Morocco is one of THE MOST COLORFUL countries in the world. And not only the nature, complexion of the people, and the colours of the facades! Above all, it is culturally colorful.
In only one country you can enjoy the eclectic mixture of the Arab world, the African roots and European (French and Spanish) cultural flavours. Hence the country is a real heaven for everybody that loves beauty, creativity, and authentic tradition, as well as ECLECTICAL CULTURAL BLENDS. This gives many faces to a Moroccan culture.
If you like the ORIENTAL ATHMOSPHERE, you won't be dissapointed. You will feel like a leading role in one of the tales of Arabian Nights exploring the old Medinas (Old Towns) with narrow alleys, sitting under the magical sky in the desert, riding a camel, or bargaining in the ancient markets- called the Souks.
Due to its rich history and its unique geographical position on the crossroads of cultures, Morocco also passes on important knowledge to its visitors. Not only that Moroccans learned well how to coexist in a multi-cultural world, but they can teach us of the values of the community, the importance of sharing and the necessity of caring for eachother.
Our Grand Tour brings the scenery, cultural boutique experiences and flavors of the country into your 13 days.
On our tour we travel through MANY DIVERSE LANDSCAPES. We start at the Atlantic coast with the famous Casablanca, and the Moroccan capital Rabat. From there we continue through the Mezeta's plain and enjoy watching the extensive olive grooves and (even!) vineyards en route to the oldest city of Fes. We dedicate 2 full days to Fes, enjoying in the city's visit for a day and indulging in a direct experience with a hands-on workshop. Continuing across the mountain passes of the Atlas mountains, we enter the land of ancient Kasbahs, palm grooves and fertile valleys amids the dry deserts. At the end of the day we enjoy a camel ride up the sandy Sahara dunes and spend a once-in-a-life-time night in a luxury desert camp and enjoy our desert dream. After crossing the High mountains once more, our last days will be spend in the most fashionable of the Moroccan cities- Marrakech, the Red Pearl of the South. We will spend 4 nights in Marrakech and relax and enjoy the unique artistic and designers athmosphere of the city. Before leaving home we will visit Essaouira, a picturesque fishing town on the shore of the Atlantic Coast and maybe catch a glimpse of the famous sunset on the ocean from the impressive ramparts.
This tour isn't just a travel through, but instead invites you into an EXPERIENCE OF THE CULTURE. We travel into the country, not only in and around the country. We do this via:
1. staying in elegant boutique Moroccan Riad hotels and Villas, and for an unforgettable night in a luxury desert camp
2. indulging in the tastes and flavors of the world famous Moroccan Cuisine and getting into a tradition of Moroccan tea drinking. We included many of the meals to the program so that you will be able to try as many new tastes as possible, and we also included a few exceptionally beautiful meals for you to feel (and eat) like a Sultan.
3. joining in some hands-on workshops, where you will learn a new skill (or two) and we are sure they will bring new creative ideas into your home living also
4. unique guiding of Alja. She is a professional tour leader and the owner of Elegant Cultural Tours and will be acompaning you on this tour. Alja has done more than 550 days of guiding in Morocco (ever since 2006 on more than 50 tours across the country, from North to South) with different groups. She is also a professor of Art History and Sociology, so you can expect a lot of beauty, interesting insights, her rich knowledge of bringing cultures from around the world into her narrative of Morocco, and a deep love for working with guests.
Your Tour Director: ALJA MRAVLJAK
Our tours are led by the owner of Elegant Cultural Tours Ltd., Alja Mravljak. She is a Professor of Art History and Sociology of Culture, but had only worked in the sector for a while before deciding to bring her talent and passion for teaching into tourism and guiding. This happened in 2002, and she has been organising and leading groups as a full-time job to different places around the Globe ever since.
Her specialist destinations are Morocco, Cuba, Ireland and Scotland, China, Turkey (where she lived for 3 years), and Central Europe (Slovenia, Italy, Austria, and Prague where she did a part of her studies of Art History).
BUT WHAT DOES SHE BRING TO OUR TOURS?
A lot. Alja shares with you everything beautiful, from boutique places she personally selects, leading you through the unforgettable galleries and museums and their collections, planning special immersive activities that take you deeper into a unique culture. Alja is a natural born educator, so all her briefings and her selection of activities aim at bringing a better knowledge and understanding of the visited culture, the travel and the world in general. Her topics and talks are lighthearted and she relaxes them with her charm and a unique sense of humour. Our guests described Alja's personality and guiding style as authentic and meaningful, with always the right amount of informations and never dull. Our guests also deeply appreciate her respect and love for the local culture and the people of the countries she leads groups to.
