A 9-day Morocco photography tour will guide you to discover Kingdom’s striking landscapes together with its living culture. Noted photographer Tarik Belasri leads the tour which welcomes photographers at all experience levels to discover both popular sights and unique places in Morocco including Marrakech’s busy markets and peaceful Erg Chigaga dune camps. Join photographers at various locations throughout Morocco to master your skills while soaking in the vast range of natural beauty between coastal regions and historical kasbahs alongside formidable Atlas Mountains and immense Sahara Desert.
We will gather at a riad in Marrakech's medina for their group event. The museum tour through vibrant streets will lead to the Museum of Photography where you can find creative creations before starting your journey. From your riad rooftop you can create wide-angle images that show Marrakech beneath the Atlas Mountains. Jemaa el-Fna square should be your evening destination as the sun sets. Upon sunset participants will enjoy two activities in the riad; both dedicated to sharing about the future outing which concludes with dinner at the riad.
For day 2 of our Morocco Photography Tour, we'll travel away from Marrakech to visit the spectacular High Atlas Mountains. Pause at several points to snap photos of the amazing Ounila Valley which reveals dramatic rock strata in its layers during your trip. Guests should see the Telouet Kasbah which displays architectural beauty from a mixture of different styles. Make a close record of all the intricate details in the ornate elements throughout this structure. Your evening photography will reach its peak at Tamadagh during your exploration through the unspoiled Ounila Valley to photograph its beautiful kasbah.
Visit Ait Ben Haddou at sunrise to take pictures of this UNESCO World Heritage site which serves as many films' main shooting location. Drive to Erg Chigaga dunes on an extended yet beautiful journey by making stops to capture the landscapes' evolution. Sunset painters will find a camp among massive dune formations. Get ready for stunning sunset images by hiking up the dunes as golden hour begins. Lastly, the dark night offers unparalleled stellar conditions for astronomical photography because there is no moonlight to interfere.
Start your day by photographing the dunes during sunrise while they transform their hues. MM Beyond Namibia introduced us to desert exploration before we spent time understanding nomadic families. Take pictures of local residents along with their cultural dress pieces. Furthermore on our Morocco Photography Tour, we take pictures of camels which are shaped by dusk light during evening hours. Wrapping up the day you can reach your camp by enjoying a starlit camel back ride.
Travel from the dunes onward until you arrive in Foum Zguid for photos of the dramatic Iriqui Lake area along with the Jebel Bani mountain range. Photographers seeking canyon and cliff compositions will discover outstanding shooting opportunities in this undeveloped region. A wilderness camping session should target the special rock shapes for both sunset lighting and mid-night illumination.
The morning light will illuminate the canyon during your early photoshoot so you can make your way to Tafraoute in the Anti-Atlas. After hotel check-in at Ameln Valley you can discover its remarkable rock formations alongside massive rock formations. Moreover on our Morocco Photography Tour, look for interesting compositions and get ready for sunset photography during the following morning. Plentiful hours exist here for photographers to refine their skills during the peacefulness of their session.
Discover all the secrets Tafraoute holds throughout the entire day. Travellers should explore both palm oases and anonymous villages together with the impressive Ait Mansour Gorge while documenting the nature's diverse landscapes. Short hiking trails will lead you to explore out-of-the-way viewpoints where you can discover special geological patterns. When the night sets in take photos of the valley under the warm golden illumination.
International travelers depart Tafraoute to begin their journey which leads them to the Atlantic coast. Visitors can drive through the Argan Biosphere Reserve to capture photos of argan trees while you might see goats resting on tree branches. Also on our Morocco Photography Tour, Essaouira stands as a coastal settlement which draws visitors through its artistic ambiance combined with its windy seaside landscapes. Check out the medina before arranging sunset photographs of the harbor's lively blue boat fleet.
Start your day by exploring all areas of Essaouira's structure from its medina to its fortifications. Vibrant streets alongside ocean views deserve documentation as morning light creates its gentle glow. Before departing for Marrakech the group will honor the trip with a festive meal followed by their return. Upon completion of this unforgettable Morocco photography experience participants will receive their final drop-off either at the airport or their selected riad.
