After breakfast, we’ll head south on a day full of contrasts and unforgettable landscapes. Our destination: Ait Ben Haddou and the Dadès Gorges .

We will cross the imposing Tizi-n-Tichka pass, at an altitude of 2,260 meters, traversing the High Atlas Mountains. Along the way, the rugged yet serene beauty of Morocco will unfold before our eyes: ochre mountains, Berber villages clinging to the rock, and a light that transforms every bend in the road into a picture postcard.

We’ll arrive at the legendary fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou , declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. Its adobe towers, silhouetted against the sky, have been the setting for many great films.

An intense, photogenic, and deeply inspiring day of travel.

Night in Rural Hotel. Accommodation and half board.

We set off towards the first tongues of the Sahara Desert , crossing the impressive Dadès Valley and traveling along the legendary Route of a Thousand Kasbahs , a journey dotted with Berber villages that seem suspended in time.

After about 45 kilometers, we’ll arrive in Tinghir , where we’ll pause to admire its extensive palm grove, a verdant oasis amidst the arid landscape. From there, we’ll continue to the majestic Todra Gorge , a natural spectacle that will offer us new photographic opportunities.

We’ll have lunch en route to Merzouga , and little by little, in the distance, we’ll begin to glimpse the golden silhouette of the Erg Chebbi dunes. Upon arrival, we’ll mount camels to venture into the heart of the desert. The sun will begin to set as we ride across the sand towards our Berber tent camp , where a magical night awaits us.

We will have the opportunity to photograph an unforgettable sunset and, for those who wish, sleep under a starry sky that seems within reach .

Overnight in Haima in the Sahara Desert, half board.

Before dawn, we’ll rise to climb to the top of one of the great dunes and silently witness one of the most magical moments of the trip: the sunrise over the desert . The golden light caressing the dunes is a spectacle that will be etched in your memory forever.

We will return by camel to the Erg Chebbi camp, still enveloped in that unique calm that can only be experienced in the Sahara.

A complete immersion into the soul of the Sahara… full of unforgettable images.

This valley, considered one of the most beautiful in southern Morocco, is a true oasis that winds between kasbahs, orchards and adobe villages, offering a last chance to capture the visual essence of southern Morocco.

Our route ends in Ouarzazate , the gateway to the desert and land of cinema, where we will spend the night remembering everything we experienced on this Saharan adventure.
