🗓 Itinerary

Day 1: Marrakech – Aït Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Skoura – Roses Valley – Dades Gorges

Day 2: Dades Gorges – Todra Gorges – Erfoud – Merzouga Desert (Erg Chebbi)
After breakfast, drive through Tinghir and marvel at the towering Todra Gorges. Continue through the towns of Tinjdad and Erfoud, gateway to the Tafilalet Oasis.

Day 3: Merzouga – Erg Chebbi 4x4 Desert Tour – Nomadic Villages – Khamlia
Wake early to watch the sunrise over the dunes, then return by camel to your hotel for breakfast and a shower. Embark on a 4×4 tour of the desert, visiting Berber nomads, local villages like Hassi Labied and Khamlia (famous for its Gnawa music), and enjoy tea with a nomadic family. In the afternoon, relax or swim at a local hotel with panoramic desert views.

Day 4: Merzouga – Erfoud – Ziz Valley – Midelt – Azrou – Ifrane – Fes
