Long lonely beaches, hidden coves, wild cliffs and steep shores, a superb desert landscape, a few fishing villages and desert camps, Berber nomads with their herds of sheep, goats and camels, the vast panorama of the Atlantic -- these are the highlights of this trek, designed for easy to moderate exertion (two hours daily, from 4 to 6 PM). It's a good trip for beginners as there are no long climbs or high altitudes.Our baggage is transported on camelback from camp to camp.

DAY 1 - DEPARTURE
Board your comfortable aircraft at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York for the quick (5-1/2-hour when flying Royal Air Maroc nonstop) flight across the Atlantic to Casablanca.

DAY 2 - ONWARD to MARRAKECH
Upon arrival in Casablanca, you go through the entry formalities and transfer to your connecting flight to Marrakech. Our staff greets you at the airport in Marrakech and escorts you to your hotel. After settling in, there's time for a look around. Be sure to be in a good place as night falls: Winston Churchill called Marrakech "the most beautiful place in the world at sunset."
Complimentary welcome dinner awaits you at the hotel. If the flight is delayed and the restaurant is closed , then room service will be provided at no additional charge.

DAY 3 - ATLANTIC COAST (BLD) Your adventure continues as we drive by minibus or Land Rover westward along the Atlantic coast. Not far from the medieval walled city of Essaouira, we meet our camels and their drivers at their camp. Loading our baggage onto the camels, we head out along the beach to our first campsite by a small waterfall, with the soothing sound of the Atlantic waves one one side, and the peaceful sounds of daily life from a small Berber farming village on the other. We set up our tents, enjoy our dinner cooked al fresco, and settle into our camp beds for the night.

DAYS 4 to 6 Trekking the Coast & Villages of Morocco- (BLD)
Our trek continues for three days along the Atlantic shore, with excursions to slightly higher elevations to enjoy the superb views. Our second nights' camp is at an elevation of 150 feet, overlooking the beautiful beach. On the third day of our trek, we climb to a plateau at about 360 feet, cross the plateau and descend again to the beach, enjoying views of a picturesque village and a fleet of local fishing boats along the way. Part of our trek follows an old road high above the coast. Our final camping night is on a rocky part of the shore beneath steep cliffs.

DAY 7 - ESSAOUIRA & MARRAKECH (BLD)
Enjoy our final stretch of trekking along the beach, back to Essaouira, which we reach in time for lunch. After a scenic drive through the old city, we continue to Marrakech for dinner, and our hotel for the night.

DAY 8- RETURN HOME (B)
Our staff escorts you to the airport for your flight to Casablanca, and your continuing flight to New York (JFK), and home--with the sand of exotic Morocco in your shoes!
