Itinerary

We begin the journey from Marrakech and head towards The High Atlas. We cross the Mountains via the pass of Tichka, a high winding road at an elevation of 2260m. Over the road, we pass by beautiful villages, green valleys and stop in panoramas to view the Atlas Mountains’ scenery. By midday, we reach the Kasbah-town of Ait Ben Haddou which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We dedicate sufficient time to visiting the Kasbah, where several movies and series have been shot, like Gladiator, Babel, Kingdom of Heaven, Game of Thrones and Lawrence of Arabia. In early afternoon, we drive along the road of a thousand Kasbahs and have stop at Amridil, another iconic Kasbah which nestles in the oasis of Skoura. Afterwards, we drive to Rose valley and on to our accommodation in Dades valley, a verdant valley with rocky slopes.


We leave after breakfast to Todra Gorges, a 300-meter canyon walls with flowing water. Todra is one of the most visited places in southeastern Morocco by Moroccans and tourists alike. It’s also a crucial spot for rock climbers. The trip proceeds to Erfoud, the fossil town of Morocco, in the oasis of Tafilalet. In the afternoon, we get into the desert of Erg Chebbi where the real adventure takes place. We ride camels from the village of Merzouga across the dunes into a desert camp and stop on the way for the spectacular view of sunset. After dinner in the camp, there is a drum show around campfire performed by the staff. Indisputably, Merzouga is a perfect spot to admire and shoot the stars.


It is not only sunset that is magical, sunrise is beautiful too, that is why you shouldn’t miss it. After having breakfast, we return to the village and promptly hit the road through the towns of Rissani, Alnif and Agdez. We also pass by Draa valley and the Anti Atlas Mountains. By late afternoon, we reach our accommodation in Ouarzazate, the Holly Wood city of Africa.


We spend the morning exploring the city’s most remarkable places, including the cinema museum and the Kasbah of Taourirt, an old and small earthen village which dates back to the 17th century. We also visit the film studios, and then drive through the High Atlas Mountains and return to Marrakesh.
