Atlantic coast trek; walking or on camel back

Atlantic Coast TrekThe Atlantic coast trek, Morocco follows the beach and dunes in a northerly direction for 4 days. We journey along the shore from Iftas to Essaouira, sometimes heading inland to explore the sand dunes, buildings of historical interest, through the undergrowth of Thuya, Euphorbia and Argan trees. We will also visit pretty Moroccan fishing villages and follow the ancient caravan routes of the Portuguese. After our trek we spend 2 nights in Essaouira, a small town nestled inside fortress walls where you will have plenty of time to discover the charming side streets and sample the freshly caught fish, before travelling back to the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. It is also possible to do this itinerary as a 2 day camel trek please enquire for more information.
