Day 1: Agadir - Ouarzazate/Ait Ben Haddou
Morning pick up in Agadir and travel west towards the inner country. We will be passing several of the Argan trees that are so well known around the world. They are grown only in Morocco and the oil is used in cooking but mainly in cosmetic products.
These trees are also called the Goat trees as you might see goats sitting atop the trees eating the leaves. Our first stop today will be the city of Taroudant, a beautiful old town where you are welcome to walk around the old medina. Then we pass the saffron-producing capital of Taliouline and stop in Taznakth the Berber center for handmade carpets. From there we reach the city of Ouarzazate where we spend the night. (B, D)

We recommend walking through the streets for awe-inspiring views and letting history breathe in. Then it will be time to cross the High Atlas Mountains over the dramatic pass of Tizi Tichka to Marrakech. (B)
