Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Ouarzazate, known as the “Gateway to the Sahara.” As you leave the city behind, you’ll embark on a scenic drive through the rugged landscapes of the Atlas Mountains. Along the way, you’ll pass through charming Berber villages, lush oases, and ancient kasbahs, each offering a glimpse into Morocco’s rich cultural heritage.

One of the highlights of the journey is a visit to the iconic Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Morocco’s most well-preserved kasbahs. Explore the labyrinthine streets of this ancient fortress, which has served as the backdrop for numerous films and television shows.

Continuing your journey, you’ll traverse the stunning landscapes of the Draa Valley, with its verdant palm groves and meandering river. As you approach Merzouga, the landscape gradually transforms into the golden sand dunes of the Sahara Desert, creating a mesmerizing backdrop for your adventure.

Upon arrival in Merzouga, you’ll be greeted by the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi, which stretch as far as the eye can see. Check into your desert camp and take some time to relax amidst the serene beauty of the desert. In the evening, enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner under the stars, accompanied by the rhythmic beats of Berber music.
