Overview

Embark on an unforgettable 3 - day adventure from Marrakech to the Merzouga Desert, where the magic of Morocco truly comes alive. This journey takes you from the vibrant streets of Marrakech, across the majestic High Atlas Mountains, to the golden dunes of the Sahara Desert.

Travel through scenic landscapes and ancient Berber villages as you cross the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, visit the famous Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and explore the cinematic town of Ouarzazate. Continue through the Dades Valley and the spectacular Todgha Gorges, carved by the power of nature.
