Merzouga
 

This 17-Day Adventure has been carefully crafted to offer some of the best riding and most popular attractions in three different countries.  The tour includes the luxury accommodations, upscale dining, and exciting group activities that have become synonymous with an Ayres Adventure.  The tour price includes airport transfers, all breakfasts and dinners (including non-alcoholic beverages), ferry crossings and park entry fees, and numerous activities.  The itinerary takes place entirely on good paved roads and is ideal for a two-up getaway.

The Adventure begins in Seville, one of Spain's most alluring cities. Our tour leaders will meet your flight and accompany you to our hotel in Seville. Your luggage (as well as non-riding companions) will be transported in our spacious support vehicle.

After taking a ferry across the Strait of Gibraltar, you’ll spend your first Moroccan night in Tangier, where the North African portion of the Adventure continues.  Key attractions of Morocco include:

  • Luxury accommodations, including Kasbahs and 5-Star hotels.
  • A two-night stay in the imperial city (and USESCO World Heritage Site) of Fez.  Our tour includes a guided walking tour of the Medina of Fez el Bali, the old walled city (founded in 789) which is reputed to be the largest contiguous car-free urban area in the world.  Fez is reputed to be the most interesting and picturesque of the four Imperial cities in Morocco.
  • A two-night stay in Erfoud, a base from which we’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of activities in the Sahara Desert, including riding the dunes on quad bikes or camels, as well as a four-wheeled tour of the famed Paris-Dakar Rally tracks.
  • The option to a night in a desert bivouac (tented camp) under the stars.  This unique experience is offered as an alternative to spending a second night in our 5-Star Kasbah.
  • A two-night stay in Marrakesh, home of the largest souk (traditional market) in Morocco and the location of one of the busiest squares in Africa – Djemaa Square.  The square bustles with dancers, acrobats, musicians, snake charmers, and tradition food vendors.
  • An optional visit to the British Colony of Gibraltar, on the Strait of Gibraltar on the Spanish coast. 
  • Andalusia, Spain, including the final night in Seville.
