After checking out of your accommodation you’ll join your driver for a long and scenic drive towards Merzouga, at the doors of the Sahara Desert. You’ll follow ancient caravan routes to the Sahara, where green oasis contrast with barren landscapes. Once you’ve arrived you’ll be met by local camels and a candlelit dinner. Spend the night enjoying a nomadic drum performance beside the campfire, and astounding stargazing.
Days 3–4
Overnight in Ouarzazate

Your drive will take you towards the majestic Dades and Todra Gorges, which are known for their excellent rock climbing. There may be time for a stop at the Rose Valley for a short walk. Here, roses bloom in May and local cooperatives use the extract in various products, helping to support their villages and communities.
CLA Film Studios visit
Take some time to visit the CLA film studios, where world famous directors such as Scorsese or Bertolucci filmed their movies set in the desert. You may even spot some of the locations used in your favourite films or television series.
Days 4–6
Sights and sounds of Marrakesh
With its rich atmosphere, fascinating history and Berber culture, the city of Marrakesh encapsulates what draws people from around the world to Morocco. Near one thousand-year-old red walls surround the historic medina, with monumental gates leading through to a warren of winding alleys.
