7-Day Kasbah & Culture Journey
Seven days riding the old Glaoui road from Marrakech to the pre-Sahara, sleeping in a palace riad, a restored kasbah and a palm-grove resort, and travelling with a cultural historian as well as a mechanic. The highlight is an after-hours private visit to the Aït Ben Haddou ksar once the coaches have gone, followed by dinner on the opposite bank. Riding is a genuine 50–70 km a day — this is a luxury tour for people who still want to earn it.
