Saharan Sands Family Holiday

Unique adventure through Saharan Sands

Leaving the desert behind, you visit the fortified village of Ait Benhaddou and perhaps take the option to visit the nearby film studios. Crossing the imposing Atlas Mountains your journey ends in vibrant Marrakech. The main square is like a medieval carnival filled with snake charmers, jugglers and acrobats. The narrow alleyways of the souks feature hundreds of small shops, each like an Aladdin's cave - perhaps you'll find a mysterious lamp or a pair of magic slippers!

Camping out amongst the dunes you are engulfed by the solitude and dazzled by the stars of the desert sky. As dawn breaks, the camp stirs and the caravan forms once more to move off for your second day's trek.

From Ouarzazate you head for an oasis to join your camel caravan and strike out into the Sahara Desert. You'll experience the pace, life and hospitality of the nomads who for centuries have taken trading caravans across the desert.
