General Information

Enjoy this festive season and start the new year with an incredible experience that will take you deeper into the ancient culture of the Berber people of Morocco. From Marrakech we set off to Ait Ben Haddou, the setting for several American films and series, but where the traditional culture is still so deep-rooted. From there we cross the Atlas and visit several villages in the High Atlas where we can experience Berber hospitality at its best. Finally, we arrive at the rocky desert of Agafay, a peculiar desert landscape overlooking snow-capped mountains, where we will have a party and celebrate the entry into a new year in a memorable way. We finish where we started, in Marrakech, where we complete this tour that allows us to get to know the mountains, the desert, the city and tradition.

Note on the September 8th earthquake

My trips always involve the local community, and so in this edition of the trip, €100 from each booking will be donated to the affected communities in the Amizmiz area, which was badly hit by the earthquake.

What to expect from this tour?

Morocco is much more than the sandy desert we usually see in photographs. This trip will take you on a different kind of exploration of Morocco, always in comfort, in a special end-of-year edition. From the studio cinemas that have served as backdrops for such well-known films and series as Game of Thrones, Prison Break or Tomb Raider; to the foot of Mount Toubkal, the second highest point on the African continent.

It will be in the middle of the Agafay desert – a rocky desert overlooking the High Atlas mountain range, as special as this commemorative date – that we will spend a special New Year’s Eve in an iconic luxury camp inspired by the nomadic Berber tribes of North Africa.
