Itinerary · 5 days / 4 nights
Spend a night in the heart of the Sahara and ride camels the way Berbers have for thousands of years. Get lost in the markets of Marrakech and feel like a sultan.
DAY 1
Marrakech
Our team meets you at the airport and transfers you to the hotel. Free time for a first encounter with the city. Dinner not included. Overnight in Marrakech. You can arrive at any time.
Flexible arrival time: you can arrive at any hour.
DAY 2
High Atlas · Ait Ben Haddou · Dades
Breakfast. Departure toward the Sahara. We cross the High Atlas mountains (2,260m) with stops for panoramic views. We continue to the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a Berber fortress and UNESCO World Heritage site (filming location for Game of Thrones, Gladiator, Jesus of Nazareth). Lunch there, then onward along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to the Dades Valley. Dinner and overnight.
DAY 3
Todra · Merzouga · Erg Chebbi
Breakfast. We visit the Todra Gorges (over 300m high), one of the country's most imposing rocky canyons. Arrival in the desert, we change transport: camels — the way nomads have travelled for centuries. We stop to watch the sunset and you'll go sandboarding. Mint tea, traditional dinner, Berber music and a night under the stars at the camp.
Optional: desert activities such as buggies/razer or Jeep Land Rover (extra cost).
DAY 4
Erg Chebbi → Marrakech
Those who wish can rise early to watch sunrise on the dunes: an unforgettable spectacle of light and silence. Breakfast and return to Marrakech, arriving around 7:30 pm. Accommodation included (dinner not included). *The return from the desert to Marrakech can be done by flight with limited departures — ask our agent.
Optional: domestic flight from Errachidia to Marrakech to avoid the long road transfer (subject to availability with Ryanair or Royal Air Maroc). For those who prefer a shorter 4-day, 3-night itinerary, it's possible to take an international flight the same day from Marrakech from 10:00 PM, or from Errachidia with more flexible schedules.
DAY 5
Marrakech Medina
Breakfast. In the morning (9am-1pm) a guided tour of the city: the Koutoubia Minaret (sister of Seville's Giralda, beacon and spiritual centre of Marrakech), the Bahia Palace (16th century, a symbol of aristocratic life in the Muslim Middle Ages) and Jemaa el Fna Square (UNESCO World Heritage).
Note: if you have an early flight, we'll take you to the airport two hours before departure, at any time.
