Happy Adventure!
Rock The Casbah | Journey Across Morocco
Sitting **at the crossroads of Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Morocco** is a country of contrasts, from its quickly shifting landscapes to its dizzying **blend of Arab, Berber and French influences**. Here, the scenery and atmosphere change constantly, from Atlantic coastline to arid desert and high mountain passes, and from crowded markets to tranquil villages. While modern Morocco is dynamic and forward-looking, traces of a more romanticised past linger, in the slow rhythm of desert caravans, the scent of spice markets and the enduring image of camel traders crossing rolling dunes.
Our journey starts in **Casablanca, Morocco’s modern commercial hub**, home to landmarks like the impressive Hassan II Mosque, perched on the edge of Atlantic ocean. We’ll get a feel for the city by taking to the streets, exploring the Old Medina, stopping by Rick's Café for a dose of cinematic history, and wandering along the Ain Diab Corniche. A **traditional hammam experience** will give us our first taste of Moroccan rituals and hospitality.
Next up is **Marrakech**, where life is turned up a notch and chaos is part of the experience! The medina is a maze of colour, sound and movement, with souks dedicated to everything from spices and dates to carpets. Those looking to shop will soon find that **haggling is an art form here**. We’ll escape the madness by taking a break in the peaceful gardens of the Jardin Majorelle, and watch over the famed Jemaa el-Fnaa square as it fills with families and friends out for an evening stroll.
Leaving the city behind, the wild **Atlas Mountains** will welcome us with fresh air and endless vistas. Full of unique wildlife and primarily inhabited by Berber people, this 2,500 km range separates the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts from the Sahara Desert. Following trails winding past olive groves, and likely encountering Barbary macaques along the way, we’ll find ourselves at the spectacular **Ouzoud Waterfalls, the highest in the country at 110 meters**.
Continuing deeper into southern Morocco, we will **cross the High Atlas via the Tizi n'Tichka Pass**. This is one of the most scenic drives in the country, with winding roads, mountain villages and wide open views at every turn. Now for something unexpected: a stop in **Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Morocco”**. Here we’ll find the famous Atlas Studios, where everything from *Gladiator* to *Game of Thrones* has been filmed, along with nearby oases that feel worlds away from modern life.
Our final stop is the Aladdin-style fever dream that is **Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar (fortified village)** that looks almost too perfectly preserved to be real. Set along the former caravan route linking Marrakesh with the Sahara, the town is a gorgeous example of traditional Moroccan earthen clay architecture. We’ll explore its narrow alleys and take in the sweeping views, before heading out into the surrounding landscapes for a more **hands-on desert experience.** ATV or camel? You choose!
**Let’s go!**
**Day 1 – Arrival in Casablanca**
We’ll land early in the afternoon, drop our bags at our riad (local boutique hotel) near the Corniche.
Our walking tour begins with the city’s highlight, Hassan II Mosque, one of the world’s largest. Built partially over the Atlantic, this impressive building features beautiful marble floors and cedar ceilings. Next, we’ll explore the Old Medina of Casablanca, with stops at Rick’s Café and Sacré-Cœur Cathedral. Then to relax before dinner, we’ll indulge in a traditional Moroccan hammam experience, coming out squeaky clean and with skin like a baby!
Tonight we’ll have our first taste of delicious Moroccan cuisine, followed by a nighttime stroll along the Ain Diab Corniche.
Overnight in Casablanca.
**Day 2 – Marrakech**
This morning we’ll hit the road to Marrakech, once a hippie mecca in the 1960s and 70s. We will hang out at Jardin Majorelle (yes - the one created by Yves Saint Laurent), the Ben Youssef Madrasa, Bahia Palace, and Le Jardin Secret.
After some lunch, we’ll head to the medina for some extreme shopping and haggling, exploring the spice souk, leather souk, metal lantern market, and carpet souk.
We’ll wind down the day with sunset views from a rooftop overlooking the city’s iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa square, followed by dinner.
Overnight in Marrakech.
