Day 1
Marrakech · Aït Ben Haddou · Dadès Gorges

Pick up at your accommodations in Marrakech at 8:30 AM and head to the Dades Gorges. This drive along one of the highest highways in North Africa features the breath-taking scenery of the Atlas Mountains and takes to the Tizi n’Tichka Mountain Pass.

Next stop: the fortified town of Aït Benhaddou declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987. We have lunch with one of the most iconic places in Morocco as our backdrop.

Next, we explore the patchwork of villages, gardens and olive groves around the Skoura Palm Grove. Then, we head to the Dades Gorges, a group of rugged rock formations and ravines.

Arrival at our accommodations and check-in. Dinner.

Day 2
Dades Gorges · Erfoud · Erg Chebbi

Breakfast and outing to the desert of Erg Chebbi. On the way we pass by the ruggedly beautiful landscapes of the Palm Grove and the Todra Gorges, a favorite of rock climbers.

Next, we arrive at Erfoud, and if time permits, we enjoy a beautiful sunset in the high desert. Head to Merzouga.

Camel ride to the air-conditioned tent camp in Erg Chebbi, where our luggage has been transported in a 4×4 vehicle. We enjoy a starry night and an authentic Berber dinner.
