This superb School Adventure starts with a day exploring the 1,000 year old city of Marrakech. The souks and mosques of this bustling city provide an incredible experience for all of the senses. We then travel beyond the Atlas Mountains amongst the palm-fringed oases of the Draa Valley. Here, we meet our Berber crew and their team of camels and set out on a 4-day trek on the edge of the great Sahara Desert. Travelling in the traditional way of the camel caravan, our route will take us across high sand dunes to isolated villages and rock ridge viewpoints. Sleeping out in the desert, meeting Saharan dwellers and hunting for fossils, this is an enchanting experience. We conclude our trip with an enchanting evening in Marrakech where the entertainment is still provided by jugglers, acrobats and story-tellers.
