Golden Dunes & Ancient Cities

The journey begins along a stunning mountain road crossing the Tizi n'Tichka Pass, the highest in Morocco. After a short pause to admire the views, the route continues toward Telouet Kasbah, where you explore its authentic courtyards, cobbled paths, and historic residences. From there, you head to the fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous filming location for movies such as Gladiator and Prince of Persia. After lunch, the drive continues toward the Valley of Roses, opening onto the scenic Dades Valley, often called the valley of a thousand kasbahs. The night is spent in a traditional accommodation in Dades.

After breakfast, departure toward Todra Gorge, where towering cliffs frame one of the most impressive natural sites in the region. The road then leads toward Merzouga, gateway to the dunes of Erg Chebbi, a vast sea of sand covering more than 100 km². In the afternoon, you set off on a camel ride of about an hour and a half, crossing the dunes as the sun slowly sets, painting the desert in deep golden tones. Dinner is served around the fire, followed by a magical night in a bivouac under the stars.

Early in the morning, the desert reveals one of its most beautiful moments with sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast at the camp, you ride camels back to the auberge and begin the journey north. The drive passes through the lush Ziz Valley, the Cedar Forest, and the alpine-style town of Ifrane, often referred to as the Little Switzerland of Morocco. Arrival in Fes is expected in the late afternoon, marking the end of the tour.
