5 days trip: Sahara adventure

Your guide will meet you at your riad in Marrakech and transport you to the Atlas Mountains, providing breathtaking views along the way. You'll have the opportunity to capture memorable moments amidst the scenic agricultural terraces and charming Berber villages. Around midday, you'll arrive in Ouarzazate for a lunch break. If you would like to, you can visit the film studios where a lot of famous Americans movies and series where shot. The 5-day desert tour will then proceed to Skoura Oasis, where you can explore the Amridil Kasbah. The day will conclude in Dades Valley, passing through the Roses Valley after an active day of exploration.

Following breakfast, participants will embark on a trek through the valley, eventually arriving at a canyon that promises an enriching experience lasting approximately two hours. Subsequently, the journey will proceed towards the Tinghir Oasis—an abundant, verdant haven adorned with deserted Kasbahs and Ksars. For those seeking more adventurous pursuits, an option to engage in rock climbing within the Todra Gorges is available before progressing to Merzouga, home to the towering sand dunes. Accommodations for the night will be either in a glamping tent or a desert guesthouse, contingent on the prevailing season.

Watching the sun rise amongst the dunes is a magical experience, and not to be missed. Your breakfast will be waiting for you upon your return, after which you will have the opportunity to visit the nomadic communities around Merzouga, stopping for tea in the souks, and enjoying the traditional Gnawa music. As the mid-day sun wanes, we will mount our camels and trek into the pink sands of the Moroccan Sahara; here, we will have ample free time for you to explore and take in the beauty and vastness of the desert dunes. Once the sun sets, a Moroccan dinner will be served alongside live music around the campfire, after which you are free to explore again - this time in the company of a million stars exploding against the pitch-black sky, and the all-encompassing silence of the Sahara at night.

At your request, our staff will wake you at the crack of dawn to witness the spectacle of the desert sunrise, the colour of the sand contrasting beautifully with the palette of shadows on the dunes. After some light breakfast and tea we will ride the camels back across the desert to the Kasbah to freshen up before our journey back West towards the Todra Gorge, known as "Morocco's Grand Canyon". We will have lunch here and amble along the valley to take in the view. From there, we continue on to Ouarzazate, a bustling southern city often referred to as "The Hollywood of Morocco" owing to the many famous films shot on location such as Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Kingdom of Heaven, as well as several seasons of the hit show, Game of Thrones. Here, we will explore the nearby Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, the most famous kasbah inMorocco, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the backdrop for many of the films and shows shot on location.
