2 DAYS TOUR ITINERARY:

DAY 1: MARRAKECH – HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS – TOUDRA GORGE – MERZOUGA:

Around 8 am as agreed before. Our team will be waiting for you in the lobby of your hotel. They meet you there and pick you up to show you around some Southeast parts of our beautiful country. Crossing the highest road in Morocco, the Tizi N Ticha pass in the High Atlas mountains. We stopped through the way for outstanding pictures of the muddy Berber villages, landscapes, and nature. We will pass by Ouarzazate city, Rose Valley, where we may have lunch and Dades Valley.

     Then to Tinghir, the city Toudra Gorge is located. You visit the astonishing Canyons of Toudra Gorge, a place visited all year round by worldwide rock climbers for adventuring. You may be lucky to see them climbing during your visit. A place not far from where nomads still live in caves, they come with their animals “sheep, goats, donkeys” for water, and also take water with them for their home use.
     Next to Erfoud, a town famous for fossils, not to forget fresh dates from the large valley of Ziz crossing the town. After that, in an hour’s drive, you get to the beautiful Sahara desert of Merzouga, one of the most visited sites in Africa. 
    Your camel man awaits you next to the dunes to lift you by his camels to the desert camp. The camel ride takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes including an amazing stop for an incredible sunset at the top of a high dune in the middle of the desert. Your camel guide will take several memorable pictures for you along the ride.
    Arriving at the well-equipped camp, you will be welcomed with Moroccan tea and some cookies by the camp workers. In an hour, the working staff will serve you a delicious dinner, then they make a fire outside the camp under a sky full of stars, where they will be playing Berber and African music, while you enjoy and dance around the fire.
    Overnight at the camp.
