Marrakech – Berber Villages – High Atlas Mountains – Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou – Roses Valley – Dades Gorge :
Meeting you in your hotel or airport, then we take the road that gradually climbs towards the High Atlas: we leave behind the Haouz cultivated fields to enter the heart of Morocco. A series of impressive hairpin bends dug into the rock lead to the Tizi’n’Tichka pass, located at 2260 meters above sea level, where we will have the opportunity to observe one of the most evocative landscapes of the country. Visit the Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, one of the most amazing and well-preserved fortified cities in all of North Africa. The beauty of this place has attracted numerous film productions over the years. After lunch, we will the route where we will see how the landscape as you go through it is changing little by little, going from green valleys to red ocher zones. We will stop in Roses Valley, a town known for cultivating a unique species of rose with an extraordinary fragrance. Here we make a stop to take pictures, have a drink, or whatever you want. The route of the Kasbahs, in the south of the High Atlas, is a tour of some citadels built with crude earth (Mud) together with their walled towers and ornaments with geometric motifs. You should know that these Berber art monuments are unique in the world. They are located in a junction between the desert and the mountain, where the landscape is full of contrast between red and ochre colors, great luminosity, and silence. Then we continued towards the Dades Gorges that we will climb for a few kilometers to discover unique scenery, where the green of the vegetation and the ocher-colored rock are the protagonists. Dinner and a night in a nice riad
Dades Gorge – Dades Valley – Todra Gorge – Merzouga Desert Dunes
Breakfast in the riad. We leave Todra Gorge along the Kasbah Road, a path full of these superb Berber art monuments, unique in the world. Once you reach the other village of Tinghir, visit the spectacular Gorges of Todrà, whose high vertical walls give life to a unique landscape. We will leave at the agreed time to this wonderful natural area where they will be able to enjoy the fruit of the erosion of the Todra River for centuries, a canyon with vertical walls of more than 300 meters in height in some points. If you like to climb, welcome to your paradise. After entering the interior of the gorge, you will have lunch and leave for the road of the Kasbahs. The march will resume, and you will board the vehicle until you reach your destination, the Sahara Desert. Once in the place, you will have the opportunity to experience adventures in the desert, like going through the roads of Paris Dakar, seeing different wildlife, or washing your feet in nomadic wells until you end up in the dunes of Erg-Chebbi. In the afternoon, you will have a tour of the immense desert mounted on top of camels. When the day falls, they will settle in a Berber camp where they will live 100% of their customs, from a typical dinner, music, and dances in the light of the moon. That night, we will sleep in a desert camp
