Description
With a landscape as diverse as
Moroccos, the transportation must be
built to match. The simple pleasures of
just getting around are essential to this
activity-heavy excursion into the desert
kingdom: Mule treks into the Atlas
Mountains, bike rides through ruggedly
beautiful mountain passes, even a camel
caravan to a campsite in the desert. But
its not all tramping about in the dunes
and hills; youll also have the chance to
explore Essaouira, the fortified city on
the Atlantic coast that was once a haven
for pirates.
What's Included
Overnight in a beach tented camp with
camel excursion along the coastal
dunes. Mule trek near Ouirgane. Hike in
the Atlas Mountains. Essaouira
orientation walk. Cycling at Tafraoute.
Meals Included
9 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 4 dinners.
