Tour Plan :
Day 1: Marrakech – High Atlas Mountains – Ait Ben Haddou – Skoura/Dades Valley
We will pick you up at your riad and set off to cross the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass – at 2260m (7417ft) it’s the highest pass in Morocco. Enjoy amazing views of this fascinating landscape and the Berber villages it contains, and see the Telouet Kasbah, which was once a residence of the pasha of Marrakesh.
Continuing south we arrive at the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, probably the most celebrated, filmed, and photographed Kasbah in Morocco. Featured in numerous films (including Lawrence of Arabia, The Sheltering Sky and Gladiator), it is the best-preserved Kasbah in Morocco and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Continuing on to Ouarzazate, you will have the opportunity to explore the world-famous Atlas Film Studios and the Taourirt Kasbah.
Travelling along the Thousand Kasbah’s Road, we arrive at Dades Gorge where you will stay overnight in a wonderful property overlooking the valley.
Day 2: Dades Valley – Todra Gorges – Rissani – Merzouga – Desert
We take the road to Merzouga through the Todra Gorge, a narrow corridor with sheer cliffs 300m (985ft) high rising up dramatically each side. These are the most impressive cliffs in southern Morocco and they are well known to experienced mountaineers. In Todra Valley you will have a panoramic view of the surrounding area containing old mud kasbahs.
If time permits and you're inclined to explore by foot, an optional hike awaits you within the valley. Immerse yourself in the local culture and geography as you meet with friendly locals in their fields, offering an enriching experience of authentic Morocco.
Passing through villages like Tinjdad, Mallaab and Touroug we arrive in Merzouga in the late afternoon to be welcomed by your camel guide who will take you across the sand dunes to your luxurious desert camp. Immerse yourself in the magic of the desert at Erg Chebbi. Enjoy an unforgettable evening with dinner, campfire, and local music. Spend the night under canvas or beneath the stars, if weather permits. Your camp offers modern comforts like Western bathrooms and hot showers for your convenience.
Day3: Merzouga – Alnif – Draa valley – Ouarzazate – Atlas Mountains - Marrakech
You will experience an unforgettable sunrise in the Sahara Desert, followed by a hearty breakfast and refreshing shower at your desert camp. You will enjoy witnessing the mesmerizing transformation of the sand's colors as daylight unfolds before embarking on your journey back to Merzouga.
Upon returning to Merzouga, your journey takes you through the breathtaking Draa Valley, where you'll explore the sights of Rissani. Here, the splendid Moroccan architecture found in palaces, gateways, and temples offers countless photographic opportunities.
Continuing your adventure, you'll pass through Nqob and Tamnougalt before arriving once again in the familiar city of Ouarzazate. Take your time to savor a leisurely lunch at one of the charming cafes before you continue through the majestic Atlas Mountains, bound for Marrakech.
As the day draws to a close, we anticipate your arrival in Marrakech around 8:00 p.m., marking the end of our remarkable journey filled with unforgettable experiences and cherished memories.
