MOROCCO | A 9 Day Group Tour | Ep1: Marrakesh to the Sahara

S. Doukalli

Last update :

I recently got to travel around Morocco on a 9 day group tour.

This was my first time in the country and is documented in a new 2 part travel documentary series.

In this first episode we explore the medina in Marrakech; drive through the High Atlas Mountains;

visited the Gladiator and Game of Thrones location of Ait Benhaddou; drove through the Draa Valley to Zagora; spent a night in the Sahara desert including a camel ride and camping under the stars

The difference with this tour is it's the first one I've hosted and organised myself. Working with Intrepid Travel we created a bespoke itinerary and put it on sale to my followers.
