It is the perfect getaway for honeymooners, individuals and small groups seeking uncompromising privacy and solitude Our Private luxury Camp offers Ten spacious luxury tents with a sense of comfort and prestige.

The Private Camp is designed for those who enjoy the peace that utter silence can afford. Get away for a day or two and revel in the luxury atmosphere, reflecting or taking walks in one of the most enchanting Sahara Desert of the world. Merzuga luxury desert camps, located an hour and half drive from Erfoud.

Enjoy your special night under the stars at this beautiful Oasis in a premium tented camp. Experience a camel ride at sunset and sunrise from the top of the dunes. Your desert experience includes an authentic Moroccan dinner under the stars and breakfast in the morning

Located strategically in the middle of the big dunes of the Erg Chebi Desert, Merzouga luxury desert camps .also offers a spectacular nomadic experience. It is especially unique because of the ‘KHaimas’, which are traditional tents made of camel skin typically used by nomadic people

Your evening gastronomic experience combines the best of Moroccan cuisine with desert tradition. A traditional dinner, drinks are not included.

GETTING THERE
Half the fun is getting there! It’s a spectacular trip — the drive is a reason in itself for visiting the desert. It’s an eclectic mix of mountain passes, lush valleys, Berber villages clinging to the mountain side, dilapidated kasbahs, palm groves and awe inspiring rock formations.

It is simply an exciting voyage, as one travels through a myriad of landscapes from the frenetic activity of Marrakech to the calm and open vistas of the desert.

The trip to the desert is quite long, about 9 hours, but it should not be rushed. There’s a timelessness about the desert, and the trip should not be governed by the need to arrive anywhere at a specific time. For sure, one wants to arrive at the camp near sunset, but you don’t want to hurry either.

Ideally, the preferred itinerary, provided you have time, is to spend one night at a some Kasbah en Road to the desert, some days in the desert and then return to Marrakech or Fez (Fes ). if you don’t have so much time available, you can either drive direct to the desert, or reduce the length of stay at the camp to two nights.

So, if you are going directly to the camp from Marrakech or Fes we suggest you depart as early as possible, about 06:00. If staying en route a departure sometime after breakfast is fine.

Most guests take a 4×4 with driver, not only because it is more relaxing and informative, but also because the camp is difficult to find and the drive in the desert quite technical. However, it is also possible to self-drive as far as ERFOUD and rent from there a 4×4 with driver.

For those seeking adventure you can rent a 4×4 in Marrakech and drive to the camp although you will require a guide from Erfoud or Merzouga. There is no specific itinerary, because everyone has different interests and wants to do things at a different pace.

DESERT EXCURSION
After breakfast, we will leave in 4×4 for a full morning discovery of desert, tea with the Nomads families , visit of the gnaouas village and lunch is depend of the season .from April to Septembre in a Riad with swimming pool and from Octobre to March in our camps to enjoy delicius gastronmy

At your arrival, the manager as guide gives an informative tour in good English of his huge collection , highlighting the wide variety of fossils and the many forms they have manufactured them from artistic display objects to major pieces of furniture.

In the town’s museum, in the exhibition space, a fine cloud of dust hangs above craftsmen who are working to cut, carve and polish the fossils pulled from the ground. After transporting blocks of stone from a quarry on the outskirts of town, workers cut them into pieces, then the artisans sculpt them into diverse objects such as fountains, bathtubs and even tables.

In a region traditionally renowned for its dates – the fossil trade is a rare year-round source of sustainable income for the people of Erfoud.

The Majorelle Garden was created by the French painter Jacques Majorelle in 1922 where he painted the garden walls, fountains, features and villa in a very intense shade of blue, for which he trademarked the name “Majorelle Blue”.

Yves Saint Laurent bought the garden in 1980 and extensively renovated it before opening it to the public. The Musée Yves Saint Laurent is devoted to the creations and philosophy of the style genius.

It was in Marrakech that he sketched some of his finest designs and hosted some of his wildest parties. The Museum houses thousands of his articles of clothing, designs and video clips as well as temporary exhibitions.

VILLA OASIS
When Yves Saint Laurent, the legendary rebel fashion designer, visited Marrakech for the first time in 1966, it transformed him forever. The strong sun, lush colors, and intricate patterns you see everywhere left an indelible mark in his mind. “Marrakech taught me color,” he said. “Before Marrakech, everything was black.”

Golf provides moderately intense physical activity, such as walking, carrying your bag, and swinging. This increases your heart rate and blood flow, which results in a healthy heart, enhanced brain stimulation, and improved balance.

