The route
Where this journey takes you
Marrakech
High Atlas
Southern valleys
Kasbah country, oases and village life
Sahara
Onward arrangements agreed during planning
The route is a starting point. Exact stops, overnight stays and onward arrangements are agreed in your proposal.
Why this journey
The south, beyond the scenery
The route moves from Marrakech through the High Atlas into kasbah country, oases and the Sahara. Landscape is the thread, but the architecture and lives shaped by it are just as much a part of the journey.
The sequence gives mountain country and the southern valleys their own time before the desert. It suits curious travellers who enjoy an overland journey and want to understand the places between the major stops. The pace, comfort and onward arrangements are shaped with you.
