Upon your arrival at the airport, we'll be delighted to welcome you and ensure a seamless transfer to your accommodation in Marrakech.

After settling in, you'll have some free time to explore the enchanting surroundings at your leisure before retiring for the night.

Embark on an exhilarating adventure at 9 am as we depart from Marrakech. Our journey will lead us through the breathtaking landscapes of the High Atlas Mountains via the renowned Tizi-N-Tichka mountain pass.

We'll make stops for photos, allowing you to capture the beauty of the surroundings, and indulge in relaxing breaks for midday meal and coffee.

Our itinerary includes visits to notable sites such as the iconic Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou and the historic city of Ouarzazate, known as the "Film Capital of Morocco." Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of these remarkable destinations.

As the day draws to a close, we'll dine and unwind in the serene surroundings of a hotel nestled in Boumalne Dades gorge, where you'll spend the night enveloped in tranquility and natural beauty.

Upon our arrival at the majestic dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga, you'll be greeted by our friendly camels, ready to lead you on a captivating trek through the desert for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to our exclusive overnight desert base camp, for travelers who may prefer an alternative to camel rideking, we offer the option of traversing the desert dunes in a comfortable four-wheel drive vehicle instead.

As the sun begins to set, immerse yourself in the magical ambiance of the desert as we gather around a crackling base campfire for a delectable dinner under the starlit sky. Lose yourself in the rhythm of traditional desert tunes, adding an extra layer of enchantment to your evening.

With some free time to stargaze or simply bask in the tranquility of the desert, retreat to your private tent for a restful night's sleep, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Sahara.

Following morning meal, we'll embark on our return journey to Marrakech, where the scenic landscapes will accompany us along the way. As we approach the city, we'll ensure you're safely dropped off at your accommodation by the evening, allowing you ample free time to unwind and reflect on the unforgettable experiences of your adventure.
