We will pick you up early from Marrakech and drive you across the 2,260-meter Tizi n’Tichka pass and into the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains. Our first destination is the well-known village of Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site that has served as a backdrop for numerous films due to its amazing Kasbahs. After lunch, we will continue to Ouarzazate, often referred to as the “Hollywood of Morocco.” We will drive through the gorgeous Skoura palm forest before arriving at the Dades Valley, where we will spend the night.

Following breakfast, we will continue our drive to the Sahara Desert. Along the way, we’ll pass through vibrant Berber towns and stop in Tineghir, noted for its beautiful palm trees. Next, we’ll visit the Todra Gorge, a stunning canyon perfect for a short stroll. Later, we’ll travel to Merzouga, home of the famed Erg Chebbi dunes. You’ll spend the night in a cozy native riad, soaking up the desert atmosphere.

Today you will enjoy the beauty of the desert. You’ll explore the area including Gnaoua town, the Mifiss mines, and panoramic desert views where you may visit nomadic Berber families. In the afternoon, you’ll ride camels across the dunes, enjoying a spectacular sunset en route to your campsite. You’ll spend the night in a traditional nomadic tent under the stars, immersed in the Sahara’s peaceful calm.

Wake up early to witness the unforgettable sunrise over the dunes. After your camel ride back to the village, enjoy breakfast and a refreshing shower. We’ll then visit Rissani to explore its ancient attractions including Moulay Ali Cherif’s Mausoleum and the historic market. After lunch in Nkoub, we’ll drive through the breathtaking Draa Valley – dotted with date palms and ancient kasbahs – before arriving in Ouarzazate for dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, we’ll return to Marrakech via the scenic Berber town of Telouet where you’ll visit the impressive Kasbah el Glaoui. We’ll then cross the High Atlas Mountains again, enjoying the spectacular views, before arriving back in Marrakech in the afternoon to conclude your memorable tour.