This urban enclave is home to design studios and innovative artisans that make and sell carpets, furniture, ceramics and textiles. Tangier-based fashion designer Salima Abdel Wahab, Lighting Designer Henry Cath, and French designer Laurence Landon are a few of the notable designers to seek out.

Almaha Marrakech is a retreat of indulgent artists: a riad hotel that brings together generations of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship and contemporary art in rhythm – the beauty of order.

The soft shine of polished tadelakt on tactile Bedouin textiles, the candlelight on burnished metal, a landscape rendered by a multitude of silk pixels…Inspired by Baudelaire’s poem Invitation au voyage, Charles Kaisin created interiors designed to move the soul and captivate the senses.

The quintessential Marrakech experience, just 4 km (15 minutes drive) from Menara airport: walk through the pink walls of the medina, get lost in a labyrinth of alleys and you have arrived at a bygone moment. A haven of order and beauty awaits you behind an unpretentious door: cross the threshold and discover the Almaha boutique hotel.

Located in the heart of the Kasbah – the oldest part of Marrakech, where the royal stable once stood – Almaha is perfectly placed to explore the mysteries of the medina, its exotic souks and bustling squares, and, beyond the red city, visit the desert and the Atlas mountains.

The best tourist sites of Marrakech are a short walk away: observe the centuries-old stucco and zellige in the superb Saadian tombs; marvel at the mighty minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque; wander through Jemaa el-Fna Square with its smoky food stalls, conjurers, musicians and snake charmers; explore the Jewish quarter Mellah; see the sumptuous Bahia Palace. Your peaceful retreat in a riad is never far away.

JUNIOR SUITE

SUITE 
Almaha’s most spacious accommodations, these generous first-floor suites (63-67m²), designed by Charles Kaisin, have direct access to their private terraces and large separate living rooms with circular fireplaces.

Bedrooms are decorated with beautiful carved stucco, feature oversized double beds with inlaid wood headboards, and en-suite bathrooms with marble soaking tubs, rainfall showers, and twin sinks.

DINING

LA BIBLIOTHÈQUE

The invitation to travel: A menu imagined by chef Kenza highlighting the traditional dishes of Moroccan cuisine.

LES TERRASSES D’ALMAHA

Kasbah du Toubkal is the number one property of choice for comfortable hotel accommodation in the village of Imlil and the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The Kasbah (1820 metres) is Just 60 kilometres from Marrakech and set on a hilltop 100 metres above our reception in Imlil. It is a 15-minute walk – mules carry your luggage.

The Kasbah is also in the Toubkal National Park and set dramatically below the towering flanks of Jbel Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa standing at 4167 metres. Imlil, and its surrounding valleys, is a world apart from the bustle of the city and a place of peace and seclusion. The award-winning unique hotel offers fourteen comfortable en-suite rooms, three of which can be used as a private self-contained house.

In addition, there are three family rooms. The delightful garden and large terraces offer unparalleled views of the surrounding mountains. Our friendly and knowledgeable local Berber team will make every effort to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as it can be.

We offer trekking packages including stays at our Trekking Lodge and the ascent of Mount Toubkal which can include a riad or hotel stay in Marrakech and Essaouira and even a stay in the desert of Marrakech (Agafay).

The journey from Marrakech to the village of Imlil, where the Kasbah is situated, is a drive of approximately 75 minutes. The Kasbah is then an uphill 15-minute walk or mule ride. Guests luggage is brought up to the Kasbah by mule. The Kasbah has a remote reception in the centre of Imlil village that is open from 09.00hrs to 17.00hrs. Guests should go the village reception where they will then be looked after.

GARDEN HOUSE – SUITES
On the south side of the Kasbah and slightly lower down is the Garden House. This is a 3-bedroomed house with its own entrance and a stunning lounge with an open fire and a 12 metre plate glass wall looking up towards the mountains and the peak of Jbel Toubkal.

It is especially suitable for those guests who wish to have more privacy and their own private lounge, dining room and kitchen. There is no need, although it would be a shame, to even visit the Kasbah.

BERBER SALONS
Berber Salons are not traditional hotel rooms but rooms based on local custom. Each salon is named after the village it faces. The downstairs area is set out like a traditional room and would serve as a seating area during the day and couches would be slept on at night.

We have added a sleeping gallery as used in mountain refuges to add flexibility. In the galleries we have placed mattresses where beds will be made up for you and towel provided. If your group number exceeds the places on the sleeping galleries, sleeping sheets and bags will be provided to use on the couches.