***Optional:***
*Sunset hot air balloon experience over Marrakech (additional cost)*
**Day 3 – Atlas Mountains & Ouzoud Waterfalls**
This morning we set out into the Atlas Mountains, hiking a trail to the towering Ouzoud waterfalls and taking selfies with macaques along the way. After a boat ride under the waterfall, we’ll continue our hike downstream through olive groves trail and plantations. We’ll have a well-deserved lunch overlooking the cascades.
Tonight we live like kings, in a 5-star hotel castle with waterfall views!
**Day 4 – Atlas Crossing to Ouarzazate**
Today we make the drive through the High Atlas via the Tizi n'Tichka Pass, stopping along the way to admire the stunning views and visit local landmarks Kasbah Telouet, a beautiful but partially ruined 19th-century palace that has been abandoned since the 1950s. We’ll enjoy a traditional lunch in a mountain village.
Once in Ouarzazate, we’ll visit the famous Atlas Studios – where movies and series such as *Gladiator, The Mummy, Game of Thrones,* and *Jinn* were filmed – and the nearby Fint Oasis.
Overnight in Ouarzazate.
**Day 5 – Aït Benhaddou & Desert Adventure**
This morning, we don’t need coffee to wake up! It’s time to ramp up the excitement with an ATV tour across the desert plateau. There’s also an option to make like a true desert explorer with a camel ride, followed by tea with a Berber family.
Next we make the short drive to magical Aït Benhaddou, wandering its alleys, climbing to the hilltop granary, learning about the old caravan route, and exploring its notable film locations. We’ll linger here for sunset, taking advantage of the golden light in one of Morocco’s best photography locations.
Overnight in Aït Benhaddou’s Kasbah, feeling like we’ve travelled back in time!
**Day 6 – Return to Casablanca & Departure**
Today we hit the road early to make our way back to Casablanca for our afternoon flight home.
**Level of difficulty:** Easy and relaxing
**Activities:** trekking, sightseeing, cultural immersion, ATV riding.
**Accommodation & meals:** Atmospheric local boutique riads + 5 star hotels, double sharing. Meals excluded.
**Cost: 5,490 AED** excl. flights on Emirates. **Cost valid until May 20th.**

To be or Nosy Be, that is the question! | Nosy Be Archipelago, Madagascar
**Welcome to Paradise!**
**Nosy Be, meaning "big island" in the Malagasy language**, is a beachy paradise located 8 km off the northwestern coast of Madagascar. **It's in fact a volcanic archipelago with a** **warm tropical climate, pristine white-sand beaches, eleven crater lakes,** and habitats which are home to numerous endemic plant and animal species.
At 320 square kilometers, Nosy Be is the **largest island of an archipelago**, and its several smaller neighbors nearby make it the ideal place for island hopping and sampling an array of picture-postcard beaches. One of the main attractions of the archipelago is its marine life, and waters surrounding many of the islets are **excellent spots for scuba diving and snorkelling**.
The French colonized Nosy Be from 1840, founding an outpost named **Hell-Ville** which became an important trade harbor in the Mozambique Channel. Now the capital, the city offers French colonial buildings and a glimpse of day-to-day local life at its lively markets and craft centers.
In the southeast of Nosy Be is its most famous attraction: **Lokobe National Park,** a 740-hectare sanctuary known for its rare panther chameleon population, black lemurs, geckos, frogs and much more. One of Madagascar's five Strict Nature Reserves, Lokobe encompasses **an old-growth forest with ancient endemic tree species** – the last remaining primary rainforest on the island. A wildlife-spotting trek through this lush coastal haven brimming with ylang-ylang, orchids, palm trees and ferns is an experience to remember.
**Ready to explore the islands of your dreams? Let’s go!**
**DAY 1 // ARRIVAL IN NOSY BE**
Meet at DXB at 2am for a flight via Addis. Arrival, immigration procedure and one-hour drive to our beach-side hotel, where we’ll be based for the duration of the trip. We’ll settle in, indulge in the beautiful surroundings and head for a sunset to Sakatia.
