Itinerary

This tour begins and ends in Marrakech and includes one night in the Dades Gorges and one night in the Merzouga desert.

Day 1

Marrakech – High Atlas Mountains (Tizi`n Tichka) – Skoura – Dades Gorges.

We depart from your accommodation in Marrakech around 8:00–8:30 AM, heading south across the High Atlas Mountains via the spectacular Tizi n'Tichka mountain pass (2,260m)—the highest in North Africa. We will visit the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, the oldest in Morocco and a UNESCO World Heritage Site; this location has served as the backdrop for numerous films and series, including *Gladiator*, *Ali Baba*, *Lawrence of Arabia*, and *Game of Thrones*. After lunch, we continue to the wonderful city of Ouarzazate (known as the "City of Cinema"), where we will stop to visit or take photos of the film studios. We will then travel along the "Route of a Thousand Kasbahs," stopping in the Valley of the Roses. Here, locals produce natural creams, soaps, and the famous rose water from their unique, highly fragrant rose harvests. Finally, we proceed to the Dades Valley, where we will spend our first night. Accommodation is provided at a Kasbah-style hotel, with dinner and breakfast included.

Day 2

Dades – Todra Gorge – Touroug – Erfoud – Merzouga – Camel excursion – Camp.

After breakfast, we head to the Todra Valley and Gorges—featuring impressive vertical walls over 300 meters high that narrow with every step. We continue through the groves of the Tinjdad palm oasis and visit the town of Erfoud, renowned for its marble and fossil production (we can arrange a visit if you are interested). In the afternoon, we arrive at the stunning dunes of Merzouga (Erg Chebbi), where we swap our 4x4s for dromedaries—our "8x8" transport—to ride across the dunes to a secluded tent camp in the heart of the desert. There, weather permitting, you can admire the starry sky amidst the magical silence of the desert. To cap off this spectacular day, following dinner, we enjoy a "drum party"—an unforgettable night.

Day 3

Merzouga – Rissani – Alnif – Tazarine – Draa Valley – Agdz – Ouarzazate – Marrakech.

We will wake up before sunrise to witness the beautiful desert dawn from atop the Great Dune. We will return to the camp for a delicious breakfast and a chance to freshen up, after which we will head toward Ouarzazate via Rissani—home to a traditional medina considered the largest in southern Morocco. Next, we will continue to Alnif, Tazarine, and the Draa Valley, with its stunning palm groves. Our journey takes us through the Berber village of Agdz and over the Ait Saoun pass (at an altitude of 1,660 meters), finally arriving in Marrakech by day's end. We hope you have enjoyed this route as much as we enjoyed designing it for you. *It will undoubtedly be a journey that stays in your heart for a long time; Morocco never fails to leave a lasting impression on those who visit.
