The Itinerary
Marrakech – Ait Ben Haddou – Dades
We pick you up from your hotel in Marrakech and ascend the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi-n-Tichka pass, offering breathtaking views of the valleys below.
Our first major stop is the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. After lunch, we travel through Ouarzazate and the Valley of Roses to the Dades Valley for our overnight stay.
Dades – Todra Gorges – Merzouga
After breakfast, we drive to the Todra Gorges, a spectacular canyon popular with climbers. We continue towards the desert, passing through Erfoud.
In the afternoon, we arrive in Merzouga. Mount your camel for a trek into the heart of the Erg Chebbi dunes. Watch the sunset over the golden sands before arriving at your desert camp for dinner and drum music under the stars.
Merzouga – Ziz Valley – Fes
Wake up early to catch the sunrise. After breakfast, we depart for Fes. We travel through the palm-filled Ziz Valley and stop for lunch in Midelt.
Crossing into the Middle Atlas Mountains, we visit the Cedar Forest near Azrou to see the Barbary monkeys. Our final stop is Ifrane, "Little Switzerland," before arriving in Fes in the late evening.
