Marrakech-Ait Benhaddou-Ouarzazate-Roses Valley-Dades Valley
Marrakech - At seven in the morning, the group stands in front of the hotel with the driver who will accompany them. They get into the car and set off. Forty-five minutes later, the cityscape fades, replaced by traditional villages and markets, as if stepping back in time.
Tizi n Tichka - Not far from the city, modern development gradually disappears, giving way to the High Atlas Mountains and small villages perched on their slopes.
Tizi n Tichka - The road is stunning. Tizi-n-Tichka is the second-highest peak after Toubkal (2260 m altitude). The group enjoys breathtaking views of the High Atlas Mountains until reaching the Ait Benhaddou Ksar, an ancient Moroccan palace.
Ait Ben Haddou - Ait Benhaddou Ksar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, has been the backdrop for films like Gladiator, The Mummy, Prince of Persia, and Game of Thrones. The group has time for lunch and visits popular spots, including the Ksar Ait Benhaddou.
Ouarzazate - After visiting these Kasbahs, the journey continues to Ouarzazate, a charming city known as the “door of the desert” or “Hollywood of Africa.” A 20-minute drive leads to Ouarzazate, where a 45-minute stop allows for a visit to the cinema museum and the Taourirt Kasbah.
Vallee Des Roses - The visit to Ouarzazate, a delightful city, reveals why it’s a world-class film studio. The journey towards the desert continues, with the next stop being the Valley of Roses. This name is literal, as locals earn a living by growing roses and producing oils, perfumes, and cosmetics traditionally, ensuring safety and superior results compared to manufactured products.
Dades Gorges - The rocks are fascinating! The driver explains that these mountains are called the “toes of monkeys,” and upon closer inspection, they resemble giant fingers, perhaps of enormous gorillas. A brief stop is made before continuing to the hotel, still about twenty-six kilometers away. Dinner and the first night are spent at Hotel Dades.
Dades Gorges-Boumalne Village-Tinghir City-Todra Gorges-Erfoud-Merzouga
Dades Gorges - Good morning! The group enjoys a beautiful morning after spending the night in the Dades Gorges. Despite the area’s mountainous and cold winter climate, the hospitality of the hotels makes the stay one of the trip’s highlights.
Tinghir - The day is dedicated to exploring Tinghir city, the Todra Gorges, and surrounding districts, starting with a meeting with a local guide. A guided tour of Tinghir Oasis lasts about 1.5 hours, followed by a visit to the Todra Gorges. Lunch is enjoyed in the same village before heading to Merzouga, passing through Tinjdad, Erfoud, and Rissani.
Merzouga - Finally, Merzouga! A 45-minute camel ride offers a chance to witness the sunset and enter the Sahara, with another 45-minute ride the next morning to see the sunrise and exit the Sahara. The second night is spent under the stars in Berber tents, with entertainment by fire and folkloric dances.
Merzouga Desert - This area is ideal for spotting various desert bird species, including desert sparrows, Egyptian nightjars, desert warblers, fulvous babblers, and blue-cheeked bee-eaters. In spring, a shallow lake sometimes appears northwest of Merzouga, attracting flamingos and other water birds.
Merzouga-Anif-Kelaat M’gouna-Ouarzazate-Marrakech
Merzouga Desert - On the third day at 7:00 am, the group prepares for a walk in the sand. After breakfast, they meet the driver who will take them back to Marrakech.
Alnif - After leaving Merzouga, there are stops to capture photos at interesting locations.
High Atlas Mountains - At the foothills of the High Atlas, a restaurant offers a picturesque view of Berber villages surrounded by mountains. A Berber meal is enjoyed in the tranquility of the day, with the mountain air whistling.
High Atlas Mountains - Physically tired after the long journey, the group leaves with memories and a new cultural experience, having met people from various nationalities. The final stop is Ait Barka village, a place to rest and perhaps enjoy a cup of tea.
Marrakech - At 7:30 PM, the driver drops travelers off at their hotels or near their riads (as vehicles cannot access the narrow alleys where riads are located).

According to legend, a wealthy family in the area failed to extend hospitality to a poor woman and her son, which angered God, leading to their burial beneath the sand dunes located 50km south of Erfoud, known as Erg Chebbi.

According to legend, a wealthy family in the area failed to extend hospitality to a poor woman and her son, which angered God, leading to their burial beneath the sand dunes located 50km south of Erfoud, known as Erg Chebbi. These dunes majestically tower over the twin towns of Merzouga. However, the true spectacle is even more astonishing. The dunes, which can shift and reach heights of 160 meters, radiate a breathtaking rose gold hue, transforming into shades of orange, pink, and purple as the afternoon sun casts its light upon them.
