Leaving Marrakech, you cross the scenic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, passing Berber villages perched on dramatic hillsides. A stop at Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar, reveals centuries-old architecture and a backdrop for many famous films. Continuing through Ouarzazate and the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, you arrive in the picturesque Dades Valley, surrounded by twisted rock formations and peaceful oases.

Your day begins with a visit to the impressive Todra Gorge, where towering cliffs rise above a narrow canyon. As you continue toward Merzouga, the scenery transforms from mountains to open desert until the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi appear. In the afternoon, a camel trek takes you across the sands to your desert camp, where you enjoy a Saharan sunset, traditional music, and a night under a sky filled with stars.

After a peaceful sunrise in the dunes, you begin your journey north, passing through the lush palm groves of the Ziz Valley and the mountain town of Midelt.

Your final day takes you to Casablanca, Morocco’s modern metropolis and economic center.
