Discover the cinematic sights of the Sahara and vibrant Marrakech, with private or shared transfers and a Marrakech riad stay

More than just a vast desert landscape, the North African Sahara is a place rich in culture, tradition and epic natural beauty, and this incredible adventure takes you deep into this unique part of the world. Journey to centuries-old fortresses built amongst the sand dunes, head up to the High Atlas Mountains, and gaze upon rugged gorges and the famed Kasbah Ait-Ben-Haddou. In Marrakech, you can wander the bustling alleys of the souks, listen out to local musicians performing in the square, or admire it all from afar with a magical air balloon ride.
