Eight stops from Marrakech through the High Atlas and kasbah country to the Sahara.

The first thing we would tell anyone to book in Marrakech.
Before our main tour we did a walking tour of Marrakech with Ali from Get Marrakech — food, history, the medina, the souks and the hidden corners. It completely changed how we saw the city. We'd make it the first thing anyone does in Marrakech.
