Itinerary

Marrakech to High Atlas to Aït Benhaddou to Ouarzazate to Skoura to Dades Gorges
The Marrakech to High Atlas to Aït Benhaddou to Ouarzazate to Skoura to Dades Gorges stage keeps the route moving at the planned pace. After pick-up from your hotel, we cross the High Atlas Mountains via the legendary Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 metres to reach the UNESCO-protected ksar of Aït Benhaddou, famous as a filming location for Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator and Game of Thrones. We continue to Ouarzazate to tour the local film studios and the Taourirt Kasbah. After lunch, we travel via Skoura along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to the Dades Valley for dinner and an overnight stay in a hotel or kasbah.
Dades Gorges to Todra Gorges to Erfoud to Merzouga Desert
This day follows the Dades Gorges to Todra Gorges to Erfoud to Merzouga Desert section of the itinerary. After breakfast we drive to the Todra Gorge, exploring its dramatic interior before heading back to the main road. Along the way we stop in Tinghir, Tinjdad and Erfoud — with a visit to the Marble Factory — then continue to Merzouga via Rissani, the ancient capital of the Tafilalt region and a former caravan hub. In Merzouga we meet the camel guide and ride into the Erg Chebbi sand dunes for sunset. We spend the night in a nomadic tent in the desert.
Merzouga to Agdz to Draa Valley to Atlas Mountains to Marrakech
The focus for this stage is Merzouga to Agdz to Draa Valley to Atlas Mountains to Marrakech. We rise early to catch the spectacular sunrise over the Sahara at Merzouga, then ride the camels back to the village. After breakfast, we drive towards Marrakech, stopping in Rissani, N'kob and Ouarzazate along the way, before arriving at your riad in Marrakech.
