THE ROUTE

4 days, well spent.

DAY
01

Over the Tizi n’Tichka

Leave Marrakech behind as the High Atlas opens around you. Pause for mint tea and wander the lanes of Aït Benhaddou before settling in for the night.

DAY
02

Valleys, kasbahs & the long road east

Follow the old caravan route through rose country and the Dades Valley, with time for a short walk among the sculpted cliffs.

DAY
03

A night in the dunes

Reach Merzouga in the afternoon. Set out across the dunes at golden hour, then share dinner and a sky full of stars at camp.

DAY
04

Sunrise over Erg Chebbi

Watch the light move across the sand before breakfast and the return journey. Add a night in Ouarzazate to make the drive gentler.
