Overview

Four days gives the desert loop a relaxed rhythm. You still sleep among the Merzouga dunes, but the return follows a different road through the Draa Valley and Ouarzazate, so every day brings new scenery. Expect kasbahs, gorges, palm oases and a starry night that most travellers remember long after the trip.

Highlights

  • A loop route – different scenery on the way back
  • Ait Ben Haddou and the Tizi n'Tichka pass
  • Todra Gorge and Dades Valley
  • Camel trek and welcome music in the camp
