Itinerary

Kickstart your morning by departing from the charm of Marrakech and setting a course for the Atlas Mountains. The Tichka Pass will be our gateway, a serpentine road perched at 2260 meters, offering vistas of quaint villages and lush valleys that seem to belong in a fairytale.

By the time the sun is high, we'll arrive at the storied Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a fortress that has played host to tales both ancient and cinematic—from 'Game of Thrones' to 'Lawrence of Arabia'. We'll explore its earthen walls and imagine the echoes of caravans past.

The afternoon sees us tracing the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, pausing at the picturesque Amridil in Skoura. As the day wanes, we'll settle in the Dades Valley, where the scent of roses lingers and the canyons stand sentinel.

Rise with the sun and savor breakfast before we journey to the majestic Todra Gorges, where rock walls reach skyward like nature's cathedrals. Here, adventurers and dreamers alike find their paradise.

We'll then press on to Erfoud, a town where time is etched in fossils, before the Saharan dunes of Erg Chebbi beckon us to Merzouga. There, we'll mount camels and embark on a trek across the sands, pausing for a sunset that paints the sky in strokes of fire.

As night falls, our desert camp comes alive with the pulse of drums and the crackle of a campfire. Look up—Merzouga's starry canvas awaits your gaze.

Embrace the pre-dawn hush and witness the desert sunrise—a moment of peace you'll carry forever. After breakfast, we'll leave the dunes behind and journey through Rissani and the Draa Valley, flanked by the Anti Atlas Mountains.

As the day's light fades, Ouarzazate welcomes us. Known as Africa's Hollywood, this city is a crossroads of culture and cinema, where dreams are cast in celluloid.

Our final day begins with the allure of Ouarzazate's cinematic history. We'll delve into the stories of Taourirt Kasbah and visit the famed film studios that have captured imaginations worldwide.

Then, it's back through the High Atlas Mountains, each curve of the road bringing us closer to Marrakech, where our journey began and where it now gently winds to a close.

This tour isn't just a trip—it's a narrative woven with the threads of Morocco's rich tapestry. As we return to Marrakech, the memories of our voyage will linger long after the desert sands have settled.
