Our best-selling route
The trip most of our travellers choose, shown with photos taken on our own tours. Private or small group, with hotel pickup in Marrakech.
Cross the Tizi n’Tichka pass at over 2,200 m, explore the UNESCO-listed kasbah of Aït Benhaddou, then continue via Ouarzazate to the Dades Valley for the night.
Walk between the towering walls of Todra Gorge, reach Merzouga in the afternoon and ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes for sunset and a night in a Berber camp.
Wake up for sunrise over the Sahara, enjoy breakfast at the camp, then take the scenic drive back to Marrakech (about 9–10 hours with stops).
A night in the Sahara
After the camel trek you reach our camp in the dunes of Merzouga — a simple, warm welcome, dinner together and a sky full of stars. The moment most travellers remember.