**Sunset at Sakatia**
A short boat ride off the west coast of Nosy Be is Nosy Sakatia, a road-free island with picture-perfect beaches, rare birds and endemic flora. What it’s most known for, however, is its coral reef teeming with ocean life. With its marine ecosystem located inside a protected area, the island’s waters offer an unforgettable snorkelling or diving experience.
**DAY 2 // HELL-VILLE & MONT PASSOT**
We’ll enjoy a relaxing morning, with a trip to the local crafts market for those who are interested in purchasing a souvenir. After lunch at the seaside, we’ll drive about an hour to reach the highest viewpoint in Nosy Be – the dormant volcano Mount Passot. From more than 300m up, we’ll have a magnificent panoramic view of Nosy Be’s volcanic lakes, the surrounding islands, and the sparkling, multi-hued coastal waters.
We’ll settle in and enjoy a beautiful sunset before heading back to the hotel.
**DAY 3 // LOKOBE NATIONAL PARK**
Early departure this morning as we embark on our first adventure, in Lokobe National Park. We’ll hit the road towards the southeast of the island, passing by the capital of Hell-Ville. After about an hour we’ll reach the village of Ambatozavavy, where we’ll pile into local fishing boats and make our way through dense mangrove forests to reach the park.
Our 2-3 hour, ranger-led hike will take us through dense forest and lush greenery, where we’ll keep our eyes peeled to spot endemic wildlife and plants, including lemurs and rare chameleons.
When we’ve had our fill of exploring, we’ll head back to our lodgings, stopping for lunch along the way. Afternoon at leisure for swimming and relaxing on the beach.
**DAY 4 // NOSY ANTSOHA & NOSY IRANJA**
Today we have another magical island excursion, taking in two of Nosy Be’s neighbors. First we’ll make a stop at tiny Nosy Antsoha, where a nature walk will bring us face-to-face with the three different species of lemurs which call the island home.
We’ll continue on to Nosy Iranja, connected to Nosy Be by a sandbank that is covered during high tide and revealed during low tide. Its shores and shallow waters provide a habitat for sea turtles, hence its nickname of “Turtle Island”. In this beautiful, white sand paradise, the inviting waters appear in every shade of blue. We’ll tuck into a picnic lunch on a dreamy beach and enjoy our little piece of heaven. Return to our lodgings in the afternoon and evening at leisure.
**DAY 5 // DEPARTURE**
Morning time at leisure until we say goodbye to paradise and transfer back to the airport for our flight home.
**Grade:** easy and relaxing tropical holidays.
**Activities:** island hopping, trekking, sightseeing, beach strolling, boating. Optional diving.
**Accommodation:** Beach side hotel and spa, shared rooms. Single room at extra cost, subject of availability at the time of booking.

Dragonsky | Three Gorges Dragon Spine + Chongqing, China
There are cities that grow slowly, block by block, and then there is Chongqing, a place that seems to have been **designed by a dragon with a passion for bridges, neon lights, and vertical chaos**. Built where the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers meet, Chongqing rises in layers of towers, staircases, hidden lanes, and roads that appear to ignore conventional geometry. Here, trains pass through apartment buildings, streets sit above other streets, and maps become more of a suggestion than a rule. Yet beneath the modern frenzy lies an old mountain city of teahouses, river traders, and fiercely proud cuisine. **It is less a destination and more an event.**
From this urban theatre, the road leads south to Wulong Karst National Geology Park, where nature appears to have worked on a grand scale with no interest in moderation. **Limestone bridges as tall as skyscrapers arc across deep valleys, caves open like cathedral doors,** and cliffs plunge into green shadows far below. Waterfalls slip from the rock face, mist curls through the ravines, and every turn looks suspiciously like a film set, because some of it actually was. This is the kind of landscape that leaves hikers speechless and photographers convinced they need just one more shot. **If Chongqing is human imagination unleashed, Wulong is the earth’s imagination revealed.**
Further east, the Yangtze narrows and the land tightens into the legendary Three Gorges. Near Fengjie stands **Baidi City, perched above the river will make you think a visionary had perfect location in mind.** Temples, pavilions, and ancient stone paths overlook waters that have carried merchants, poets, generals, and no doubt a few people who took the wrong boat. This is a landscape where history does not sit in museums, it hangs in the mist and echoes in the cliffs.
