Your adventure begins in Marrakech as we journey through the stunning High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass (2,260m) with breathtaking panoramic views. We visit the historic Kasbah of El Glaoui in Telouet before exploring the UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou, a majestic fortified village. After lunch in Ait Benhaddou or Ouarzazate, we continue through the dramatic landscapes to Dadès Gorges, where you’ll unwind in a charming riad or hotel for the night.

After breakfast, we journey towards Merzouga, passing through charming Berber villages and the Saharan gateway of Erfoud. As we reach Merzouga, the vast dunes of the Sahara unfold before us. After a short rest, we embark on a camel trek into the golden sands, arriving at our desert camp in time to witness a breathtaking sunset from the high dunes. The night is spent under the stars in traditional nomad tents, with drumming, storytelling, and endless opportunities for stunning sunset and sunrise photos.

After watching the sunrise, we return to Merzouga. There, you can take a shower and enjoy a fresh breakfast. Then, we begin our journey back to Ouarzazate. Along the way, we stop at Berber shops where you can browse unique souvenirs—fossils, carpets, lamps, and leather goods. We arrive in Ouarzazate in the afternoon and settle in for the night at a comfortable hotel.

We leave Ouarzazate in the morning and head to Ait Benhaddou for a tour and lunch. This 11th-century kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has served as a backdrop for over 20 films, including Gladiator. After lunch, we begin our journey back to Marrakech, passing through Tizi-n-Tichka, and arrive in Marrakech by evening.
