Embark on a four-day private tour from Marrakech to the most astonishing sections of the Sahara Desert. This adventure will take you across rugged trails, valleys, mountain passes, canyons, sand dunes and charming villages, offering a unique exploration of this distinct land.
Day 1: Marrakesh - Aït Benhaddou - Ouarzazate - The Dadès Gorges
Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou - After collecting you from your hotel, riad or airport, you will head to Ouarzazate. On the way we cross the striking Atlas Mountains, crossing through the stunning Tizi n’Tichka mountain pass, 2,260 metres high.
At the midpoint of the journey we will arrive at the Aït Benhaddou Kasbah, the most impressive fortified city in all Morocco, and backdrop to movies such as Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven.
After the visit, take the Route of the Thousand Kasbahs to Skoura. Here, you will stop to explore Amridil Kasbah. Then, hit the road to Kelaat M’Gouna, a pretty city in Tinghir Province and capital of the Valley of the Roses. And lastly, you will drive to the Dadès Gorges, where your accommodation awaits you.
Day 2: Dadès Gorges - Todgha Gorges - Merzouga
Merzouga Dunes - After breakfast we set off towards the Dadès Valley, crossing on the way the incredible Todgha Gorges where we will stay until lunchtime. With our energy recovered, we move on in the direction of Merzouga, passing through the Jorf palm grove (which produces the best dates) and Erfoud, well known for the fragments of fossils found in the area.
Having arrived in Merzouga, we will swap our motor vehicles for camels to immerse ourselves in the desert, and search for the Bedouin camp where we will spend the night.
Here, soundtracked by desert silence, we will enjoy one of the most authentic dinners in all Morocco.
Day 3: Merzouga - Rissani-Alnif-Tazarine - Draa Valley - Agdz - Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate - If there is one unmissable sight in the desert it is sunrise. Having enjoyed this tranquil moment, the tour returns to its camels, to make for a hotel where we can shower and have breakfast (depending on the type of camp, breakfast and the shower can be before the camel ride).
Back in Ouarzazate, your chauffeur will lead you through a different route. Crossing Tafilat and the village of Rissini, where the Alawi Dynasty are originally from and the former capital of the Alawite sultans, you will get to the town of Alnif. Here, drive along the winding roads that cut across the Anti-Atlas, a stunning mountain range.
Amazed by the colours and shapes of this elevation, the track will lead you to Tazarine (important Berber village), N’kob and finally, the Draa Valley and its stunning palm grove.
In the afternoon, traverse the Anti-Altas through the Tizi n-Tinifift mountain pass and head to Ouarzazate, where you will spend a night at a riad/kasbah
