Our 4 Day Tour from Marrakech will begin at 8:40 am departing from your riad/hotel after breakfast. We will first pass thru Tizi-Ntichka in the Atlas Mountains admiring its many vistas, various landscapes, and traditional structures. We’ll have a rest stop at a beautiful panoramic view to take some photos then continue on our way to Ait Benhaddou Kasbah. It is a very cool ancient city built into a hilltop just past a river crossing and bridge. We’ll traverse thru it and up its steps to the top for another gorgeous panoramic view. There we’ll also see where several famous movies were filmed starring some Hollywood legends. After exploring the Kasbah we’ll enjoy a Berber style lunch at a nearby restaurant. Post lunch we’ll continue our journey to Ouarzazate, famous for its movie studios, which you may tour if you so choose.

In the morning after breakfast we’ll begin our 2nd day by heading East to the Sahara Desert. On our way we’ll stop at Tinghir (Todra Gorge) a pass between two mountains where water flows right thru the middle of the two. You’ll stroll thru the mountain pass along the water’s edge. You’ll notice why this city also became known for its palm trees, groves, and lush agriculture. Later we’ll arrive in the small city of Touroge to enjoy lunch and relax at a restaurant. After lunch we’ll move ahead on the final stretch to the infamous Sahara Desert. We’ll arrive at its edge in Merzouga where fun but gentle camels await to trek you across the desert dunes. The camels will bid you adieu at your luxury desert camp where you’ll have dinner and spend the evening around a fire enjoying live Berber music and participating if you choose. All this under a sky full of stars and an endless sea of desert dunes stretching as far as the eye can see will leave a lasting impression unlike any other.
