Day 1

MARRAKECH • TIZI N’TICHKA PASS • AIT BENHADDOU • OUARZAZATE • SKOURA • KALAAT M'GOUNA • DADES GORGES

Our professional driver will pick you up at your hotel where we begin our incredible journey through the spectacular High Atlas Mountain pass of Tizi n’Tichka. Many stops along the way are provided for coffee or tea and to enjoy the breathtaking, picturesque scenery. With elevations reaching 2260 meters high, the splendor of these majestic mountains is indeed a sight to behold.

We arrive to Ait Benhaddou for lunch. This famous kasbah, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco and was used as a backdrop for more than twenty films. In Ouarzazate we visit the Kasbah of Taourirt. This was originally the residence of the Pasha of Marrakech and a symbol of the feudal period of the lords of Atlas. As we head to Skoura, savor the sight of Morocco’s most beautiful oasis. The wave of date palms in this grove seems endless.

Next we take you to Kalaat M’Gouna which is widely known for its Festival des Roses. If you are lucky enough to be here in May, you may witness the grandeur of this festival. Don’t pass up this chance to purchase the rosewater for which the city is named. We end this fascinating day in Dades Gorges at your hotel/riad.

Day 2

DADES GORGES • TODRA GORGES • ERFOUD • ALLURE OF THE DESERT CAMEL TREK

After breakfast, we explore the wondrous Dades Gorges. You will be awestruck by the magnificent multi-colored walls. We will visit a nomad family living in the mountain caves and will learn how this style of life differs from the life you will see in the desert. We will also spend time enjoying the majesty of Todra Gorges, the highest, narrowest gorge in Morocco.

When we arrive in Erfoud we visit the marine deposit of fossils where these preserved remains are unearthed and traded or fabricated into products such as jewelry. In Rissani we visit the largest Berber market of the region.

In the evening we prepare for the much anticipated camel trek into the pink sands of Morocco’s highest dunes. Enjoy your time wandering the dunes before the sun sets in a spectacular show of colors. A traditional Moroccan dinner is served, followed by a traditional music show of Berber instruments around a campfire.

Enjoy this desert night atmosphere as you take a look up at the sky. The Milky Way will be waiting for you in full glory. Count the shooting stars as you gaze in wonder before a peaceful night in a private nomadic tent. This truly is an oasis in the middle of the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi.

Day 3

MERZOUGA DESERT • MARRAKECH

Be sure to wake up early to see the beauty of the picturesque sunrise over the desert dunes. It just might be the most spectacular one you’ve seen. Don’t fail to appreciate the unique beauty of these breathtaking dunes of Erg Chebbi as the changing light of day plays upon the sand.

Savor the morning breakfast before departing this incredible camp. We travel back through the High Atlas Mountain Pass. There will be stops along the way for coffee or tea and to capture a few more pictures of this magnificent route. You will be dropped off at your hotel as today concludes your incredible adventure in the alluring country of Morocco.
