Day One

Marrakech → High Atlas → Merzouga

Depart Marrakech and journey through the High Atlas Mountains, passing kasbahs, valleys, and desert landscapes as the scenery gradually shifts toward the Sahara.

Arrive near the dunes of Merzouga in the late afternoon, with time to settle into your desert surroundings. A camel ride at sunset or sunrise can be arranged for those wishing to experience the dunes in a traditional way.

Enjoy a warm Moroccan welcome, followed by dinner beneath a vast, star-filled sky.

Day Two

Desert Landscapes & Nomadic Traditions

Wake to the quiet of the desert and enjoy a relaxed morning before exploring the surrounding dunes by 4×4.

Spend the day discovering nomadic communities, learning about desert life, and experiencing the vastness of the Sahara. A visit to Khamlia offers the chance to hear traditional Gnawa music.

Return to your accommodation for dinner and a peaceful evening.
