Tour Plan
Approx. driving: 6 hours
After an early pickup from your Marrakech riad or hotel, your journey begins with a scenic drive through the High Atlas Mountains. As we ascend the winding roads, you’ll pass charming Berber villages where time seems to slow down.
Our first big stop is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou. This stunning fortified village has starred in films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. After exploring the kasbah's maze-like paths, we’ll head toward the Dades Valley, also known as the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs.
Spend your evening in a peaceful mountain guesthouse, enjoying a traditional Moroccan dinner and preparing for the adventures ahead.

After breakfast, we continue toward the dramatic Todra Gorges, a photographer’s dream with its towering canyon walls and tranquil river flowing through. You’ll have time for a short walk through the gorge, where locals come to relax, hike, and enjoy nature.
By early afternoon, we reach Merzouga, where your desert adventure begins! Mount your camel for a ride into the heart of the Erg Chebbi dunes as the sun begins to set—golden light bouncing off the dunes is something you’ll never forget.
Your night is spent at our Merzouga luxury desert camp, where you’ll be treated to a traditional dinner, Berber music by the fire, and the magic of the star-filled Sahara sky.

Minimal driving – more relaxing and exploring
Wake up early to catch the sunrise over the dunes—a peaceful, once-in-a-lifetime moment. After breakfast at the camp, you can choose how to spend your day. Want more adventure? Go for sandboarding or a 4x4 dune drive. Prefer culture? Visit a local nomad family or explore the village of Khamlia, home to the Gnaoua musicians.
This slow-paced day is all about enjoying the desert’s calm energy. In the evening, you'll return to the camp for another night of desert hospitality. There's nothing quite like sleeping in a luxury tent after a day spent under the Saharan sun.

After breakfast, we say goodbye to the desert and begin the scenic drive back to Marrakech. We’ll stop along the way for photos, coffee, and a relaxed lunch. Pass through Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Morocco,” and take a final look at the landscapes that have enchanted travelers for centuries.
We arrive back in Marrakech by evening. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel or riad—tired, maybe, but full of stories and beautiful memories.