You can arrive on the day, or a day before and get some rest before we start the tour. In the evening, we meet in the lobby of our Riad hotel for a welcome cocktail and a short briefing on our tour, and then enjoy our first elegant dinner at an iconic Marrakchi restaurant.
INCLUDED
Overnight: A boutique Riad hotel in the center of Marrakech
Meals: Dinner
After a quiet and elegant breakfast at the Riad we start the day of exploration. Marrakech has a proud and long history that stretches from the 11th century onwards. On our way through the city we visit important heritage buildings and cultural sites. We pass by the symbol of the city, and the highest building, the minaret Koutoubia with its gardens and a park, continue to get to know the procedures of tanning the leather, also known as a precious (soft and pliable) Leather Maroquin in the past. We walk through the Mellah, the old Jewish Quarter and peek inside the most famous Synagogue. We can't but to stop at the heart of the old town, the Jemaa el- Fna square, a UNESCO site of culture, music and religious traditions. On our walk through the Souks (Markets) we visit a medieval Koranik school, Ben Youssef Madrasa where we enjoy in fantastic craftsmanship and intriguing patterns of the mosaics that decorate the building. We learn of the demanding scholarly path of its former students.
In the afternoon it is time to relax, and enjoy in a tranquility of the hidden jewels of the Medina. After a relaxing lunch in a lush garden oasis, we visit the beautiful Dar El Bacha Museum of Confluences and enjoy in a vast selection of coffees in their eclectic style bar.
We end the visits in a Secret Garden, tiled with green mosaic floors, blossoming orange trees and their enchanting scent, free time in the afternoon feels so good to our feet.
Dinner is in a secret p(a)lace today.
INCLUDED
Overnight: A boutique Riad hotel in the center of Marrakech
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
After the breakfast at our lovely Riad hotel, we take the late morning for a visit of the late Yves Saint Laurent's blue Majorelle garden. An intimate garden is a loving collection of Cactae and Succulent plants, topped with high palm trees. This garden is a one of a kind! We spend enough time in the garden for you to visit the luxurious souvenir shop, as well as enjoy in their rather generous selection of teas together with sweet and savoury treats in the traditional cafe. A part of the garden is also a tiny museum of Berber Costumes and Jewelry that is well worth a visit.
We continue to a private art gallery. We are inspired by a rich fusion of traditions and styles in Moroccan contemporary Art. An art expert is there to give you new insights and advise on a purchase, should you decide to buy art.
We enjoy in a light lunch today, cooked especially for us by a local community where we get to know our first Moroccan cooperative that supports and employs ladies who have no other means of earning for their living. We, too support them with a small donation, but above all we bring our curiosity and show interest for their everyday's life and the things they produce. They welcome us warmly and together we enjoy in the visit.
After a day of high fashion and beauty we conclude our experience with a short hands-on workshop that allows you to explore and step out of your comfort zone to maybe discover a new interest, or create something new. A bit of free time feels good in the afternoon and then we gather again for an elegant dinner in a special place.
INCLUDED
Overnight: A boutique Riad hotel in the center of Marrakech
Meals: Breakfast, Simple Lunch, Dinner
After a quiet breakfast at our Riad hotel we leave Marrakech today to visit the valleys of High Atlas Mountains and its Berber people.
After a short drive from the city we visit an art garden Anima, and then continue toward the mountains. The roads take us toward the green valleys and we enter the world of the High Atlas and its traditional Amazigh (Berber) villages. We are invited to a couscous lunch with the local family where we discuss many things about life and relationships. We get to know the roles of the lady of the house and the man and maybe imagine what living here would be like for us. We stretch our legs in an easy walk to breath in the fresh mountain air. It feels good to be in nature!
We take our afternoon tea in the famous mountain luxury resort Kasbah Tamadot, a Moroccan home of Sir Richard Branson where we enjoy in their garden with the many views of the high mountains. We visit and learn of the Eve Branson Foundation. Eve, Richard's mother started this small non-profit in a village of Asni with an idea of helping the local Amazigh (Berber) people build their mountain community. This is an inspiring story of cooperation, learning and sustainable development planning. We can learn so much from the resilient local community and maybe get some new ideas for our home projects!
Afternoon calls us toward the desert. We had long waited to see the famous Agafay desert under the mountains. An afternoon turns into an evening. Our dinner is served in the luxury desert camp where we stay for the night and there isn't a better entertainment than the sound of traditional Berber drums when we are seated around the fireplace. We spend the night in a tent, under a million stars...
INCLUDED

