Your Mentors

Jorge Delgado-Ureña

Although Jorge has a great memory, he always feared not remembering every detail of his life. He found the solution to his fears one day in his father’s Nikon F3. The first time he held it in his hands he felt butterflies, the kind you feel when you stumble across the love of your life, and in that moment, he knew it was something that was going to last forever.

A recent assignment took him to Nepal and during this trip not only did he fall in love with the country, he also produced and had published by National Geographic, some of the best photos of his career.

Now, with RAW photo tours he hopes to teach others to document and discover through their very own lenses, countries like Nepal, Morocco, Cuba and India.

ITINERARY

Day 1: Introduction to Morocco

Arrival to Marrakech, transfer to the riad and introduction to this intriguing country.

Day 2: UNESCO World Heritage Sitero

After a leisurely morning our adventure begins. Marrakech and its wonders will have to wait because in 4×4’s we make our way to the Land of Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator, or at least, where they were filmed. Ait Ben Haddou, aside from being a famous shooting ground, has also been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987, and as you step inside the walls of the ksar you’ll be met with earthen clay merchant houses (Kasbah’s) that will take your breath away.

With light seeping though the meandering streets and plenty of time to explore this exquisite place we begin telling our story with help of our cameras. As night falls we head to Ouarzazate where we will spend our second night.

Day 3: Land of the Berber people

The third day of our journey takes us through the Draa Valley that, thanks to its river, is a genuine oasis. The lush vegetation that grows in this hostile environment appears to defy every law of nature and will have you questioning what other wonders await. We continue heading west, passing small villages and kasbah’s, edging closer and closer to the Sahara Desert until suddenly you are able to make out the golden dunes in the horizon.

By now we are in Merzouga at the foot of Erg Chebbi, and here life is different. The people who live beside this vast expanse of sand are both exotic and intriguing, not to mention sometimes difficult to photograph. But don’t panic, we’ll show you how to make the most of it!

Day 7: Marrakech

Marrakech has stood for close to a thousand years, a city of history and culture.

One of the most evocative places in the world, it’s best know for its medina. This Red City (given this name due to the hue of the thick walls surrounding the old city) is a show-stopping sight of crowded souqs, where sheep carcasses swing from hooks next door to twinkling lamps, and narrow, doodling ochre-dusted lanes lead to nowhere. The main artery into this mazy muddle is the vast square of Djemaa el-Fna, where it’s carnival night every night. Stroll between snail-vendors, soothsayers, acrobats and conjurers, musicians and slapstick acting troupes to discover the old city’s frenetic pulse.

It’ll be a challenge to capture just one story, luckily, we have the whole day so you won’t have to!

Day 8: See you soon!

Transfer to the airport and end of the adventure…for now.
