This afternoon's immersive culinary journey takes you deep into the medina, where a local guide will share Morocco's essential ingredients, cooking techniques, and rich culinary traditions.

On this three-hour tour, your guide will share fascinating anecdotes and stories, giving you a deeper understanding of the cultural significance of food in Moroccan society.
Explore this enchanting city's sights, sounds, and scents with a local guide. Start at the Jemaa el-Fna, the city's vibrant central square where musicians, snake charmers, storytellers, and street vendors converge every evening, then dive into the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander through souks overflowing with vibrant textiles, aromatic spices, ornate jewelry, and leather goods. Admire the intricate details of the majestic Koutoubia Mosque, and enjoy the serene beauty and opulence of 19th-century Bahia Palace up close.
This afternoon, discover the beauty of the iconic Majorelle Gardens, a blue-hued botanical garden and museum complex created in the 1920s by French artist Jacques Majorelle and made famous by fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent. Explore the sanctuary filled with subtropical plants, bamboo, lilies, palms, and cacti. After, indulge in a relaxing hammam or traditional Moroccan bathhouse experience, a ritual that combines heat, steam, and exfoliation in a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.
This morning you'll swap the medina for the mountains when you take a comfortable private transfer to Imlil, a 90-minute drive away in the High Atlas mountains. Journey through a picturesque valley known for its lush meadows and green gardens, stopping at the small city of Asni.

Then, drive a more secluded mountain road that weaves through traditional Berber villages built from adobe and stones. Enjoy a delicious lunch in a typical home with a local family and fantastic views over the Sidi Fares Valley.
Before heading to the Agafay Desert, you'll visit the Asni Valley, famous for its apple, walnut, almond, and peach trees. Gaze over snowy summits as you take in the beauty of the Tahnaout Valley.
