Slow Morocco: riad, desert, nothing else

Most Morocco itineraries move you every night. This one doesn't. Two hotels across seven days, one night in the sand between them, and afternoons with nothing in them on purpose.

Day by day

This is our version. Say the word and we'll move, stretch or cut any of it.

DAYS 01–03
arrival only

Marrakech, one riad, three nights

Unpack once. One guided medina morning, one Atlas day, and one entirely empty. Dinners booked only if you want them booked.

DAY 04
~7h driving

East to the sand

The long day, done comfortably: proper stops, a real lunch, arrival at camp for the last of the light rather than in the dark.

DAY 05
~7h driving

Sunrise, then west again

Up for the light, then back over the pass. We break it properly — this is the only day that asks anything of you.

DAYS 06–07
no driving

Back at the riad, doing nothing

Hammam if you want it, the pool if you don't, and a departure transfer whenever your flight is.

Honeymoon?

Say so when you write and we'll arrange the quiet things — the room, the table, the private dinner at camp — without turning it into a package.

Questions people ask before enquiring

No. You get the written plan and a price range for your dates with nothing to pay and no card details. Most people ask two or three rounds of questions before deciding — that's normal and welcome.
