After lunch in Midelt, we continue toward Merzouga with scenic stops along palm groves and mountain views. In Merzouga, enjoy mint tea at a kasbah before your one-hour camel ride into the dunes at sunset.
Arrive at the desert camp for dinner, campfire music, and a night under the stars in a private Berber tent.

After breakfast, depart via the legendary Road of a Thousand Kasbahs. Stop at the Todra Gorge for a walk between the cliffs, then continue through Dades Valley with its dramatic rock formations.
You’ll arrive in either Dades or Ouarzazate by late afternoon. Dinner and overnight stay at a traditional guesthouse or hotel.
Day 3: Ouarzazate – Ait Ben Haddou – Marrakech
After breakfast, visit Ouarzazate’s highlights: the Kasbah of Taourirt and the famous Atlas Studios. Then travel to the Fint Oasis before continuing to Ait Ben Haddou for lunch and a guided visit of the UNESCO site featured in Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia.
