Accommodation
We use tried & tested Hotels in both Marrakech and the Todra Gorge. You will be perfectly situated for the climbing in the Gorge and for a sample of Marrakech.
The rooms used are modern, clean and secure with a shower, toilet & linen. The Hotel in the Gorge is of basic standards, but the best in the area.

We recommend Easy Jet or BA for your flights.
