A journey into the heart of southern Morocco, through the wonders of the High Atlas Mountains, historic kasbahs, the fragrant Rose Valleys, and the vast expanse of the Merzouga Desert. In just three days, you’ll cross Berber villages, dramatic rock gorges, ancient palm groves, and golden dunes, ending each day with a magical night in a desert camp under a sky full of stars.
DAY 1
Departing from Marrakech after breakfast with a private driver, you will cross the majestic High Atlas Mountains along the scenic road leading to Tizi n’Tichka Pass at 2,260 meters, the highest in Morocco. Amid breathtaking mountain landscapes, you’ll reach the famous Ait-Ben-Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its earthen walls and as the backdrop for films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. The journey continues to Ouarzazate, an important Berber city expanded by the French in the 1920s, now home to the renowned Atlas Studios, the most famous film studios in North Africa. You’ll proceed to the fragrant Valley of Roses, famous for the cultivation of Damask roses, before reaching the Dadès Valley to visit the spectacular Dadès Gorges, deep, dramatic canyons carved into the red rock. Dinner and overnight stay in a traditional riad.
DAY 2
After breakfast, the journey continues to the breathtaking Todra Gorges, natural canyons rising up to 300 meters, among the most impressive rock formations in Morocco and a favorite for climbers. You’ll then pass through Erfoud, known as the “City of Fossils” for its abundance of marine fossils and fossilized marble quarries. In the afternoon, you’ll arrive in Merzouga, the gateway to the Erg Chebbi dunes, where an unforgettable adventure awaits: a camel trek through the golden dunes. As the sun sets, you’ll reach a Berber camp in the heart of the Sahara. Enjoy a traditional dinner under the stars, accompanied by live Berber music with drums and traditional instruments. Overnight stay in a haima tent, embraced by the silence, stars, and magic of the desert.
DAY 3
Wake up early to witness the unforgettable sunrise over the dunes, a private, magical moment. After breakfast at the camp, return by camel to Merzouga, ending your Saharan adventure. The journey back to Marrakech takes you through the long and scenic Draa Valley, with its endless palm groves and ancient kasbahs lining the river. You’ll cross the Atlas Mountains again, where the landscapes shift in color and texture, arriving in Marrakech by evening, concluding three intense days of discovery among mountains, oases, canyons, and desert.
