Tour Plan
Your journey begins with a scenic drive across the High Atlas via the winding Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Along the way, stop at the UNESCO World Heritage ksar of Aït Ben Haddou to explore its fortified alleyways. Continue into the Dades Valley, the “Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs,” where you’ll settle into a welcoming guesthouse for two nights.
Dedicate a full day to exploring the Dades Valley. Discover the unique rock formations of the Monkey Fingers Canyon, hike through traditional Berber villages, and take in panoramic vistas of the valley. This day allows for a slower rhythm, ideal for connecting with the landscape and its people.
After breakfast, travel through the dramatic Todra Gorge, with its towering cliffs carved by centuries of water flow. Continue east to the Sahara Desert, reaching the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga. A camel trek at sunset carries you into the dunes to your luxury desert camp, where dinner, music, and a starlit sky complete the experience.
Immerse yourself in the stillness of the desert with a day dedicated to Merzouga. Options include camel rides across the dunes, a visit to nomadic families, or time to relax at the camp. As night falls, gather around the campfire for music and stories under one of the clearest skies in Morocco.
Leave the dunes behind and travel along caravan routes through the small Berber town of Alnif. By afternoon, arrive in Agdz, an oasis town in the Draa Valley surrounded by lush palm groves and ancient kasbahs. Spend the evening at a cozy guesthouse, enjoying the tranquility of this hidden gem.
On your final day, journey through Ouarzazate, where you can visit the Kasbah Taourirt or the city’s renowned film studios. Continue across the High Atlas Mountains, arriving in Marrakech in the late afternoon, where your 6-day Sahara retreat concludes.
