In the morning, we’ll set out for the breathtaking Todgha Gorges, a must-see natural wonder carved by the Todgha River through the towering Atlas Mountains. These dramatic limestone cliffs soar up to 400 meters high, creating a narrow canyon with vibrant hues and cool shadows—a perfect contrast to the bright desert light. We’ll walk through the gorge, marveling at the sheer walls around us and feeling the refreshing river breeze, an unforgettable experience that captures the raw beauty of Morocco’s landscapes.

After exploring the stunning Todgha Gorges, we'll continue our journey to Rissani, a historic desert town with deep roots in Moroccan culture and the gateway to the Sahara. Known as the birthplace of the Alaouite dynasty, Rissani boasts a lively souk filled with traditional crafts, spices, and the famed Madfouna, or “Berber pizza.” Walking through its bustling market and ancient streets, we’ll get a glimpse of authentic desert life and traditions. Rissani’s unique charm and cultural significance make it a perfect stop as we venture closer to the vast dunes of the Sahara.

Then, upon arriving in Merzouga, we’ll settle into our desert camp/hotel for a relaxing night, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Sahara. We’ll have time to unwind, enjoy a traditional dinner, and take in the incredible starry sky. The next day, after a restful night, we’ll embark on our camel trek to explore the dunes in the early morning light, making the experience even more magical.

Our full day in the Merzouga Desert will be packed with unforgettable experiences! We’ll start with a 4x4 adventure through the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, visiting nearby nomadic Berber villages to learn about traditional desert life. Along the way, we’ll stop at a small oasis and explore the Gnawa village of Khamlia, where we’ll enjoy the soulful rhythms of Gnawa music, a unique desert tradition. Afterward, we’ll return to the camp for lunch and some relaxation before a sunset camel trek, where we’ll journey deeper into the dunes for an incredible view as the sun dips below the horizon. Back at the camp, we’ll enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner and gather around the campfire, listening to local stories and music under the breathtaking night sky—a truly immersive day in the heart of the Sahara.

Pass via our same road of Thousand Kasbahs.

As we leave Merzouga, we’ll pass through the Tizi n'Tichka Pass, one of Morocco’s most scenic and highest mountain routes, winding through the Atlas Mountains. While we won’t be stopping for a long break, we can pause along the way to snap some stunning pictures of the dramatic landscape—snow-capped peaks, rugged terrain, and traditional Berber villages perched on the hillsides. It’s a beautiful, high-altitude experience that offers unforgettable panoramic views of the mountains and valleys below.

We’ll arrive in the vibrant city of Marrakech, where our 4-day adventure comes to an end. You’ll have time to reflect on the incredible experiences—from the desert dunes to the mountain landscapes and historic towns. Once in Marrakech, we’ll transfer you to the airport, where you can catch your flight, taking with you unforgettable memories of Morocco’s diverse beauty and culture. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again soon!
