Day 1: Marrakech → High Atlas → Ait Ben Haddou → Ouarzazate → Draa Valley → Merzouga

Your adventure begins with an early departure from Marrakech, crossing the breathtaking Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m) in the High Atlas Mountains. The winding roads offer stunning views of Berber villages and rugged landscapes.

Your first major stop is the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou, a famous Ksar (fortified village) used in films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. After exploring its ancient alleys, you’ll enjoy lunch in Ouarzazate, known as Morocco’s “Hollywood,” with an optional visit to the Atlas Film Studios.

The journey continues through the lush Draa Valley, filled with palm groves and traditional kasbahs. By late afternoon, you’ll reach Merzouga, where you’ll switch to camels for a magical sunset ride into the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. The night is spent in a luxury desert camp, where you’ll savor a delicious Berber dinner, enjoy live music around a campfire, and gaze at the star-filled Sahara sky.

Day 2: Merzouga → Rissani → Draa Valley → Marrakech

Wake up early to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes. You can choose another camel ride or a short 4×4 drive before returning to the camp for breakfast. After packing up, you’ll visit Rissani, a historic town known for its lively traditional market and as the birthplace of Morocco’s Alaouite dynasty.

From here, you’ll begin the long but scenic drive back to Marrakech, passing once more through the Draa Valley and High Atlas Mountains. You’ll arrive in Marrakech by evening (around 7–8 PM), filled with unforgettable memories of the desert.
