Your adventure begins early in the morning as you leave the bustling city of Marrakech behind. It’s a good idea to pack light, wear comfortable clothes, and keep a camera handy for all the breathtaking moments that await you.
As your vehicle winds through the High Atlas Mountains, you’ll pass the Tizi n'Tichka pass—the highest in North Africa. This road offers spectacular views of rugged peaks and Berber villages.
A major highlight of the day is a visit to Ait Benhaddou, an ancient kasbah that’s been featured in movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones.
By evening, you’ll arrive at the scenic Dades Valley, often referred to as the “Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs.” Spend the night in a cozy guesthouse, savoring local dishes and enjoying the calm ambiance.
After breakfast, the journey continues to Todra Gorge, where sheer limestone cliffs tower above a clear river. It’s a perfect spot for photos or a leisurely stroll.
As you drive closer to the desert, you’ll notice the landscape shift from green valleys to golden sands. This part of the trip, often featured in Viajes al Desierto Marruecos, offers several picturesque stops along the way to capture the changing scenery.
Arriving in Merzouga, it’s time for the iconic camel trek into the Sahara Desert. Riding camels across the dunes as the sun sets is an experience that feels straight out of a dream. This part of your Viaje a Marruecos is truly unforgettable.
The day ends with a night in a traditional Berber camp. Enjoy a hearty dinner, listen to traditional music, and stargaze under the clear desert sky.
Wake up early to witness a sunrise unlike any other. Watching the first rays of sunlight illuminate the sand dunes is a magical moment.
After breakfast, ride the camels back to Merzouga village. It’s a bittersweet farewell to the desert as you prepare for the journey back to Marrakech.
The return trip offers opportunities to reflect on your journey while enjoying the landscapes. Make a few stops for snacks or quick sightseeing before reaching Marrakech by evening.
