Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Marrakech, heading towards the High Atlas Mountains through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Along the way, you’ll enjoy scenic views of rugged mountains and traditional Berber villages. The first stop is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified village known for its ancient architecture and its role as a backdrop for many films.

After exploring Ait Ben Haddou, continue to Ouarzazate, the “Hollywood of Morocco.” Here, you’ll visit the Taourirt Kasbah and explore the local film studios. You’ll spend the night in a guesthouse, enjoying a traditional Moroccan dinner and a peaceful evening.

On day two, your journey continues through the beautiful Skoura Oasis, a region dotted with ancient kasbahs and lush palm groves. You’ll pass through the Valley of Roses, famous for its annual rose festival, and make your way to the spectacular Dades Valley. Known for its dramatic cliffs and rock formations, the Dades Valley is a perfect spot for hiking and photography.

You’ll spend the night in a guesthouse in the valley, enjoying a delicious dinner and soaking in the natural beauty of the area.

After breakfast, head towards the breathtaking Todra Gorge, where towering cliffs rise 300 meters above the narrow canyon floor. This is one of Morocco’s most impressive natural landscapes and a perfect spot for a short hike or a stroll along the river.

From Todra Gorge, continue your journey through the arid landscapes of Erfoud and the Ziz Valley, eventually arriving at the gateway to the Sahara, Merzouga. In Merzouga, you’ll swap your vehicle for a camel and embark on a memorable camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes. Watch the sunset over the golden sands as you ride to your Berber camp, where you’ll spend the night under the stars, enjoying a traditional dinner and Berber music around the campfire.

Day four is all about exploring the vast beauty of the Sahara Desert. Begin your day with a stunning sunrise over the dunes, followed by a traditional breakfast at the camp. You’ll have the opportunity to try desert activities like sandboarding, quad biking, or visiting a nearby Berber village to learn more about the nomadic lifestyle.

In the evening, take another camel trek through the dunes and enjoy a second night in the desert camp, with dinner and entertainment around the fire.

After a magical night in the desert, you’ll ride your camels back to Merzouga and begin the return journey towards Ouarzazate. Along the way, pass through the small towns of Alnif and N’Kob, both known for their striking desert landscapes and traditional Berber architecture. You’ll also cross the Draa Valley, famous for its palm groves and ancient kasbahs.

Arriving in Ouarzazate in the evening, you’ll enjoy your last night in a comfortable guesthouse, reflecting on the incredible desert experiences.

On the final day, you’ll make your way back to Marrakech, retracing your steps through the High Atlas Mountains and the Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Along the way, stop for photos and to appreciate the stunning scenery one last time before arriving in Marrakech by late afternoon, completing your incredible 6-day desert tour.
