Itinerary

 

Day 1: Marrakech - Ouarzazate - Aït Ben Haddou - Dades Valley The adventure begins with an early departure from Marrakech, crossing the scenic Tizi-N-Tichka mountain pass at 2,260 meters. Along the way, you’ll visit a women’s cooperative that produces argan oil, a chance to learn about this traditional craft and sample some of the products. Before reaching Ouarzazate, we’ll stop at the UNESCO-protected Aït-Ben-Haddou, an ancient fortified city where several famous movies were filmed. Enjoy lunch in Aït-Ben-Haddou or Ouarzazate, followed by a visit to Taourirt Kasbah or the movie museum. Afterward, we’ll head through the Valley of Roses to reach the Dades Valley, where you’ll stay overnight in a cozy Riad with dinner and breakfast included. Day 2: Dades Valley - Todra Gorges - Merzouga After breakfast, we’ll continue along the picturesque Road of the Kasbahs to the impressive Todra Gorges. Take in the magnificent stone walls carved by the river Todra over centuries and enjoy a short walk through the gorges. After lunch, we’ll drive to Merzouga, where the Sahara awaits. Prepare for a camel trek into the dunes, where you’ll settle into a traditional Berber camp. Enjoy mint tea, a delicious Moroccan dinner, and live drum music around the campfire. Sleep under the stars in your private tent or spend the evening stargazing. Day 3: Merzouga - Draa Valley - Ouarzazate - Marrakech Rise early to watch the desert sunrise, followed by breakfast in the camp. Return by camel or 4x4 to Merzouga before embarking on the journey back through the scenic Draa Valley. We’ll take breaks for photos along Morocco’s longest river and stop for lunch before crossing the Atlas Mountains back to Marrakech, arriving at your hotel or riad in the early evening.
