ATHENS -> MARRAKECH

Morocco is a journey to another world - full of color, aroma and contrasts!
From the chaotic alleys of Marrakech to the serenity of the Atlas Mountains and from the golden dunes of the Sahara to the Berber villages, every moment is a new revelation.

It is a country where minarets meet camels, spices mix with desert dust and tradition dances alongside modern adventure.

If you are ready for a trip that has it all - mountains, canyons, desert, colorful cities - then get ready.

Walk through ancient kasbahs, taste mint tea under a starry sky, sleep in the shade of the dunes and listen to the silence of the desert.
ComboRide takes you on a journey to Morocco. And this time, the adventure has the scent of cinnamon and sand. 🐪🔥

    MARRAKECH

    The Red City Escape – A Day Through Colors & Chaos

    Welcome to the “Red City”!

    Upon arrival at Marrakech airport, we are transferred to our accommodation in the heart of the city.
    We begin our journey through the smells, colors and pulse of Morocco, visiting the Koutoubia Mosque, El Badi Palace, the Saadian Tombs and of course the Majorelle Gardens, Yves Saint Laurent’s botanical masterpiece – an oasis of calm and cobalt blue amidst the chaos.

    When it’s time to eat, we avoid the tourist traps and go where the locals eat — to Mechoui Alley for grilled lamb or to a small shop for authentic Tanjia in a clay pot.

    🕌 Overnight stay at a hotel in Marrakech

    Imlil

    Day 2 
    Sunday 17 May
    IMLIL

    Serenity & Berber Charm in the Heart of the Atlas (Marrakech → Imlil → Toubkal Base)

    Acclimatization Day

    After breakfast, we leave behind the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and climb to Imlil (1,740m), the gateway to the Toubkal National Park and the heart of the Berbers.

    Here we split into two groups

    🌄 Two groups, one adventure!

    During the two days of climbing the Atlas, we will split into two groups:

    The summit group (Trekkers) will attempt the climb to the imposing Toubkal (4,167m).

    The Hikers group will enjoy alternative routes, visits to Berber villages and natural landscapes full of authenticity and color.

    The Trekkers team...

    We meet our mountain guide and begin the journey to Aroumd (2,000m), a picturesque village with terraces, mules and authentic Moroccan life.

    We pass by the sanctuary of Sidi Chamarouh, a place of pilgrimage and symbol of strength, and continue to the Toubkal mountain refuge (3,200m), where we spend the night under the starry sky of the Atlas.

    🎒 Adventure level: Gold – An experience of a lifetime begins!
    📸 Photography level: Unlisted!

    ⛺ Overnight at Toubkal base camp at 3,200 meters

    The Hikers team...

    With our experienced guide we will walk the circular route that passes through five Berber villages surrounding the village of Imlil, offering stunning views, traditional architecture and authentic cultural encounters. We will explore the network of traditional Berber settlements throughout the Imlil Valley, connected by ancient paths, through the magnificent landscapes that make the Imlil Valley famous.

    As local Berbers, we will experience genuine cultural exchange and not staged tourist experiences.

    🏡 Overnight stay in a guesthouse in Imlil

    Toubkal

    Day 3 
    Monday 18 May
    THE BIG DAY!

    Climbing to the top of Toubkal (4,167m)

    The Trekkers Group..

    We start before dawn. At first light of day, we begin the climb to the highest peak in North Africa.
    At the top, Morocco spreads out before us - the Sahara to the east, the Atlantic to the west, and we find ourselves in the middle of a world of stone, air and light.

    We descend back to the refuge for lunch and continue the descent to Imlil for an unforgettable evening and celebration of success!

    ​​

    The Hikers Group...
    We begin an escape to the Ourika Valley full of images and aromas! We will hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls, pass through traditional Berber villages, where time flows slowly and smiles abound, and enjoy lunch by the river, under the shade of plane trees.

    A day that combines nature, adventure and authentic Moroccan soul - the ideal break from the color and rhythm of Marrakech. ☀️

    In the afternoon, the Trekkers return from the mountain and we all become a team again.

    Here, a traditional bath (hammam) for deep relaxation after the hike is just what you need! (*optional)

    In front of us, a landscape that is constantly changing: from lush green valleys to arid gorges, from Berber villages to stone kasbahs.

    We visit the ancient Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO monument and setting for films such as Gladiator, The Mummy and Game of Thrones.
    Optional stop at the film studios of Ouarzazate and then we continue towards the Dantes Valley - the "Land of Roses".

    From the canyons to the desert!

    After breakfast, we cross the road of 1001 Kasbahs and arrive at the Tondra Gorge, an impressive vertical formation of 300 meters.
    Hiking among the rocks and then towards Merzouga, at the gates of the desert.

    There our camels await us for a unique journey through the Sahara dunes, with a sunset that paints the sky orange and gold.

    In the evening, Moroccan dinner, music with Tam Tam drums and endless stars.

    MARRAKECH

    All Day Long

    Adventure, civilization, culture, tranquility - Marrakech is not just a city. It is a feeling.

    After breakfast, our today's pace will be more relaxed. For those looking for more adrenaline, we can suggest activities around Marrakech. For those who wish to live a more pleasant and slower experience, we can visit a traditional hammam and spa ritual. Steam bath, scrub and a touch of magic from argan oil.
    You will leave refreshed, literally!

    In the evening 🌃 if you wish we can all enjoy a traditional "atay" (*mint tea) on a terrace with a panoramic view — in one of the city's cafes for our last gathering and to share stories from our trip.