An area of the roof terrace has been reserved for each room where carpets will be set out so you can sleep under the stars. We will provide sleeping sheet, sleeping bag and mat to make your evening comfortable.

TOUBKAL ASCENT
The ascent of Jbel Toubkal (4167m), North Africa’s highest mountain, is achievable during the summer months without specialist climbing skills. Most people who are reasonably fit and determined can achieve this goal and the views are magnificent – on a clear day you can see the Sahara.

During the winter months the summit is only accessible to those climbers with crampon and ice-axe experience. Some equipment is available from local guides but you are strongly advised to bring your own. Climbing and walking in the High Atlas requires an open mind. It is important to keep a sense of perspective and take a gentle pace. If the weather is hot it is also vital to drink plenty.

It is not uncommon to find that your appetite fades at the Neltner Hut; this is quite common at this sort of altitude. If you have not walked at heights of 4000m before do not be surprised at the slow pace, which is certainly the best way to get to the top no matter how fit you are.

KASBAH, MARRAKECH & COAST
We have put together three great packages giving you the chance to enjoy the peace and quiet of the High Atlas Mountains, with either the lively and bustling city of Marrakech or the laid-back coastal town of Essaouira.

All options include staying at Kasbah du Toubkal and one of the seven-day package includes a stay in our fabulous Riad Les Yeux Bleus. The other 7-day package includes the peaceful coastal town of Essaouira with its long sandy beach and historic old town.

YOGA RETREATS
The Kasbah has numerous terraces for yoga as well as a spacious conference room if an indoor environment is required. Yoga mats, blocks, blanket and belts are available. There are two hammam for the use of guests as well as a massage table and a private massage area for those bringing their own masseuse.

With 14 en suite twin or double bedrooms and three Berber salons/family rooms, the Kasbah can support groups of up to 28 people in double occupancy, and more if the Berber salons are used. The Kasbah offers healthy and fresh local cuisine, with vegetarian options, and can accommodate special diets if requested. During your stay, all meals are provided.

Our services are tailored to suit you and your students and all quotes are created around your specific requests. We will, of course, help you build a programme and advise you of any extra activities you may wish to include.

THE HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS
The High Atlas mountains, so important to Marrakech, can often be seen from the city and the views are magnificent. However, a whole new experience awaits those who venture into them. Treat yourself to a trip to the Atlas and visit the home of the Berbers, the original inhabitants of North Africa.

The tranquillity of Berber village life provides the perfect contrast to the hubbub of the city. Kasbah du Toubkal is situated in the Toubkal National Park and is beyond the main road system.

From the village of Imlil, footpaths and mule tracks mount through lush, irrigated terraces, apple orchards and walnut groves to other villages where the way of life has changed little for centuries and traditional values and hospitality are unaffected by the outside world.

The Kasbah is perched on a great rock outcrop above the main village with panoramic views of the mountains, valleys and waterfalls. It is reached by a short walk (15 min) or mule ride from the village of Imlil.

THE KASBAH & THE COMMUNITY
Mike McHugo first visited the Imlil Valley in 1978 to do reconnaissance for adventure trips for his company (Hobo Travel that would become Discover Limited in 1986). During this trip the first person he met was Omar Ait Barmed, a young mountain guide who would become his lifelong friend and business partner.

Omar inherited the nickname of Maurice following formal training in France as a Ski Instructor. He is now known affectionately through the area as Hajj Maurice having been on the Pilgrimage to Mecca.

This friendship, of now over 25 years, is the basis of Discover’s business in Morocco and the pre-requisite to the purchase and development of Kasbah du Toubkal. In 1989 when revisiting Imlil with their mother the McHugo Brothers decided to find who owned the ruin.

After lengthy search and convoluted negotiations Discover purchased the ruin believing they could be a safe pair of hands to become part of tourism development but putting the benefits to the local community at the core. The ruling value being that we were guest of the local community and have much to learn from them.

In 1991 a postcard of the derelict kasbah was produced with the following caption “Discover Limited has plans to develop a small hotel designed and built on sustainable principals, which will compliment the site and be of benefit to visitors and the local inhabitants.”

In 1995, Kasbah du Toubkal was formally opened and a brass plaque on the door proclaimed “Dreams are only the plans of the reasonable – dreamt by Discover realised by Omar and the Worker of Imlil.” Benefits to visitors is now widely recognised by the travel press and books who give it glowing coverage.