Meals: Breakfast, Couscous Lunch with the local family, Dinner
Following a desert breakfast at our Luxury Camp, we have intentionally scheduled a later start to today’s program, allowing you to relish your personal time in the mesmerizing desert. You have the freedom to sleep in, embark on a leisurely stroll, or perhaps indulge in an early morning camel ride, embracing the serenity of the early hours.
Around mid-day, we make our return to the city of Marrakech.
Now, there is a captivating secret behind the impeccable complexions of the Moroccan people- their weekly visits to a rejuvenating haven known as the Hammam, a sanctuary of indulgence and tranquillity. After your dusty desert adventure, you, too, will have the pleasure of embracing the rituals of the Hammam, immersing yourself in its rejuvenating embrace. Following this revitalizing experience, the evening awaits you in Marrakech, allowing you to unwind at your leisure and savour the enchanting evening ambience of the city.

SHOPPING THE SOUKS WITH A STYLIST OR AN INTERIOR DESIGNER (duration up to 2h, minimum 2 guests)
Before mid-day we want to invite you to a special treat- a visit and shopping in the Souks of Marrakech (the Markets) with a Stylist, or an Interior Designer. You get to know the parts of the souk that only they know, explore items they love, and get inspired by buying souvenirs for yourself, your family and friends to take home with you.
A VINTAGE SIDECAR RIDE (duration up to 1.5h, minimum 1 guest)
If you are more of an adventurer, we think you will love this ride with a vintage motorbike in a sidecar. The bike will take you either to the outskirts of the city, to the area of luxury villas, and a palm grove called, Palmeraie or around the streets of the French quarter of Gueliz, famous for its art deco buildings and remainings of the 1930's local life. The direction is up to you. Sidecar experience is limited in number of guests, so be sure to let us know about your decision at the time of booking.

Bring at least 3-4 different outfits for best photographs and they will provide you with all other equipment – such as the Berber jewelery- for an unforgettable experience and a beautiful souvenir to take home with you.
Whatever your choice of the day is, be sure to be »home« to your hotel early to prepare for our elegant and special last dinner. Bring your best outfit and indulge in a luxury experience that will wrap up our days in the city in style. (The restaurant has a Smart Casual dress code)

END OF THE TOUR

EXTENSION ESSAOUIRA
If you decided to visit Essaouira, then this is the first day of the Extension.
INCLUDED
Meals: Breakfast
After a serene desert morning in our camp and fresh-made breakfast we leave the desert, and head toward the North-West. Soon we see the High Atlas again, but the desert is still full of surprises and some of them are hidden underground in shape of water tunnels that run for as far as 70km (43 mls). We visit a small section (with no water) and then head toward the Mountains. If time permits, we will also visit a local Berber museum with traditional tools that helped people to survive in this dry and demanding environment.
The most spectacular almost 400m (1,312 ft) high limestone rocks form the Todgha George. Standing in the shade of the rocks we can’t but to feel small and respectful of the forces of nature. In the afternoon we travel under the mountains and observe ancient villages as we conquer the Valley of 1000 Kasbahs. At times it feels like a rose scent gets caught up in our nose, and indeed we can see kilometres of rose bushes planted in the Valley of Roses. They only blossom at the beginning of May, but the pink colour and many shops with rose products are an unmistakable sign that roses live here.
In the late afternoon we reach an oasis and stay the night in a boutique Kasbah in the shade of the palm trees. This is our last night in the desert, and we enjoy the silence.
INCLUDED
Overnight: A boutique Riad hotel in the Medina of Essaouira
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
After breakfast in our hotel we get to know Ouarzazate and its treasure- the famous 17th century fortress of the Glaoui family, kasbah Taourirt. We remember the movies that were born behind the walls of the Atlas Film Studios- the list is long! And soon we are standing on the site of the Gladiator movie’s first battle. We are now visiting Ksar Ait Ben Haddou, undisputedly the most famous Moroccan village. The Ksar is not inhabited at the moment, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a lot going on. It is also a place of artists who paint and they sell their paintings in small shops. Shopping here is sometimes quite surprising, and one can find special things that would be hard to find in other places like precious antiquities.
After a quiet lunch we are ready to hit the road across the High Atlas for the last time on our Grand Tour on our way to Marrakech.
We arrive to Marrakech in the late afternoon, just in time to relax in our hotel, sitting at the pool and enjoying in a Moroccan tea and cookies. Evening is at leisure.
INCLUDED
Overnight: A boutique Riad hotel in the centre of Marrakech
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch (at the cooking workshop), Dinner, a Cocktail
Marrakech is the Berber capital of the South. It is also a red city and a fantastic backdrop to any photography lover.
We experience the eclectic vibes of the city, combining Islamic, Berber and European fashion and designs. We have been exploring the traditional Morocco for many days now, so it is time to enjoy the fusion of contemporary and modern. Marrakech is a city of design, and active contemporary art galleries with eclectical creative vibes. We get inspired on every step of the way through its kilometres long Souks (markets), lush gardens and designer’s dining venues. We indulge into the best the city has to offer and relax only for a special dinner after the sun has already set above The Red City.
