Itinerary

Day 1:Marrakech – High Atlas Mountains – Ait Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Dades Valley

Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Marrakech as you travel across the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains via the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Enjoy panoramic viewpoints overlooking deep valleys, traditional Berber villages, and spectacular mountain landscapes, with plenty of opportunities for photos along the way.

Arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco’s best-preserved fortified village. Explore its ancient earthen streets, historic kasbahs, and hilltop viewpoints while discovering its role as an important stop on the ancient caravan trade routes and a famous filming location for international productions.

After lunch, continue to Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Morocco,” where you can admire its famous film studios and desert architecture. Travel through the beautiful Valley of Roses before arriving in the spectacular Dades Valley for dinner and an overnight stay surrounded by dramatic rock formations.

Day 2:Dades Valley – Tinghir Oasis – Todra Gorge – Merzouga Desert

After breakfast, continue through southern Morocco toward the lush oasis of Tinghir, where thousands of palm trees, traditional kasbahs, and fertile farmland create one of the country’s most beautiful landscapes.

A short drive brings you to the spectacular Todra Gorge. Walk beneath towering limestone cliffs that rise more than 300 meters while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of one of Morocco’s most impressive natural attractions.

Continue toward the Sahara Desert with an optional stop at a traditional Berber workshop before arriving in Merzouga. Leave your luggage for transfer by 4×4 and begin a memorable camel trek across the golden Erg Chebbi dunes as the sun sets over the Sahara.

Upon arrival at your luxury desert camp, enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner followed by Berber music, storytelling around the campfire, and an unforgettable night beneath a sky filled with stars.

Day 3:Merzouga – Ziz Valley – Middle Atlas Mountains – Ifrane – Fes

Wake early to witness a magical Sahara sunrise before enjoying breakfast at the camp. Return to Merzouga by camel or private 4×4 and begin your scenic journey toward Fes.

Travel through the breathtaking Ziz Valley, where thousands of date palms stretch across one of Morocco’s largest oasis systems. Continue through the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing cedar forests near Azrou where Barbary macaques can often be seen.
