Overview

While short excursions can provide a glimpse of Morocco’s desert environments, multi-day tours offer much greater insight into Berber and nomadic traditions. With this adventurous multi-day tour, explore the High Atlas region, stopping at kasbahs, Berber villages, and a film studio, along the way. Spend the first night in a riad in the Dadès Gorges, and the second at a desert camp in Merzouga.Observe sunset and sunrise from a desert camp near the Erg Chebbi dunes
