Your journey begins early in the morning as you depart from Marrakech and head southeast through the winding roads of the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Along the way, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Berber villages and mountain landscapes. After a few hours on the road, you’ll arrive at the UNESCO-listed Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a historic fortress village and popular film location. Take some time to explore its ancient alleys and mud-brick buildings before continuing on to Ouarzazate, often referred to as the “Hollywood of Morocco.”

Next, you travel through the Draa Valley, known for its lush palm groves and traditional ksars, making scenic stops along the way. As you approach the Sahara, the scenery transforms into a vast, golden landscape. By late afternoon, you’ll arrive in Merzouga, where your camel awaits. Embark on a magical camel trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes, enjoying the peaceful silence of the desert as the sun sets. Your evening is spent in a comfortable desert camp, where you’ll enjoy dinner, Berber music, and a night under the stars.
