Itinerary
- Day 1
Marrakech → Ait Ben Haddou → Dades Gorge
We pick you up in Marrakech in the morning. Over the High Atlas and the Tizi n’Tichka pass you reach the UNESCO kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, the backdrop for many films. On through Ouarzazate, the “gateway to the desert”, the palm oasis of Skoura with the Amridil kasbah, and the Valley of Roses, whose fields bloom in May. In the afternoon you reach the Dades Gorge with its red rock formations. Dinner and night at the hotel.
- Day 2
Dades Gorge → Todra Gorge → Merzouga
Today you visit the Todra Gorge, whose walls rise around 300 metres. A walk along the clear mountain river, then the drive through Berber villages and the Ziz Valley towards the Sahara. In Merzouga you climb onto a camel and ride into the sunset over the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Dinner, Berber music and night in the desert camp.
- Day 3
Merzouga → Agdz → Marrakech
It is worth getting up early: sunrise over the dunes is magical. After breakfast you drive via Alnif with its fossils, Tazzarine and Agdz in the palm-filled Draa Valley to Ouarzazate. Over the Tichka pass you reach Marrakech again in the evening.
