Marrakech: 

You are accommodated right in the middle of the Medina, Marrakech’s old part of the city, in a carefully chosen, familar Riad. Cool and comfortable, beautiful and absolutely quiet though right in the center, the chosen Partner Riad provides you with the fitting environment to dust off, relax, enjoy the sun and a glas of Moroccan tea any time of the day. And of course serves us comfortably for our daily yoga practice.

Agdz, Drâa Valley:

You will be accommodated in the beautiful Bab el Oued Ecolodge deep inside  the heart of the Draa Valley. Right in the middle of a huge palm grove in a 5000 sqm wide oasis, where many species of flowers and fruits perfume the air day & night, Bab el Oued guarantees an enchanting surrounding during your stay.
Bab el Oued Morocco Ecolodge proposes you 6 independant unique bedrooms. Each bedroom offers full comfort and a mixture of traditional materials for your senses delight.

Merzouga:

You are accommodated in a traditional Kasbah (Hotel) on the only hill there overlooking the Sahara before we are heading inside the desert and once we returned from the desert. The Kasbah is family-run, welcoming and has exceptionally nice but practical rooms, some of them facing the great dunes.

Desert camp:

Traditional Berber tents equipped with comfortable beds with mattresses will serve as our housing right in the middle of the desert. The camp furthermore holds a kitchen, a restaurant and a toilet. And for sure enough space for serving us comfortably for our daily yoga practice.

Marrakech holds an international Airport Marrakech Menara. Transportation from and to the airport is arranged by NOSADE once you submitted your flight details.

Please note: Flights are not included in the quoted price.

Any transportation within the country is arranged and included in the stated price.

Accept what is. Escape daily routines, find inner peace, inner balance, and inner tranquility. Morocco will challenge you to do so – with all its sounds, smells & (for us Westerners) sometimes unusual manners. We encourage you to open up for all those impressions.

Two daily Yoga and meditation sessions in Morocco’s mystical surroundings will be accompanying and supporting this experience.
