Combine your city stay with a dash of adventure in Marrakech's backyard, the Palmeraie. With its shade-providing palm groves, shifting desert sands and the Atlas Mountains serving as a backdrop, this natural reserve is a must-see during your outdoor excursion. Saddle up on your very own mountain bike and venture out on sun-scorched trails, lined with exotic vegetation. Date palms, olive trees, cacti and lounging camels make up this oasis in the sands, immersing you in an arabesque Adventureland. Mingle with the locals who have lived here since the 11th century and get to know the ancient ways of desert survival, a cultural highlight of your tour. Finish off in a mirage of tranquility by stopping for a snack and a soothing drink, courtesy of a Moroccan afternoon tea party.
