Day 1: Marrakech – Ouarzazate – Dadès Gorges
Embark on an unforgettable journey that will take you from the vibrant city of Marrakech to the breathtaking Dadès Gorges. Traverse the Tizi-n-Tichka Atlas pass, standing tall at an impressive elevation of 2260 meters, and witness the stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Immerse yourself in the traditional Berber culture as you visit the charming village of Telouet and explore the Kasbah of El Glaoui – the former War Lord and Pasha of Marrakech – with the help of an expert guide. Marvel at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Benhaddou, a magnificent fortified village (ksour) that boasts a unique charm and a rich history. Indulge in a sumptuous lunch at either Ait Benhaddou or Ouarzazate before continuing your journey to the enchanting Dadès Gorges, where you will spend a comfortable night in a luxurious riad or hotel.
Day 2: From Dadès Gorges to Merzouga
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure! We’ll kick off our journey with a scrumptious breakfast and hit the road, heading towards one of the most stunning destinations in Morocco – the Sahara desert of Merzouga! Along the way, we’ll pass through several Berber villages and soak in their unique culture and traditions. As we drive through Tinjdad, Jorf, and Erfoud, we’ll feel the excitement building up inside us as we approach the beginning of the majestic Saharan Oasis of Tafilalt.
Once we arrive in Merzouga, we’ll take a moment to relax before embarking on an exhilarating camel ride through the awe-inspiring dunes. The breathtaking views will leave you spellbound, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to snap some amazing pictures of the sunset and sunrise. As night falls, we’ll retire to a lavishly equipped campsite, complete with traditional drum music to get us in the mood.
But the adventure doesn’t end there! We’ll climb the highest dunes to witness the stunning beauty of the starry night sky, and then retire to our cozy nomad tents, where we’ll spend the night under the twinkling stars. It’s an experience you’ll never forget
