throughout the day, transforming with the sunlight from soft amber tones to deep crimson hues. Whether you’re an adventurer or simply a lover of stunning landscapes, Todra is an unforgettable stop in Morocco’s rugged terrain.
Sahara – The Infinite Sea of Sand
Welcome to the Sahara, an immense desert that stretches across North Africa, captivating travelers with its endless golden dunes and timeless beauty. Covering parts of 11 countries, including Morocco, it is one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders on Earth. Scientists estimate its age at over 4.6 million years, and fascinatingly, it was once covered in lush vegetation before transforming into the arid landscape we see today.
The Sahara’s rolling sand dunes extend as far as the eye can see, shifting with the wind and glowing under the sun’s ever-changing light. The profound silence and vast emptiness create an almost mystical atmosphere, where one feels transported to another world—peaceful, untouched, and utterly mesmerizing.
Merzouga Dunes – The Doorway to the Desert
The Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga mark the beginning of the vast Sahara, offering one of Morocco’s most iconic desert landscapes. These colossal dunes, the tallest in the country, impress with their immense scale and rich golden-orange hues. Spanning around 20 kilometers in length and 5 kilometers in width, some rise as high as 150 meters, shaping an awe-inspiring panorama.
Merzouga is also known for its abundance of minerals, with mines scattered throughout the region. Traveling from the Todra and Dades Gorges, the scenery gradually shifts—rocky terrain gives way to rolling dunes, signaling the entrance into the endless expanse of the desert.
Camel Trekking – A Journey Through the Dunes
Embark on a truly unique adventure, riding camels across the breathtaking dunes of the Sahara Desert. As we set off into the vast expanse of golden sand stretching endlessly to the horizon, the sheer beauty of the landscape will unfold before us.
Our camels, calm and steady, will guide us through this mesmerizing terrain at a gentle pace, allowing us to fully embrace the stillness of the desert. The only sounds breaking the silence will be the soft padding of hooves against the sand. As the sun shifts in the sky, the dunes will transform in color—from shimmering gold to deep orange and crimson, creating an ever-changing spectacle.
Following the ancient paths once traveled by merchant caravans, we will experience the magic of the desert as explorers once did. This journey is more than just a ride—it’s an immersion into the timeless beauty and serenity of the Sahara, a memory to last a lifetime.
Bonfire Night – Drums Under the Desert Sky
As night falls over the Sahara, the rhythmic beats of Berber drums will fill the air, creating an enchanting atmosphere unlike any other. The hypnotic sounds, blending with the vast desert silence, will transport us into the heart of local traditions.
Gathered around a crackling bonfire, we’ll soak in the warmth on the cool desert night, sharing stories and laughter under a sky bursting with stars. There will be a chance to learn the art of drumming and traditional songs from the Berber people, immersing ourselves in their rich culture. Though the night will pass quickly, its magic and energy will leave a lasting imprint on our memories.
The Sahara Night – A Sky Full of Stars
Far from the glow of city lights, the Sahara’s night sky unfolds in all its brilliance, with millions of stars stretching endlessly above. The vastness of the desert makes the sky feel closer, almost as if the stars could be touched.
The silence here is absolute, so profound that it becomes part of the experience. In this serene and otherworldly setting, we will spend the night in traditional Berber tents or, for those who wish to fully embrace the magic of the desert, under the open sky. Sleeping beneath the stars in the heart of the Sahara is a rare and humbling experience—one that lingers in memory long after the journey ends.
