We will then continue to the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many films have been shot here: The Mummy, Gladiator, 7 Days in Tibet, Alexander the Great, Babel etc.

We will then continue towards Ouarzazate through the implacable hamada (stony desert / erg), followed by a visit to Kasbah Taourirt and film studios. The journey then continues on to the Dades Valley, on the 1000 Kasbahs road through the fascinating town of Skoura, and then Kalaat M'Gouna, which is known for its roses. After arriving in Boumalne Dades, there will be dinner and an overnight stay.

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.

Night is spent under nomadic tents or Marabou between the dunes of Merzouga or in an air conditioned room.

Distance: 250 km

3rd Day: Merzouga — Rissani- Nqob- Tamnougalte- Ouarzazate- Marrakech

We will cross the most mysterious desert landscapes, dotted with oases, before continuing to Ouarzazate along the Draa valley. The incredible scenery, bordered by palm extends over a length of 200 km with fortified Ksour. The river continues in a thin stream of water, with a strange green in the middle pre-Sahara.
