Marrakech Express

Enjoy bird’s-eye views of Morocco’s deserts and the foothills of the Atlas Mountains on a sunrise hot-air balloon ride from Marrakech. Ride a 4x4 to the launch spot in the early morning and drift through the dawn skies over the desert valleys and hillsides just as the sun casts them in gold, orange and pink. Then, land safely back on ground to enjoy a tasty Berber breakfast and memorable camel ride. A flight certificate to commemorate your balloon ride is also included.

Marrakesh is a buzzing city and it can quickly get very complicated to find its way in the maze of narrow streets, and in the world of the souks. This guided tour with a private guide is perfect to make the most of the city in a few hours.

You will see:

• a variety of quarters established by craftsmen, according to a structured system of corporation
• souks of basketwork, dried fruit, spices, clothes, wool, skins, Berber carpet, leatherwork, ironwork, jewelry and more!
• the Rue du Souk Smarine which leads into the Place rahba Kedima, where a slave market was once held
• apothecary shops here and there
• Djemaa El Fna Square, this traditional meeting place where peasants and merchants met to trade
• fruit and spice sellers, guerrab with their leather water bottles and metal drinking cups, basket sellers, ironmongers and barbers
• the Gnaoua dancers descended from former Guinean slaves, musicians, story tellers, snake charmers and entertainers with performing monkeys

PS: there will be lots of time for bargaining!
