Highlights

From Marrakech To Boumaln Dades Via Ait ben Haddou\n\nTizi n Tichka - Our Desert tour From Marrakech to Merzouga through Morocco’s famed desert begins in Marrakech, where you can meet us at the airport, your hotel, or any other location. Our driver/guide will meet you there and transport you on a road trip in a car equipped with all of the newest conveniences.\n\nWe’ll cross the Atlas Mountains through the Tizi n’Tichka pass, which is the highest in the range at around 2,200 meters above sea level, leaving behind breathtaking panoramic views and Berber settlements where time seems to have stood still.\n\nAit Ben Haddou - We will visit the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou a few kilometers before Ouarzazate, which is renowned as Morocco’s Hollywood because of its famed studios. A tour around its adobe perimeter will show us why it was awarded a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. (optional entrance). We’ll also make a photo stop at the Taourirt Kasbah.\n\nVallee Des Roses - It will not be the only fortress that will appear on the horizon, because from then on we will travel part of the Road of the thousand kasbahs’, through the Valley of the Roses and the Dades Valley. First, the rose bushes occupy hectares and hectares of land. And in the second, palm trees, birch, and almond trees grow at the foot of the river that gives it its name.\n\nPrecisely in the Dades Valley, we will make a stop on the way to spend the night in a riad full of charm and regain strength for the intense day of the next day, which will take us to the very heart of the Moroccan desert.\n\n### From Dades Valley to Merzouga desert via Toudra Gorges\n\n\nErg Chebbi - We’ll get back in the car and go to Merzouga, the most admired town in the Moroccan desert. We will change modes of transportation here: we will park our vehicle and mount our camels (optionally can be replaced by a 4x4) to travel to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes.\n\nThere is a Berber tent camp there with all the amenities for a great stay. But the real delight will be all around you, as the sunset will take on a new hue and the sky will be pure, allowing the stars to sparkle as you’ve never seen them before. You will enjoy your dinner and your night’s relaxation in this unique setting.\n\n### From Merzouga Desert To Marrakech Via Agdz\n\nRissani - The previous day’s stunning sunset and majestic starry sky continue in the third day’s sunrise, which you can see from the camp. With the dawn of a new day, it will be time to enjoy the complimentary breakfast and then relax with a relaxing shower, which will be provided either in the camp or in a Merzouga hotel. After that, we’ll drive to Rissani, where we’ll explore its medina, which is one of the most beautiful in the country’s south.\n\nDraa Valley - We’ll then travel to other communities in this part of the Moroccan desert, including Alnif and Tazarine. We’ll also pass through the Draa Valley, which is home to North Africa’s largest palm grove. Agdz, a traditional halt on caravan routes that today houses places of interest like the Kasbah des Arts, is one of the towns along the route that exemplifies this.\n\nOuarzazate - Returning to Marrakech from here will take us back to Ouarzazate and the Atlas Mountains, which we will now traverse over the Ait Saoun pass, which is roughly 1,600 meters above sea level. The end of an intense and exciting journey through the Moroccan desert will be reached late in the day when you arrive in Marrakech. And our farewell, whether at the airport or elsewhere, will be full of gratitude, best wishes for the future, and a heartfelt \

ATVs in Sahara - We rode ATVs from our Sahara campsite with our guide Mustapha. We had a great time and would highly recommend booking a desert adventure with his company!

Many thanks - Had a great time during our four day trip from Marrakech to Fes. They try their very best te cater to your every need. So do not be afraid to ask if it would be possible to do this or that. For example, we requested a quad desert tour wich they provided excellently. Our driver was very kind and succesfully showed us a part of the Morrocan and thus his own culture, aswell as keeping us safe and well fed during our trip. Be aware it is a tour in wich they try to show you as much as possible wich is great in my opinion, but you may need to plan a day of pool lounging afterwards. Also remember to pass trough the monkey forest when entering Fes. In retrospect, I would recommend this tour and the organisation for sure! In those four days I saw almost everything I wanted to see about Morocco and had a honeymoonlike experience in the desert. Again many thanks to our driver Mustapha.

Beautifull experience! - We were on a four-day trip to From Marrakech to the Desert at august. The program arranged very diverse and attractive! along the way we stopped in charming hotels and were able to see many spectacular sights such as the Dades and Todra Georges. Our guide and also travel driver Mustapha was an excellent guide to authentic places. He was very helpful, open to individual suggestions, but above all he was a warm, open, sociable travel companion:) we had a super contact. Mustapha, thank you again for showing the taste of Berber pizza and cool conversations about Saharan blues (Tien Riwen:) or Berber life! The coolest thing about traveling is the people we can meet on our way and with whom we can have tea together!

Amazing! - What a fantastic experience and what a great team! We’ve rented quads and went around the desert with our kids, we came back with a huge smile on our faces. The prices are fair, the team super kind, and the whole experience awesome!
