Marrakech – Discover Morocco from the Sky – Hot Air Balloon & Cooking

Flying over Africa by hot air balloon is as dreamy as it sounds. Today, you’ll be picked up early and transferred to the middle of the Jbilet Mountains, North-East of Marrakech (30 minutes drive). Enjoy a continental breakfast while watching the balloon getting inflated.


After a gentle take-off, we will float where the wind takes us for approximately one hour over amazing views of berberi villages, desert oasis, deep valleys, and in front of the High Atlas Mountains. The different colors of the diversified landscape will leave you breathless.


Once you land, you will get your flight certificate and enjoy the freshly made berber breakfast in the tent.


Upon completion of your jaw dropping sky views, you’ll be ready for you next taste of Morocco. We aim to please. So, how’s a Cooking Class with diverse organic Moroccan cuisine sound? The cooking class starts at 10am and finishes around 12pm with a convivial meal sharing the lunch you have prepared.

After your activities in Agafay, we’ll drive to your luxury camp and you’ll enjoy your night under the stars. Our photographer will meet you at the camp for a photo shooting session around your camp, so dress the part in your colorful Moroccan attire (jellabas, kaftan or abaya dress).

Agafay desert – Transfer to Essaouira

Pick up at 9am from the Agafay desert, then we’ll transfer to Essaouira beach.


Essaouira is a charming small town on the coast, well-known for its charming appeal and gorgeous landscapes. The people in town create beautiful crafts, wood furniture, and amazing unique pieces sold among the gorgeous windy streets. Let our guides help you bargain for a great deal!


People travel from all over the world to Essaouira to purchase native Moroccan argan oil at the local women’s cooperative. It’s exciting to see the entire process to create this oil, done by hand into one of the most versatile oils imaginable, delicious in salads and as an anti-aging and moisturizing treatment for the skin.


Continuing the journey, we’ll enjoy a fresh lunch from the sea, prepared on the spot. Good for both photo and surfing opportunities, the beach here is an ideal spot for relaxing and sunbathing. It’s truly the best place to chill after a trip to the desert. We’ll return to Marrakech around 6 pm.


Oh, did we forget… we’ll stop to see the goats on the argan tree and have a photo op.
