Down to Earth: Marrakech & Atlas Mountains

This holiday gives you the best of both worlds - the bustling city of Marrakech and the magnificent landscape of the Atlas Mountains. And you explore it all on foot, getting close to nature, meeting the local people. You'll mostly stay in simple guesthouses, with very welcoming hosts, and you'll enjoy some fantastic cooking.

This is one of Tribes' Down to Earth holidays. This is a great range of more affordable, set itinerary holidays, as opposed to our tailor made trips.
The Down to Earth holidays also have their own website where you will find lots more details about each trip.

Pricing guidelines for Morocco

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £200 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). We offer flights with Royal Air Maroc which has daily flights to Marrakech as well as good connections to other cities.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:
	under £50
	£50 to £75
	£75 to £100
	£100 to £150
	Over £150

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
