Full description

Start your trip with a morning pickup from you hotel in Marrakech. Drive through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass of the High Atlas Mountains and enjoy the remarkable views. Pass by Berber villages and arrive in the desert to see a riverside oasis and barren hillsides clustered with kasbahs. Stop for lunch and then drive a little further to the Valley of the Roses. Stop in the fortified village Ait-Ben-Haddou before ending the day in Dades. Enjoy an over night stay in a guesthouse there. After breakfast, drive to the Todra Gorge and marvel at its depth. From here head out to the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Arriving at approximately 4:00 PM, take a short break before riding camels into the dunes. End your evening with a mesmerizing sunset and fantastic dinner before retiring into your Berber tent. Wake up early to see a beautiful sunrise and have breakfast at the campsite. Ride the camels to a Moroccan inn and catch your ride back to Marrakech. Relax on your drive back and revisit the gorgeous views of the Tizi n’Tichka Pass.

The excursion destinations were great and all the staff involved in the tour were great! But it was a little disorganized when we were going home, we weren't given a specific time we were to be picked up, but we had to hurry away from breakfast and still wait for over an hour for the right car. Would have liked it to be more organized and that we would have gone home earlier because the journey home was 12 hours (which was not stated when we booked the trip). The hotel in Dades was under all criticism, the room was freezing so steam came out of the mouth when you breathed. There was also a school class that partied and disturbed in the corridor half the night. But once again, great people among the staff everywhere!
