Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up from your Marrakech hotel. As you leave the city behind, you’ll cross the breathtaking Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m), the highest mountain road in Morocco, offering panoramic views of the High Atlas.
Your first major stop is the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou, a stunning fortified village that has served as a backdrop for films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. After exploring its ancient alleys, you’ll continue to Ouarzazate, known as “the Hollywood of Morocco,” where you’ll visit the Atlas Film Studios and the grand Taourirt Kasbah.
The day ends in the scenic Dades Valley, where you’ll spend the night in a charming guesthouse, enjoying a traditional Moroccan dinner.
After breakfast, you’ll drive through the dramatic Todgha Gorge, where towering canyon walls rise up to 300 meters, creating a spectacular natural wonder. A short walk through the gorge allows you to fully appreciate its grandeur.
Next, you’ll pass through Erfoud, famous for its fossil workshops, before reaching the gateway to the Sahara—Merzouga. Here, you’ll switch from your vehicle to camels for a magical sunset trek across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.
Upon arrival at your luxury desert camp, you’ll be welcomed with mint tea and traditional Berber music. Enjoy a delicious dinner under the stars before spending the night in a comfortable, well-equipped tent.
Wake up early to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes, a truly unforgettable experience. After breakfast at the camp, you’ll return to Merzouga by camel or 4×4 (your choice).
On the way back, you’ll stop in Rissani, a historic trading town where you can explore a lively local market (if it’s market day). The journey continues through the lush Draa Valley, known for its endless palm groves and traditional mud-brick villages.
You’ll spend the night in Ouarzazate, where you can relax and reflect on your desert adventure.
The final day takes you back to Marrakech through the High Atlas Mountains. Along the way, you’ll have the option to visit Kasbah Telouet, a once-powerful fortress with intricate architecture.
As you wind through the mountain roads, you’ll make several scenic stops for photos before arriving back in Marrakech in the evening, where you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation.
