On the first day, the group travels across the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi Ntichka pass to reach Aït Ben Haddou, a fortified village featured in several films. The route continues to Ouarzazate to see Taourirt Kasbah, then along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs through Skoura and the Valley of the Roses, ending with an overnight stay in the Dadès Gorges or nearby Skoura. The second day begins with breakfast before heading to the Todgha Gorges for a short stop to view the landscape. The journey proceeds through the Jorf palm grove to Erfoud, known for its fossils, and then to Merzouga. Here, guests switch to camels for a trek to a remote Bedouin camp in the Sahara Desert, where they spend the night and have dinner. On the final day, after watching the desert sunrise, the group rides camels back and travels to a hotel for breakfast and showers (depending on camp arrangements). The return journey passes through the Tafilalet palm grove, Rissani village, Alnif, and the Anti-Atlas Mountains, stopping in Kalaat M'Gouna for lunch. The tour concludes with arrival back in Marrakech in the evening, around 8:30 pm. The tour includes two nights of accommodation - one in a hotel and one in the desert camp - along with breakfast, dinner, camel rides, and transportation throughout.
