Day One (Marrakech -> Tinjdad, Jerf, and Erfoud (across the High Atlas Mountains) -> Merzouga)

The trip will start early in the morning when we pick you up from where you are staying in Marrakech. This way, we can have enough time to make as many stops as possible. 

Our first destination includes Tinjdad, Jerf, and Erfoud, where the Saharan oasis of Tafilalet begins. In the same region, we will stop to have Madfouna (a Moroccan traditional meal) for lunch. Along the way, we will be crossing the panoramic views of Tizi n Tichka pass to the High Atlas villages.

Around sunset time, we’ll arrive in Merzouga to find camels waiting for us to take us on a tour of the golden dunes. Then, we’ll have dinner, party around campfires, and spend the night in nomad-tented camps under a sky of millions of stars.

Day Two (Merzouga -> Ait Benhaddou -> Ouarzazate -> Marrakech)

After breakfast, we’ll head to Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ait Benhaddou has served as the scene for several worldwide films like Gladiator and many TV series such as Game of Thrones.

After lunch at a nearby restaurant, we will continue to Ouarzazate, Africa’s Hollywood, where we will visit the studios where many international movies were shot. Then, we will end the trip by going back to Marrakech.
