Itinerary

Early in the morning (8:00 AM), we will pick you up from your accommodation to begin our journey. During our adventure, we will pass through numerous towns such as Ifrane (often referred to as "the Switzerland of Morocco") and Azrou, where we will explore the Middle Atlas and its cedar forest (home to ancient trees and a population of Barbary macaques).
We will continue our journey through Midelt, known as the "City of Apples," where we will stop for lunch. Later, we will cross towns such as Errachidia (with its majestic palm grove in the Ziz Valley), Erfoud (widely recognized for its fossil discoveries), and Rissani (a city famous for its dates and its main provincial market). We will end our day at the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in the Merzouga Desert, home to the tallest sand dunes in North Africa.

From here, we will take a camel excursion through the majestic desert, stopping to watch the sunset. After this unforgettable moment, we will venture deeper into the heart of the desert, arriving at the campsite where you will spend the night.
You will be welcomed with traditional tea and enjoy a delicious Berber dinner in the middle of the vast desert. After dinner, you will experience an unforgettable night with a drum music show. Sitting around a campfire, you will also have the chance to learn to play traditional Berber instruments, creating a unique experience under one of the most stunning starry skies in Africa.

We will wake up before sunrise to witness the breathtaking sunrise in the heart of the desert (this activity is optional but highly recommended!). After breakfast, we will head towards Rissani, also known as Sijilmassa, where, if time allows, we will visit its traditional market. Rissani is a key city in the region, serving as a supply hub for perishable goods and handcrafted items for surrounding towns. It is one of the oldest and largest markets in the region.

After this visit, we will bid farewell to the palm grove surrounding the city and continue towards Dadès Valley. On the way, we will pass through various Berber (Tamazight) villages such as Erfoud and Tinghir, eventually arriving at the stunning Todra Gorges. If time permits, we will stop to explore this remarkable site.

Our day will end in Dadès, where we will enjoy dinner and spend the night.

After breakfast at our accommodation, we will continue our journey along the famed "Road of a Thousand Kasbahs," passing through the Valley of Roses and the town of Skoura.
Our journey will take us to Ouarzazate, one of the world’s most famous cities for being the backdrop of major films such as "The Jewel of the Nile", "Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra", and "Kingdom of Heaven". Known as the "Gateway to the Desert," Ouarzazate derives its name from Berber and means "without noise."

We will also visit the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. This fortified complex, surrounded by a large wall, has served as the set for movies and series such as "Game of Thrones", "Gladiator" and "Prince of Persia". We will stop for lunch in this magical location.

We will then continue our journey to Marrakech, crossing the High Atlas Mountains. Along the way, we will pass through Tizi n’Tichka, the highest mountain pass in the country at 2,260 meters above sea level. We will arrive in Marrakech and head directly to your accommodation.

Farewell and the end of our services.
