We will return to the way crossing the high Atlas Mountains and pause to refresh and snap pictures of Hassan Addakhil dam, situated at the Ziz River, about 10km from Errachidia.

One could roam on the streets and through the history of Marrakech for days, weeks, and even months. At every corner and behind every stone, there’s a story to be uncovered, told, and enjoyed.

However, if time is scarce and you only have a few hours to taste the essence of Marrakech, you will need a guide to tour the best attractions of Marrakech. After breakfast, you will step into the car and embark on an unforgettable tour with an expert guide, the kind of storyteller guide who knows the inside-outs of Marrakech.

Once in Rabat, the administrative capital of Morocco, we will tour the city emblem, Hassan Tower.
