    We will travel by car through Berber villages to reach Erfoud, and then continue on to Rissani, the birthplace of the Alaouite dynasty, which is the royal family that currently rules Morocco. When you arrive at Merzouga at the end of the day, you will be greeted with a drink of mint tea, and then you will ride your camel to the center of the tallest sand dunes in Morocco, where you will spend the night. You will spend the night at our desert camp, which is also where you will eat dinner.
Day 2: SAHARA DESERT – TODGHA GORGE – DADES VALLEY

    Your camel guide will wake you up at an ungodly hour so that you may witness the dawn, which has the potential to be the most beautiful you've ever seen. After that, you'll have a relaxing camel walk back to your riad while savoring the stunning natural beauty of the Erg Chebbi dunes, which will continue to transform throughout the day as the sun moves over them.
  2. Todra Gorge
    3h
    After having breakfast and a steaming shower in a typical Moroccan guesthouse, you will go to the Tinghir and Todgha gorges, which are Morocco's tallest and narrowest gorges, respectively. You'll have the chance to go for a trek all the way along the valley here.
