What sets this journey apart is the care behind every detail. We keep groups small and the pace relaxed, so you can soak in the silence of the dunes and share mint tea with our Berber crew without a crowd around you.
You'll cross Morocco's most dramatic landscapes in comfort: the Tizi n'Tichka pass, the UNESCO kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, the Todra Gorge and the palm groves of the Draa Valley. Our local drivers are experienced and proud of their home, sharing stories you won't find in a guidebook.
At Merzouga, you'll ride a camel into camp at sunset, sleep under a sky thick with stars, and wake for an unforgettable sunrise over the dunes. We finish in Fes, not back in Marrakech, so you cross the country end to end and never retrace your steps.
From your first pickup to your final drop-off, you're looked after by a team that does this every day and loves it.
