Your journey begins with a morning departure from Ouarzazate towards the breathtaking Dades and Todra gorges. Along the way, we stop at the oasis of Skoura to visit the historic kasbah Amridil, a well-preserved fortress that offers a glimpse into Morocco’s rich heritage. Continuing our route, we pass through Kelaa M’gouna, known as the valley of roses, where we take a break for coffee and enjoy the stunning scenery. From there, we venture off-road along the route of a thousand kasbahs, immersing ourselves in the charm of ancient fortresses and picturesque landscapes. We arrive at Dades gorge in time for lunch, followed by a leisurely walk along the fig and Dades rivers, offering spectacular views of the dramatic rock formations. In the afternoon, we continue to the Todra gorge, where you will spend the night in a charming guesthouse.

After breakfast, take a leisurely walk through the Todra Gorges and the lush Tinghir palm grove, immersing yourself in the tranquil surroundings. We then journey towards the dunes of Merzouga, passing through the breathtaking Ziz and Tafilalet Valleys. Along the way, we stop in Erfoud for lunch before continuing our adventure. Upon arrival in Merzouga in the afternoon, embark on a camel ride across the golden sands, leading up to the towering Erg Chebbi dunes (250m). From the summit, take in a breathtaking sunset over the vast Sahara Desert, a truly unforgettable experience. As night falls, settle into a luxury desert camp, where you’ll enjoy a magical evening under a starlit sky, savoring a traditional dinner accompanied by live Berber music around the campfire.

If you wake up early, you’ll have the chance to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes, where the shifting colors and shadows create a mesmerizing spectacle. After breakfast, we depart from Merzouga and journey towards Zagora, passing through the villages of Rissani, Alnif, Tazzarine, and N’kob, where we stop for lunch. In the afternoon, we continue along the scenic Draa valley, lined with ancient kasbahs and traditional Berber villages. From time to time, off-road detours allow for a closer look at local village life. The night is spent in a charming riad in Zagora.

After breakfast, we head south to Tamegroute, famous for its traditional pottery, particularly the renowned green glaze. The town is home to a small medina of covered desert streets and an ancient Quranic library, which houses exquisite hand-written Arabic texts. On our return to Ouarzazate, we take an off-road route, offering a closer look at the ancient caravan route, which winds alongside the Draa River. We stop for lunch in Tamenougalte, where the oldest Kasbah in the valley stands. In the afternoon, we continue our journey back to Ouarzazate, crossing the Anti-Atlas and passing through the stunning Tizi-n-Tinfifite pass (1660m), offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes.
