DAY 1: Marrakech – Telouat – Ait Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Boumalen Dadès (Dades Gorge).

After getting an early start, travel across the High Atlas Mountains until you reach the Tizi n’Tichka pass, which is 2,260 meters high. Keep moving on until you reach the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou. There have been a lot of movies filmed there, such as “The Mummy,” “Gladiator,” “7 Days in Tibet,” “Alexander the Great,” and “Babel.” Continue on your way to Ouarzazate; your stop at the Kasbah of Taourirt and the film studios is completely optional.

Along this route, you will go via the captivating town of Skoura as well as the well-known rose-growing region of Kalaat M’Gouna. Following the arrival at Dades Gorge, there will be meals and a place to stay for the night. Distance: 300 kilometers (185 miles)

DAY 2: Boumalen Dadès, Tinghir, Todra Gorge, Arfoud, and Merzouga Dunes.

Departure in the morning towards the Merzouga dunes. Following Tinghir, you will see the groves before venturing into the Todra Gorge. The limestone cliffs appear to be an aperture carved through the Todra Assif, which has dramatic peaks plunging to the river’s bottom. The peaks climb up to 300 meters above the Todra, which originates in the High Atlas mountains. You may easily walk among the gorges and palm groves. Continue to the palm groves of Tinjedad, Touroug, and Erfoud after lunch. The journey will next take you to Merzouga, where you will have a camel ride through the beautiful dunes of Erg Chebbi, from where you will be able to watch the sunset. Sand dunes are dynamic artworks in the shape of draperies, with colors that change depending on the strength of the light. They exist like live walls beside the desert, with the tallest reaching up to 150 meters. Nomadic tents are used for sleeping at night.

DAY 3: Merzouga-Rissani-Nqob-Tamnougalte-Ouarzazate-Marrakech

After breakfast, go to the Draa Valley via Rissani and Nqob. We will travel through the most intriguing desert vistas, filled with oasis, before continuing through the Draa valley to Ouarzazate.