Then comes Wushan, gateway to one of the most dramatic corners of the gorges. Mountains rise sharply from the riverbanks, clouds gather theatrically, and ridgelines stretch into the distance like the spine of some sleeping giant. Here the famous **Dragon Spine hike** traces narrow heights above the Yangtze, rewarding brave legs with grand views and mildly offended calves. It is the sort of trail that reminds you how small you are. One moment you are catching your breath, the next you are wondering why your camera cannot capture scale, wind, or goosebumps.
And just when you think the journey has reached peak spectacle, Chongqing welcomes you back with hot springs, massage tables, glowing skylines, and enough evening lights to convince the stars to retire early. This region’s genius lies in its contrasts: city and wilderness, ancient legend and futuristic energy, strenuous adventure and glorious laziness. It is a journey for curious travellers, first-timers, seasoned explorers, and anyone who believes travel should inspire a little awe. **Come with comfortable shoes, an open mind, and a respect for chilli peppers!**
**Let’s go!**
**Day 1 :: Arrival in Chongqing**
Welcome to Chongqing, the rare city where gravity appears optional and urban planning was clearly feeling adventurous. Begin at Liziba Monorail Station, where a train passes directly through a residential building with complete confidence. Continue to Jiefangbei CBD, the energetic commercial heart of the city, before sampling the fragrant chaos of Bayi Road Food Street. Later, stroll along Daijiaxiang Walkway for skyline views that seem designed for cinema. End the evening at Hongya Cave, glowing above the river like an ancient palace that discovered electricity.
**Day 2 :: Chongqing – Wulong**
Travel into the countryside where the city’s neon drama gives way to geological theatre. At Wulong Karst National Geology Park, vast limestone landscapes rise with the confidence of monuments built by time itself. Explore the celebrated Three Natural Bridges, colossal arches spanning deep valleys with almost unnecessary grandeur. Continue into Longshuixia Fissure Gorge, where waterfalls, cliffs, and narrow passages create a scene somewhere between fantasy novel and tectonic masterpiece. By evening, Wulong feels wonderfully remote and refreshingly quiet.
**Day 3 :: Wulong – Fengjie – Wushan**
Journey eastward toward the famed Three Gorges, where the Yangtze begins to gather dramatic intentions. Stop at Baidi City, an ancient hilltop site layered with poetry, legend, and enviable river views. This was a place where emperors, scholars, and strategists once looked over the same waters now flowing quietly below. Continue through landscapes of steep cliffs and winding valleys toward Wushan. Arriving here feels like entering the prologue to an epic mountain story.
**Day 4 :: Three Gorges Dragon Spine Hike**
Today belongs to altitude, perspective, and pleasantly challenged leg muscles. The Dragon Spine trail above Wushan follows dramatic ridgelines overlooking the Yangtze and the surrounding mountains. Each turn reveals deeper gorges, sharper peaks, and views that make ordinary postcards seem underqualified. The path is adventurous without losing its dignity, thrilling without becoming theatrical. Return to Chongquing with tired feet, clear lungs, and a suspicious number of photographs. But its not yet time for bed, as evening falls, the city skyline resumes its role as one of Asia’s great visual spectacles. Its time for a Chongquing synchronized drone light show that turns the sky itself into entertainment.
**Day 5 :: Wushan – Chongqing**
Civilization greets you with comfort and excellent timing. Reward recent heroics at Golden Impression SPA, a refined sanctuary of massage, wellness, and strategic recovery before we reach the skies again, this time for return flight home.
**Level:** Moderate – includes 6 hrs hike, 650m elevation gain.
**Activities:** trekking, sightseeing, cultural immersion.
