Marrakech, the vibrant heart of Morocco, is a city that captivates the senses. As you step into its bustling streets, you will be immersed in a tapestry of images, sounds, and aromas. At the heart of the city lies Djemaa el Fna, a square that comes alive with electrifying energy at sunset. Get lost in the maze of exotic stalls, where storytellers, musicians, and snake charmers entertain the crowds. Indulge in the tempting flavors of Moroccan cuisine from food stalls, and witness the swirling colors of traditional costumes and crafts.
Welcome to Morocco!
After arriving at Menara Airport in Marrakech, you will be greeted by our French-speaking driver, who will take you to your beautiful villa on the outskirts of Marrakech.
To get to know your travel group, you will all meet for a delicious local dinner served at the villa.
After dinner, Jonathan will give you your first photography lesson to kick off the trip: "The Basics of Photography."
Overnight in Marrakech.

Important: Villa access is available from 2:00 PM.
Early morning, between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM, your driver will pick you up at the villa for a hot air balloon ride! As the sun begins to rise, you will gently float above the stunning Moroccan landscapes, flying over picturesque villages, golden dunes, and lush palm groves. You will experience a surreal tranquility and create memories that will last long after the balloon lands.
You will also take this opportunity to learn from Jonathan about "Light and Aerial Photography."
After the hot air balloon ride, you will enjoy breakfast on-site before heading out for an excursion to Essaouira.
Essaouira is a welcoming coastal city located on the Atlantic coast. You will cross valleys filled with orange groves and olive trees. You will learn about the Argan trees, whose oil is known for its nutritional, cosmetic, and medicinal benefits. Explore Essaouira’s medina with its ancient streets and beautiful souks. You can spend the afternoon relaxing on the beach, which is right by the medina.
During this excursion, Jonathan will give you tips on "Travel Photography and Landscapes."
At the end of the day, we will return to Marrakech.

This will also be the perfect opportunity for a photo session in the desert.
