Day 03

Merzouga

Continue your journey and embark on a scenic journey to Merzouga, traveling through the stunning landscapes of Boumalne Dades, the fragrant Rose Valley, and the dramatic cliffs of Todra Gorge. Pass through the historic town of Rissani before arriving at the edge of the Sahara. Here, switch to camelback and ride into the golden dunes as the sun sets, arriving at your desert camp under a blanket of stars.

Day 05

Zagora

Wind through the stunning Draa Valley, where endless palm groves and crumbling kasbahs trace the route of the life-giving river. As the landscape shifts from oasis to desert, arrive in Zagora—a quiet town where the Sahara’s golden dunes first emerge on the horizon.

Day 07

Marrakech

After breakfast, begin your journey back to Marrakech through ever-changing landscapes. Watch as the Sahara's golden hues gradually give way to the High Atlas Mountains' rugged peaks.

Day 02

Ourzazate

After breakfast, journey to Ouarzazate, gateway to the Sahara. Your first stop: the legendary Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar where Gladiator and Game of Thrones were filmed. Climb through its ancient clay alleys for panoramic views.

Next, step into Atlas Film Studios—Africa’s Hollywood—to see desert landscapes transformed into movie sets. Then, explore two iconic kasbahs, Taourit and Amridil.

Day 04

Merzouga

Savour the Sahara’s morning magic—sunrise on the dunes or a peaceful camp breakfast. Later, choose between a camel ride through golden waves of sand or a 4x4 adventure to hidden desert spots. End with tea at a nomad’s tent as the sun dips low.​