The Kasbah’s benefits to the local community are wide ranging – the building is carried out by local inhabitants, staff are recruited locally, mule transport that is a significant service is distributed around the more than 100 local muleteers, meat and vegetables are bought locally as are most services. Extensive training has taken place to create the world class team.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
Sustainable tourism along with Eco (Ego?) tourism and responsible tourism are phrases that have been both over used and abused in recent years. All of these terms have now moved into mainstream vocabulary but are widely used by the travel industry as a greenwash where the walk is talked but not walked.

Discover Ltd. defines sustainable/responsible tourism as one where what they do today always has an eye on the future, as the African aphorism states “we do not own the world we only borrow it from our children’s grand children.”

With this in mind Discover has effectively given a veto to its local management committee on all its activities and sourcing options at the same time working with them to enhance their understanding of the international tourism market and services.

In addition to working with the local community in Imlil the company’s management has developed deep relationship with the Moroccan authorities both in the Marrakech Region and in Rabat.

These relationships have resulted in Discover presenting its project and management approach both to Moroccan meetings at the Tourism Assise but also to international conferences in Kenya, Thailand and Zambia.

The need to create a shared view on the future of rural tourism at a time when the Moroccan national tourism strategy is to aggressively embrace an increase in tourist numbers is one of the most critical challenges at this time.

The Villa Mandarine is the story of a french family that has settled in Morocco for generations. When Claudy Imbert inherited part of the orange grove that her father created, she had a house built that was large enough to welcome her family, surrounded it by a garden with a pool and then set out to maintain and care for the 700 citrus trees.

Then came the time, in the 90s, when all the chicks had left the coop, the house became too big, the groove too difficult to manage. That is when the Lady of the House, who was sharing her time between Rabat for business and Paris, where she taught Art History, decided to transform her home into a hotel.

This totally new enterprise was in fact guided by a childhood dream, inspired by the warm memories of growing up in the hotel atmosphere of her father’s famous establishment in Ifrane.

It took two years of hard work for the dream to become reality : the living room kept his original purpose, but the dining room became the billard room, the master bedroom overlooking the garden, became one of the most appreciated conference room, the kitchen and ante rooms became the bar.

The huge garden had ample space for the construction of the restaurant, kitchen and of all the guest rooms arranged around the patio of flowers. It wasn’t long before Claudy’s daughters had convinced their husbands to leave Europe and return to become partners in the adventure, opening the Villa Mandarine’s doors to its first clients in 2001.

15 years down the line, in order to capitalize on the experience gained with running the hotel, the family decided to open another location for its faithful customers in brand new settings.
Located in the heart of the Rabat medina , the ryad style property “Dar Shâân – by Villa Mandarine” opened its doors in the fall of 2017.

IMAGINARY MUSEUM
Her background in Art History inspired our owner to cover the walls of each room with famous paintings ranging from primitive to contemporary resulting in about 400 replicas from Grand Masters. As a balancing act , the walls from the reception area are dedicated to original pieces from current Moroccan painters.

THE RESTAURANT
The chef offers a varied and inventive menu that changes according to the market and seasons. You will taste his gastronomic cuisine on the terrace invaded by the flowers and the smell of the fruit trees, or in the soothing colors rooms whose windows seem to want the garden get in. The restaurant is opened every day, from 12:15 to 22:30.

THE GARDEN 
The Villa Mandarine is nestled in the heart of an orange grove but the flowers are truly revered. One in your room , you are already immersed in their perfume as all the ground floor quarters have a private garden.

The love and celebration of flowers is expressed all around the property and they catch the wandering gaze through a cleverly maintained balance of chaos and order. Flowers cover over all surfaces surrounding the buildings and often overflow at the feet of orange trees.

At the Villa Mandarine, the fragrance is an intrinsic part of the experience and the decor. Nature lovers can quench their thirst and interest as an herbarium with photos and variety is available to them; it has more than 100 different species that bloom over the course of the year.

THE SWIMMING POOL

At its feet extends the medina and its pretty houses, recently awarded with World Heritage label by UNESCO. Let’s mention also the Hassan Tower, the Chellah, the Mohamed V tomb, the two new museums: archeology and contemporary art.

Salé is not far behind with its enchanting Merinide Medersa, its Mosque, its souks, its old cemetery, and its marine gate, last vestige of the landmark of the famous corsairs of Salé. Two days are recommended for discovery with a special mention to watching a beautiful sunset over Salé by the Moorish café in the oudayas.
