Escape Marrakech and journey deep into the Moroccan south in just 4 days. Cross the High Atlas Mountains via the spectacular Tizi n’Tichka Pass, visit the UNESCO-listed Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, and travel through the Valley of Roses to the beautiful Dades Valley.

Continue to the dramatic Todra Gorges, discover Berber craftsmanship at a local rug cooperative, then head to the Sahara for a camel trek into the dunes. Enjoy a breathtaking sunset from the top of the sand dunes, followed by dinner, drumming around the campfire, and a magical night under the stars in a desert camp.

Wake up early for sunrise over Erg Chebbi, then drive through Tazarine, the Draa Valley, and Agdez on the old caravan route to Ouarzazate. On the final day, explore “Hollywood of Africa” with the option to visit famous film studios before returning to Marrakech.
