Accessible Marrakech & the Atlas
A seven-day itinerary built around access, pace and rest, planned with you before you travel.
The shape of the journey.
Seven days in and around Marrakech at a gentle pace, with the route, riad and every day's plan worked out with you before you travel. Access, pace and rest are treated as the starting point of the itinerary rather than a special request bolted on afterwards.
The route, in order.
Private airport transfer to your medina riad and a relaxed welcome dinner in the courtyard.
Dinner is included. The evening is intentionally unhurried after travel.
A medina day through artisan quarters and the spice souk at a pace agreed in advance.
Optional gentle hammam in the afternoon. Breakfast and lunch are included.
Morning in the gardens at the length you want, then golden hour in the Palmeraie watching camels among the palms.
Riding is optional. Breakfast and dinner are included.
Early transfer to the balloon launch field, flight over the Atlas foothills, breakfast after landing.
Whether the flight is right for you is discussed on the planning call before you book, not on the morning itself.
Private vehicle into the High Atlas foothills with valley viewpoints and stops agreed when the itinerary is planned.
Breakfast, mountain lunch and dinner are included.
An open day shaped around what the group wants by this point in the week.
Farewell dinner with the Koutoubia lit against the night sky. Breakfast and dinner are included.
Gentle morning with no early start, then private airport transfer when it is time to leave.
Breakfast is included before departure.

Asked before every long journey.
Anything else, ask us directly. The person who answers is the person who will run your trip.
ASK US ANYTHINGWill the riad work for my mobility needs?
We do not publish a blanket claim about the property because every traveller's needs are different and a general answer helps nobody.
On the planning call we go through the riad with photographs and describe the rooms, and you decide from that before anything is booked. If it will not work for you, we say so and change the plan.
Can I go up in the hot air balloon?
The sunrise flight is part of the itinerary, and whether it is right for you is something we go through with you on the planning call before you book.
If it is not suitable, we would far rather tell you then than on the launch field. Alternatives can be discussed honestly once we understand your needs.
What happens on the planning call?
It is a conversation, not a form. We ask what distances feel comfortable, what pace suits the group, and where the days should build in rest.
The riad is not booked and the days are not fixed until we have had that conversation. For this journey we would rather have it before you book than after.
Is Morocco comfortable for senior travellers?
Marrakech is one of the most visited cities in Africa, and this week is built at a gentle pace with rest inside the plan.
Transport is private throughout, so there is no shared coach timetable to keep up with. Our team is in Marrakech and a phone call away for the whole week.
How much walking is involved?
Medina days involve walking on cobbled lanes, but routes and pace are agreed with you in advance rather than improvised on the day.
Rest stops are part of the plan. If you use mobility equipment, tell us on the planning call so we can advise honestly on specific sections.
Can I skip the camel ride?
Yes. Day three includes time in the Palmeraie where you can watch camels among the palms without riding if that suits you better.
Nothing on the itinerary is forced. The planning call is where we align activities with what you are comfortable doing.
Which meals are included?
Daily breakfast is included, along with four dinners and two lunches as listed in the itinerary overview.
Other meals and snacks are not included, giving flexibility on open sections of certain days.
What is the group size?
Groups run up to ten guests with private transport throughout the week.
Smaller private departures may be possible depending on dates. Share your party size when you enquire.
Is travel insurance required?
Travel insurance is not included and is required for international travel to Morocco.
Your policy should cover medical costs, cancellation and travel disruption for a seven-day itinerary including city walking, a balloon flight and mountain travel.
How do I book?
Start with a message or booking request including your preferred dates and any access or pace needs. We arrange a planning call before confirming the riad and itinerary.
For this journey we would rather have that conversation before you book than discover a mismatch after you have paid.
