Itinerary

After enjoying breakfast, you’ll embark on an exciting journey from Marrakesh to Boumalne Dades. Your adventure starts as you travel east towards the High Atlas Mountains and traverse the rugged Tizi n’ Tichka Pass, which stands at 2,260 meters. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to capture panoramic photos. Upon reaching the palm groves in Skoura, you’ll visit one of Morocco’s most stunning kasbahs, the historic Kasbah Amridel, a testament to Morocco’s rich architectural history.

Then head towards Kelaat M’Gouna, known as the “Valley of Roses,” and surrender to the scent of rose cultivation and the art of making rose water in local cooperatives. Then, travel to the final destination, Boumalne Dades. Enjoy the rugged splendor of the Dades Valley, where towering rock formations create a stunning panorama. Stop by the stunning views, each a symphony of natural splendor. Spend the night in Boumalne Dades, where tales of your journey linger in the fresh mountain air.

 

After enjoying a delightful breakfast at our Riad, we will eagerly resume our journey, heading east. The highlight of our day will be a visit to Todgha Gorges, a breathtaking and awe-inspiring canyon nestled in the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. Then, we will drive through semi-desert terrain to the city of Erfoud, which is considered Morocco’s most prominent open natural fossil museum. We’ll stop at one of the fossil workshops to delve deeper into the region’s ancient history, which dates back millions of years, before finally arriving at Erg Chabbi Dunes of Merzouga desert.

After we have breakfast, we’ll commence our journey to discover the Merzouga area. Our first stop will be the Hassilabiad Oasis. Next, we’ll traverse the historic Dakar Rally tracks to visit the nomadic community and gain insight into their way of life. We’ll then proceed to the Khamlia village to experience the unique traditional music known as Gnawa music. After the tour, you’ll have some free time to partake in one of the most renowned activities in the area – exploring the heart of the sand dunes by Quads or ATV (optional). To conclude, we’ll return to the hotel for a brief break before embarking on a camel ride to the camp, where we’ll spend a magnificent night under the peace of the starry sky.

 

Make sure not to miss the chance to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the dunes, then enjoy a refreshing shower and a delightful breakfast at the camp. After that, continue your journey to Marrakesh, passing through Rissani, renowned for its historical and economic significance. Traverse through desert scenery and the magnificent Atlas Mountains before reaching the expansive Draa Valley, located around 1,200 km away.
