Description
Begin your journey in Marrakech and travel across the stunning High Atlas Mountains, passing Berber villages and dramatic landscapes. Visit the famous Aït Benhaddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its ancient architecture and movie locations. Continue through Ouarzazate and the Valley of the Roses before heading toward the Dades region. Your first night will be spent in Dades Valley or Tinghir, depending on hotel availability, both offering beautiful scenery, traditional hospitality, and a comfortable night’s stay.
On day two, explore the impressive Todra Gorge with its towering limestone cliffs before making your way to Merzouga on the edge of the Sahara. Meet your camel caravan and ride into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi as the sun sets. Arrive at your desert camp for a traditional dinner, Berber drumming, and an unforgettable night under the star-filled sky.
Wake early on the final day to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, travel through the Ziz Valley and the Middle Atlas region, passing cedar forests, volcanic landscapes, and charming local towns. Your 3-day adventure ends with drop-off in Fes after experiencing Morocco’s most iconic and diverse landscapes.
