This immersive journey takes you through the High Atlas Mountains, UNESCO-listed Aït Ben Haddou, the scenic valleys of Dades and Todgha, and into the heart of the Sahara Desert for a camel trek and overnight stay in a Berber camp. You’ll also visit the Draa Valley, local souks, and charming desert villages — offering a deep connection with Morocco’s natural and cultural treasures.
Depart Marrakech in the morning and drive across the majestic Tizi n’Tichka Pass in the High Atlas Mountains. Stop to enjoy panoramic views and small Berber villages before reaching the famous Aït Ben Haddou kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After exploring this ancient ksar, continue to Ouarzazate, also known as the Hollywood of Africa. Visit the Taourirt Kasbah or Atlas Film Studios before checking into your hotel or riad for the night.
After breakfast, travel through the palm groves of Skoura Oasis and the fragrant Rose Valley. Follow the legendary Road of a Thousand Kasbahs as you journey into the stunning Dades Valley. Visit rock formations like the “Monkey Fingers” and the winding Dades Gorge. Overnight in a guesthouse overlooking the valley with a traditional Moroccan dinner.
Continue to the breathtaking Todgha Gorges, known for its dramatic red cliffs and peaceful river path. After some free time to explore or hike, head toward the Sahara through Erfoud and Rissani. By late afternoon, arrive in Merzouga, where your camel caravan awaits. Enjoy a magical sunset camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes and spend the night in a traditional Berber desert camp with music, food, and stars above.
Wake up to an unforgettable sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast, explore the Merzouga region including visits to nomadic families, the Gnawa village of Khamlia (known for African spiritual music), and the seasonal lake of Dayet Srji (home to flamingos in spring). Return to your riad in Merzouga for relaxation or optional sandboarding/quad biking.
After breakfast, begin the return journey through the desert. Pass through Alnif and enjoy scenic views of the Anti-Atlas mountains. Arrive in the lush Draa Valley, home to Morocco’s largest palm grove and a string of ancient kasbahs. Continue to the quiet town of Agdz for an overnight stay in a kasbah-style guesthouse.
On your final day, return to Marrakech via the Ouarzazate region. Re-cross the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, stopping for lunch and photo opportunities along the way. Arrive in Marrakech in the late afternoon or early evening. Drop-off at your hotel or riad marks the end of your 6-day Morocco desert tour.
