Itinerary

1

After picking you up at the Marrakech airport, or at the hotel or riad of your choice, we will begin this unforgettable 4-day desert tour through the interior of Morocco. During the journey through the Atlas Mountains we will cross Tizi n'Tichka. Located at 2260 meters, it is the Moroccan road crossing located at higher altitude. The tour through the places of the Atlas will finally take us to Ouarzazate. We will travel to the outskirts of the city to visit the legendary Kasbah of Ait Ben Hadu: a citadel that has served as a natural set for the filming of films such as Gladiator or The Kingdom of Heaven. From Ait Ben Hadu we will continue the itinerary of this day in the direction of Skoura, where we will stay in love with the Amredhyle Kasbah. We will conclude this unforgettable day through the valleys of Roses and Dades. We will have dinner and stay at a hotel in the Dades Valley.

After the forces are replenished with a good breakfast at the Dades Valley hotel, we will embark on the route to the Todra Gorges. We will contemplate the amazing natural landscapes of these breathtaking gorges, whose steep terrain has taken advantage of the Berbers that inhabit the area.

No jams. No overwhelming schedules. No hurry to catch this or that subway. No. None of that. This time we will wake up with another feeling very different from what we are used to. The awakening will be different: a sunrise over the desert of Merzouga, just at the moment when the scarlet hues dye the dunes. Hard to get over it, right? We will have breakfast with this heady natural spectacle. To continue discovering the desert landscapes, we will make an off-road tour through the dunes of Erg Chebbi, the highest in Morocco.

120 min

8

Later, we will stop in the town of Khamlia village where you will enjoy Gnawa music, visit to Mifis (Metal mines) so you can visit it on your own and then we will take you to your respective riad hotels to regain strength with a delicious dinner.
