Sahara Desert Adventure

Your adventure begins at 8:00 AM with a warm welcome from your driver at your hotel in Marrakech. Hop into a comfortable 4×4 and embark on a stunning drive through the Tizi-N-Tichka Pass (2,260m) in the High Atlas Mountains. Along the way, marvel at the ever-changing landscapes, vibrant Berber villages, and panoramic vistas.

We’ll stop at Tamellalt village to explore its charming streets and admire the iconic rock formations of the Dades Valley, often referred to as Morocco’s “Grand Canyon.” As the day winds down, enjoy a traditional dinner and restful overnight stay at a cozy hotel nestled in the valley.

Fuel up with a hearty breakfast before venturing onto the famous Route of 1,000 Kasbahs, a winding road dotted with fortified villages. Stop in Tineghir, home to a lush palm grove and a historic Jewish quarter, before arriving at the towering Todra Gorges. These majestic canyons, with walls reaching 300m, are a paradise for trekkers and rock climbers alike.

Afterward, continue your journey toward the vast dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga. Along the way, savor a delicious lunch in Erfoud, a town known for its fossil treasures. At Merzouga, a warm welcome awaits you with a refreshing glass of tea at a charming desert hotel.

Then, the adventure truly begins—embark on a camel trek across the dunes as the sun dips below the horizon. After capturing the magic of a desert sunset, return to your luxurious bivouac for an unforgettable evening. Indulge in a traditional dinner, enjoy lively drum music under a starlit sky, and fall asleep in the serene silence of the Sahara.

Awaken to a stunning desert sunrise before enjoying breakfast at the camp. Begin your return journey to Ouarzazate, stopping to visit an ingenious ancient water canal system along the way.

Once in Ouarzazate, explore the historic Taourirt Kasbah, a labyrinth of earthen walls and courtyards, and visit the world-famous Atlas Film Studios, where Hollywood blockbusters like Gladiator and The Jewel of the Nile were filmed.

Next, head to the legendary Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This striking fortified village has served as the backdrop for numerous films, including Game of Thrones and Sahara. End your day with dinner and an overnight stay at a charming hotel in Ouarzazate.

After breakfast, embark on a scenic drive through the High Atlas Mountains, stopping in Telouet, home to a stunning Kasbah steeped in history. Enjoy a leisurely lunch in the village before continuing your journey through the dramatic Tizi-N-Tichka Pass.

Arrive in Marrakech in the afternoon, where your driver will drop you off at your accommodation, marking the end of an extraordinary journey through Morocco’s diverse landscapes and rich heritage.
