Your journey begins with an early morning departure from Marrakech. We ascend through the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, stopping for photos of the valley vistas. Our first major stop is the ancient ksar of Aït Benhaddou; you’ll have plenty of time to explore the winding, historic streets of this legendary site. After a traditional lunch, we continue through the Skoura oasis and into the dramatic landscape of the Dades Valley. Check into your hotel for a relaxing dinner surrounded by breathtaking canyon views.
After breakfast, we set off toward the Todra Gorge, where you can walk along the river beneath massive, 300-meter-high cliffs. We continue our drive through the desert gateway towns of Tinjdad and Erfoud, arriving in Merzouga by late afternoon. Here, you’ll trade your vehicle for a camel, embarking on a trek into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. As the sun sets, you’ll arrive at your traditional Berber camp to enjoy a delicious dinner, music around the campfire, and an incredible night under a canopy of stars.
Wake up early to witness a spectacular Sahara sunrise, where the dunes glow with deep gold and amber hues. After breakfast at the camp, we begin the journey back to Marrakech. We traverse the beautiful Draa Valley—the longest river valley in Morocco—and stop in the city of Ouarzazate, famous for its film studios and the historic Kasbah Taourirt. After a relaxing lunch, we navigate the final stretch across the High Atlas Mountains, arriving back in Marrakech in the early evening to conclude your desert adventure.
