ITINERARY
Day 1 – Marrakech

Reception at the airport – Free day.

Day 2. -Marrakech – High atlas – Ait Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Dades Valley

We will cross the High Atlas Mountains through the Tizi N’chka pass, which offers unbeatable views of the summits of this mountain range, snow-capped from autumn to spring. The first big stop on this day will be the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou: its (optional) visit is full of reasons, including its declaration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its choice as a filming location for important films and series (Lawrence de Arabia, Game of Thrones).
Crossing Ouarzazate, the Hollywood of Morocco, we enter the road of the ‘thousand kasbahs’, named for the large number of adobe fortresses it houses. The Valley of the Roses, first, and the Dades Valley, later, are responsible for providing color and vegetation to this final stretch of the first day. A charming riad in the Dades Valley will be the chosen accommodation for dinner and rest in the evening of this first day of route to the desert of Merzouga.

Day 3. -Dades Valley – Todra Gorges – Erfoud – Merzouga

After breakfast, the second day begins, where the experiences to be lived in first person will be even greater. The best appetizer, before reaching the desert of Merzouga, are the Todra Gorges: our vehicle will travel its winding roads safely, but we will also set foot on land to get to know closely its spectacular rock walls and the small sheet of river that has made possible this miracle of nature.

Moment of pure Magic in the Desert

A similar qualification deserves the desert of Merzouga, ‘bathed’ by a sea of fine golden sand dunes. In this town that gives them their name, we will have a reference hotel in which we will change ‘vehicle’: the four wheels will give way to the humps, as we will climb on the backs of our dromedaries to reach the tent camp (optional and replaceable by a 4×4 vehicle). The sunset in the dunes of Erg Chebbi will become one of the most special moments of the route to the desert of Merzouga, as well as the contemplation of the stars in a particularly clear and bright night sky. At the end of the day, it will be time to enjoy dinner and a restful sleep in the Berber tents of the camp, where not a single detail of comfort is missing.
