We will pick you up from your hotel or riad and head out to the High Atlas Tizi-n-Tichka pass at 2260m altitude. We’ll break up your journey with a visit to the kasbah Telouet and then take the caravan tracks to the kasbah at Ait Benhaddou.
After an eventful day, you can relax for the night on the edge of the Sahara, ready to explore in the morning.
Day2 : Ourzazate to Dades Gorges to the Todgha Gorges to MerzougaAfter breakfast we’ll take you out to see ‘The Valley Of The Roses’ with the winding River Dades running through the centre.
When we leave, we’ll get some stunning views of the surrounding countryside as we travel on toward Tinghir and the Todgha valley. Make sure you keep an eye out for traditional Berber huts and villages!
Our next destination is the dramatic 300m Todgha Gorge, a popular, destination with rock climbers and occasionally even film-makers.
Afterward, we’ll set off for the village of Merzouga where we’ll be welcomed with a glass of mint tea and a short rest.
From there, we’re off into the desert! When we’re ready, we’ll ride our camels out into the dunes and catch the sunset before spending the night in a traditional nomad’s tent. Your dinner is included.
Day3 : Merzouga to Rissani to Erfoud to MarrakechToday, we’ll get up early to watch the desert sunrise among the dunes and to get ready for the day ahead.
