2nd Day: Boumalen Dadès – Tinghir -Todra Gorge- Arfoud- Merzouga Dunes

Morning departure to Merzouga dunes. After Tinghir, we will visit the groves and then foray into the Todra Gorge. The limestone cliffs seem like an opening carved through the Todra assif, which has spectacular peaks diving to the bed of the river.

The peaks rise up to 300m above the Todra which meanders from its source in the High Atlas mountains. Walk freely through the gorges and palm groves. After lunch, we will continue to the palm groves of Tinjedad, Touroug and Erfoud.

The tour will then continue to Merzouga where you will enjoy a camel ride through the fascinating dunes of Erg Chebbi, from which you can observe the sunset. Sand dunes are moving sculptures in the form of draperies whose colors vary according to the intensity of the light. They stand as living walls next to the desert. The highest reaching 150 m.
