The Secret South of Morocco: An Exclusive Road Trip With a Private Driver

Today, you’ll leave Azrarag behind and head towards the ocean. You’ll stop in the Souss Massa region for a relaxing lunch before arriving in the lush palm grove of Tighmert. Tonight, you’ll stay in a house equipped with a large terrace and wonderful outdoor lounge.

Your next stop is the Agadir of Amtoudi, around an hour and three quarters away. This fortified granary was used up until the 1950s, and you’ll complete the final ascent to it either on foot or on the back of a mule. You’ll enjoy lunch on site with an exceptional panorama before driving on to Akka to discover one of the largest and most beautiful palm groves in southern Morocco. When you’ve finished exploring, you’ll continue your drive until you reach Aoujou – not far from Issafen – and the exclusive Maison Rouge. This timeless red stone building seduces with its breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains, and it’s yours to call home this evening.

You’ll travel to Aït Kine today, an Amazigh mountain village where inhabitants have kept their heritage alive by restoring and using the old collective granary. Lunch is a picnic in this charming spot before heading into the desert to a nomadic camp on the shores of dry Lake Iriqui. Your tent will have a terrace where you can relax and gaze at the stars and the surrounding sand dunes. Come nightfall, lose yourself in the magical experience of being enveloped in the silence of the desert.

Today you’ll head to the palm grove of Skoura for the final stage of your trip. Spend two nights here in a traditional house set in a beautiful garden where almond trees, rosebushes and jasmines set the tranquil tone. During your stay, enjoy each meal in a different spot so you can appreciate every inch of this special place.

There’s plenty to get stuck into while you’re here, whether a siesta in the shade of century-old palm trees or a ride on the back of a camel or mule. To relax, choose from taking a dip in the swimming pool or heading to the hammam. One massage per person is also included to help you totally unwind during your last few days in Morocco. If you want to explore, you can head out into the valley of almond trees to see the white flowers in bloom, or trek in the Valley of Roses. We’ll also arrange for you to take a cooking class and enjoy themed evenings in the dar. Finally, don’t miss a sunset aperitif in the magical candlelit garden where you can toast to your fabulous adventure.
