Morocco; Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains
A unique and varied Moroccan journey to the royal city of Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains; a beautiful combination of culture, stunning nature, and a bit of adventure. Mira herself says this about this extraordinary Moroccan spice journey: " In Marrakech, it all happens. Magic comes to life, the aroma of spices and incense wafts from afar, and your senses are stimulated in every possible way. How wonderful it is to be able to indulge in all these flavors, scents, and colors ."
In 2025 only from Wednesday 12 November to Wednesday 19 November.
In the Netherlands, you can find Mira at " Bij Ons Delft ." There she offers creative workshops, themed lunches, and more. She also makes beautiful terracotta pots with fresh herbs (in season). Perfect for your patio or balcony.

Upon arrival in Marrakech, transfer to the medina (approx. 20 minutes). Welcome to our charming riad hotel, an oasis of tranquility right in the heart of the old city. A riad means “garden” and refers to traditional mansions built around an inner courtyard.
In the evening, we visit the famous Jemaa el-Fna square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you will encounter fortune tellers, snake charmers, Berber musicians, storytellers, and a wide variety of food stalls where we can sample local specialties.

Early risers are encouraged to explore the medina in the morning, when the streets slowly come to life. Of course, you may also choose to rest a little longer and wake up to the call to prayer from the nearby mosque.
Today we have ample time to discover Marrakech at our own pace. There is so much to see that we must choose which sights to visit. We will also stop at one of the traditional herbal shops, known as a herborist.

Along the way, we enjoy a fresh and tasty lunch high in the mountains.
