7:30 AM pickup from your Marrakech riad/hotel. Drive over the Tizi n’Tichka Pass through the High Atlas, with village photo stops. Visit the Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou (UNESCO World Heritage Site). Overnight at a 4-star hotel in the Dades Valley; dinner featuring regional Berber cuisine.

Morning visit to Todra Gorge, an easy walk along the canyon floor beneath 300-meter rock walls. Drive across the Tafilalt Palm Grove to the edge of the Sahara at Erg Chebbi. Late afternoon: mount your camel for a scenic trek into the dunes (a comfortable 4×4 dune-vehicle alternative is available on request). Arrive at the deluxe desert camp and settle into your private ensuite tent. Dinner under the stars with live Berber drumming. Optional this evening or the following morning: a guided quad biking excursion across the dunes with a certified local operator — helmets and a mandatory safety briefing included, small supervised groups only.

Optional early walk to a nearby dune to watch the sunrise over Erg Chebbi. Berber breakfast at camp, then return by camel or 4×4 to Merzouga village, where the tour concludes. Continue independently toward Fes, or add a return transfer to Marrakech (ask us about this option).
