Cross the majestic High Atlas Mountains, explore ancient kasbahs, and experience the magic of the Sahara Desert with a night in a luxury Berber camp. The adventure continues through dramatic gorges, lush oases, and concludes with a scenic drive through the Middle Atlas region to the imperial city of Fez.
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your Marrakech accommodation. We’ll journey across the High Atlas Mountains via the spectacular Tizi n’Tichka Pass, with regular stops at scenic viewpoints. Our first major stop is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou, where you’ll explore the ancient kasbah that has featured in numerous famous films. After lunch, we continue through the picturesque landscapes, passing through Ouarzazate and the beautiful Valley of Roses before reaching the dramatic Dades Canyons, where you’ll spend the night in a local hotel.
After breakfast, we travel to the impressive Todra Gorge, where you can walk between towering 300-meter-high canyon walls. Following lunch in the area, we continue toward the Sahara Desert. As we approach Merzouga, the landscape transforms into golden sand dunes. Here, you’ll mount camels for a magical trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes to your luxury desert camp. Enjoy a spectacular sunset, followed by a traditional dinner and Berber music under the stars.
Wake early to witness the breathtaking desert sunrise. After breakfast at the camp, embark on a 4×4 desert exploration that includes:
