Day 1: Marrakesh, Tizi 'n Tichka, Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, and Boumalen Dades
Pickup begins early in the morning, at which point you depart from Marrakesh towards the Kasbah Ait Ben Hadou, passing by the collar of Tizi Ntichka and High Atlas Mountains along the way. Many stops are made during the journey, which includes the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to the 11th century. It is a striking example of the architecture of the traditional Moroccan South, and a picturesque site filled with emotion.
Following lunch, continue through the Roses Valley to reach your accommodation at Dades. Following a traditional dinner consisting of Berber dishes, spend the night in a local hotel and enjoy the magnificent views of the valley.
Day 2: Gorges of Dadès, Gorges of Todra, and Merzouga
After breakfast at the hotel, depart for the Toudra Gorge. The gorge is naturally constituted from high limestone cliffs that have been hollowed out for millennia and is a delight for climbing enthusiasts.
Following lunch, your journey continues to the fascinating dunes of Merzouga - a village marking the beginning of the Sahara. On your way to Merzouga, stop at one of the most fascinating sites of Morocco, which contains unreal sculptures created by the German artist Hannesjörg Voth. Once having arrived at Merzouga, your vehicle is replaced with a camel upon which you enjoy a traditional 1-hour camel ride.
You then cross the dunes and admire the sunset, which consists of a multitude of colors that change over time. After a traditional dinner accompanied by Berber rhythms, spend the night under the stars in a nomad tent in the middle of the desert.
Day 3: Merzouga, Ouarzazate, and Marrakesh
Your day begins with a sumptuous sunrise before a traditional breakfast is served. Once having traveled back to Merzouga by camel, continue through the Draa Valley and the Berber village of Agdez to reach Ouarzazate, where you visit the Kasbah of Taourirte.
Admire the exterior architecture of this 17th-century monument, which is a sandcastle with bronzed walls rising to the sky. Crossing the Atlas chain, take the road to Marrakesh safely and comfortably before arriving at your accommodation in the evening.
