Koutoubia Mosque and Gardens in Marrakech, Morocco

Yoga Retreat: Marrakech & Ouarzazate

Ouarzazate, often called the “Gateway to the Sahara,” is a stunning city in southern Morocco known for its breathtaking desert landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Famous for its ancient kasbahs and as a major filming location for Hollywood movies, Ouarzazate attracts travelers seeking adventure and history. Visitors can explore the impressive Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, or experience the vibrant local markets and traditional Berber lifestyle. With its unique blend of natural beauty and cultural treasures, Ouarzazate offers an unforgettable journey into Morocco’s heart.

Take time out in a boutique hotel set in the palms of the Ouarzazate Oasis to get away from it all, travelling from Marrakech through the High Atlas Mountains. With Yoga twice a day, Hammam & Massage, a camel trekking or horse riding experience, and time to relax by the pool, this is a perfect retreat getaway in Morocco.

  • star rating  Family fun in Morocco  - I could not be more delighted with the service that we received from this company from the day we booked it to the day we were dropped at the airport.... read more We were a party of 12. Nine of my grandchildren plus their partners (all in their 20’s) plus 3 other family members.
    We were met on time by our fantastic driver Ibrahim who stayed with us all week. Our vehicle was a brand new Mercedes mini-bus. We also had different guides to some of the more historic places. Our travels took us from Marrakech to The Atlas Mountains, Sahara desert, Casablanca, Fez and Essaouira. We have unforgettable memories of camel riding into the sunset and dancing to Berber musicians infront of a fire pit late into the night.
    The accomodation was outstanding in old, picturesque Riads everywhere (except luxury tents .with proper bathrooms . in the desert).
    I cannot recommend this company too highly. We received exactly what was promised and they were always flexible if we needed to make a change.
    Ofcourse, it’s helpful to have words of warning. There were some very long days of driving as we covered a lot of territory. This is not a choice for the less fit. Lots of steep stairs, not always with hand rails. . But I am 84 and I made it.
    Also, don’t travel with checked in luggage. You don’t need many clothes and it’s easier to carry small cases.
    This is our experience of just one of the many tours run by this excellent company. Good luck.

    star rating  Exploring Marrakech  - I had a great experience with this company. We used their services for airport pick-up and drop-offs as well as tours/excursions. Drivers Mohamed and Yasser made us very comfortable and... read more are safe drivers on the busy streets of Marrakech. Musafeh, our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge, knew his way around town and very patient as we explored the souks, museum and garden. He guided us safely through the souks. He was very interactive with us through conversations and helped us with the merchants. Top 10 service.
