Itinerary

Day 1Marrakech to Dades Valley – Mountains, Kasbahs, and Oases

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through the High Atlas Mountains, navigating the winding Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m). Stop at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Ait Benhaddou, a fortified clay village famed for its role in films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Explore its labyrinthine alleys and learn about its 17th-century history.

Continue to Ouarzazate, Morocco’s “Hollywood,” where you’ll visit the Atlas Film Studios (optional) before heading to the Skoura Oasis. Wander among date palms and crumbling kasbahs, then arrive in Dades Valley for a night in a charming guesthouse. Enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner with views of the “Monkey Fingers” rock formations.

Day 2Dades Valley to Merzouga – Canyons, Camels, and Desert Nights

After breakfast, journey to the Todra Gorge, a colossal 300-meter-high limestone canyon. Walk along its riverbed or snap photos of the towering cliffs before driving through the Ziz Valley, dotted with palm groves and Berber villages.

By afternoon, arrive in Merzouga, where the Sahara’s iconic orange dunes begin. Swap your 4×4 for a camel and trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes as the sun dips below the horizon. At your luxury desert camp, sip mint tea, savor a hearty tagine dinner, and gather around a campfire for traditional Berber music. Fall asleep in a private tent under a blanket of stars.

Day 3Merzouga to Marrakech – Sunrise, Valleys, and Farewells

Wake early for a breathtaking sunrise camel ride back to Merzouga village. After breakfast, begin the return journey via the Draa Valley, a lush ribbon of date palms and ancient kasbahs stretching over 100km. Stop in Ouarzazate for lunch (own expense) and arrive back in Marrakech by evening, where your Sahara adventure concludes.
