Day 1: Casablanca – Tizi Ntichka Pass – Ouarzazate – Skoura – Valley of Roses – Dades Gorge
After picking you up from your hotel, riad or airport, we will depart for Ouarzazate. On the way we will cross the majestic Atlas Mountains through the magnificent Tizi n’Tichka Pass, which offers spectacular views at 2,260 metres above sea level.
After crossing the Atlas Mountains we will reach Ouarzazate, one of Morocco’s most impressive walled cities, which has served as the setting for films such as Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven.
We will then take the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to Skoura. Here we will stop to explore the Amridil Kasbah and then return to Kelaat M’Guna, a beautiful town in Tinghir province and the capital of the Rose Valley. At the end of the first day, we will travel to Dades Gorge, where we will stay in a beautiful kasbah with half board.
Day 2: Dades Gorge – Todga Gorge – Merzouga
After breakfast, we will head to the Dades Valley and cross the incredible Todga Gorge where we will have lunch.
Having refreshed, we continue our journey towards Merzouga, passing through the Jorf palm grove, known for its excellent dates, and Erfoud, where interesting fossil fragments can be found.
Upon arrival in Merzouga we will transfer to camels to dip into the desert and reach the Bedouin camp where we will spend the night and enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner.
Day 3: Merzouga – Rissani Alnif-Tazarin – Tizi N’Tfrhin – Kasba Ait Benhadu
We start the third day of our tour with the most magical: we watch the sunrise over the desert. After an early rise, we get back on the camels and head to the hotel where we shower and have breakfast (depending on the type of camp, it may be possible to have a shower and breakfast before riding the camels).
To return to Kasbah Ait Benhaddou we will choose a different route. After passing the palm grove of Tafilalet and the village of Rissani, the old capital and home of the founder of the Alawite dynasty, we will reach the town of Alnif. Here we meet the road that leads through the magnificent Anti-Atlas Mountains.
After admiring the spectacular colours and shapes of the mountains, we will reach Tizi N’tfarkhin, Tingira and a beautiful palm grove in the Dades valley. At noon we will stop at Klaat M’Guna for lunch and rest before continuing the route.
In the afternoon, we will cross the High Atlas Mountains and reach Ouarzazate, where we will spend the night in the riad, our Kasbah.
Day 4: Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou – Casablanca
After a delicious breakfast, you will have time to explore Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou and we will drop you off in Casablanca.
In the late afternoon, you will be taken to Casablanca.
