Discover authentic Sahara experiences -- from camel trekking to stargazing under infinite desert skies.
The day begins with a journey back in time: today you’ll discover Fès, the oldest of Morocco’s Imperial Cities and still considered the country’s spiritual and cultural heart. After breakfast, you’ll depart with a licensed guide and private driver to explore the labyrinthine alleys of the Medina, a true medieval maze filled with the scents, sounds, and colors of another era. The tour includes visits to some of the city’s most iconic landmarks: the Bou Inania Madrasa, renowned for its exquisite wood and stucco carvings; the beautiful Najjarine Square with its mosaic fountain; and the famous tanneries, where leather is still processed following centuries-old techniques. You’ll pause in front of the Al Karaouine Mosque, considered one of the oldest universities in the world, and visit the Attarine Medersa, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. The tour then continues into the Ville Nouvelle, the elegant modern quarter, and the Jewish district (Mellah), a quiet reminder of the city’s long history of cultural coexistence. You’ll also stop at the Royal Palace (viewed from the outside), the Merenid Tombs overlooking the city, and a traditional ceramics workshop, where you’ll see firsthand how the stunning pieces found in the souks are made. A truly intense and captivating day, filled with millennia-old architecture, art, and the living traditions of Moroccan daily life. Return to the riad in the afternoon.

Learn to surf at Imsouane, home to Africa's longest right-hand wave — a 600-metre ride that's earned a place on every surfer's bucket list. Our local instructors guide all levels, from absolute first-timers at the gentle Bay break to intermediate surfers tackling the more advanced Cathedral point. Boards, wetsuits, and rashguards are included; sessions adapt to the swell and your skill, whether you have a single morning or several days. Imsouane sits about three hours from Marrakech and is easy to reach from Agadir, making it a perfect day-trip extension or weekend escape from any of our desert tours. Pair with [Yoga in Imsouane](/activities/yoga-imsouane) for a complete wellness day. Beginners welcome — most travellers stand up on their first session.
Begin or end your day with yoga overlooking the Atlantic at Imsouane. Our sessions are designed for every level — Vinyasa flows for the energised, gentle Hatha for restoration, or sunrise and sunset meditation on the cliffs above the bay. Mats, blocks, and towels are provided; sessions can be private or in small groups, and the schedule adapts to your stay length. Imsouane's calm fishing village atmosphere, combined with the rhythm of the ocean, makes this one of Morocco's best spots for unwinding after a Sahara expedition. Combine with [Surf Lessons in Imsouane](/activities/surf-lessons-imsouane) for an active retreat that balances movement and stillness. All levels welcome — including complete beginners and those wanting a deeper practice.
