Overview

- 8 Days Tour From Ouarzazate To The Kasbahs Of Morocco Desert

Go in a tour to the southern Morocco, crossing the most beautiful valleys in the region and a stage at the foot of a sandy desert. Imagine endless stretches of sand, awe-inspiring sunsets and a sky dotted with stars… breathtaking panoramas that can be found in the dunes of Merzouga. But the Moroccan desert is much more than that! The pre-desert valleys of Roses, Dadès and Drâa offer oases bordered by palm groves, caravan villages, vertiginous gorges and kasbahs competing in beauty. These adobe forts make the connection between an architecture like a refined way of life and the surrounding nature, omnipresent even in the walls of the ksour.

Tipping

Tipping is not compulsary, but is encouraged for good service in Morocco. The general rule of thumb is to tip 5~10% in restaurants or to private services such as porters. Your guide and driver would also appreciate this kind of gratitude at the end of your tour. For Taxi Drivers, typically rounding up the fare for convenience is recommended, as well as at market stalls.

Moroccan leather is highly unique and the centuries-old tanning techniques are still practiced across the country today. The most famous tannery is Chouara Tanner of Fez, making it the perfect place to purchase quality, hand-crafted leather goods including slippers, bags, jackets, belts and wallets. Prices for leather goods start at approximately 10 USD.

Berber Rugs
Countrywide

Berber rugs and carpets are traditionally the craftwork of nomadic women from the Middle Atlas region and date back to the 2nd century BC. They are made from virgin wool from the sheep and can be found in souqs across Marrakech in all shades, sizes and shapes. Rug shopowners will encourage you into their store with the offer of tea, but feel no obligation to buy. Rug prices may range from 50 to 1,000+ USD.

Argan Oil
Essauoira & Agadir

Used by the local Amazigh people for its healing properties, Argan Oil is immensly popular in Morocco. It is common to see women sitting on the front step of beauty shops crushing the kerns of the argan tree into paste, which is sold cosmetically for its healing properties to skin and hair. The regions surrounding Essauira and Agadir are the only places in the world where the specific tree grows. In this region you can purchase a quality 150ml bottle of the oil for approximately 20 USD.
