Description

Embark on a 3-day journey from Marrakech to the Sahara Desert, traveling through Morocco’s most breathtaking landscapes and cultural treasures. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views and photo stops along the way. Visit the Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and filming location for Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia. Enjoy a guided tour to uncover the secrets of this ancient ksar. Continue to the Dades Valley, passing through Ouarzazate and the cinematic landscapes of the Atlas Studios. After dinner, rest comfortably in a traditional guesthouse surrounded by the rock formations of the valley. On the second day, explore the majestic Todra Gorges, where high cliffs rise dramatically above the palm groves. After lunch, head toward Merzouga, where your camel caravan awaits to take you across the dunes of Erg Chebbi at sunset. Arrive at your desert camp, enjoy mint tea, a delicious Moroccan dinner, and Berber music under the starlit sky. Wake early to watch the sunrise over the dunes, one of Morocco’s most unforgettable moments. After breakfast and a refreshing shower, ride camels or take a 4x4 back to Merzouga before returning to Marrakech through the Anti-Atlas and Draa Valley, stopping for scenic breaks along the way.
