Ait Ben Haddou - Continuing south we arrive at the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, probably the most celebrated, filmed and photographed Kasbah in Morocco. Featured in numerous films (including Lawrence of Arabia, The Sheltering Sky and Gladiator), it is the best-preserved Kasbah in Morocco and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Todgha Gorge - We take the road to Merzouga through the Todra Gorge, a narrow corridor with sheer cliffs 300m (985ft) high rising up dramatically each side. These are the most impressive cliffs in southern Morocco and they are well known to experienced mountaineers. In Todra Valley you will have a panoramic view of the surrounding area containing old mud houses.
Merzouga Desert - Passing through villages like Tinjdad, Mallaab and Touroug we arrive in Merzouga in the late afternoon to be welcomed by your camel guide who will take you across the sand dunes to a Bedouin camp, where you will spend the night experiencing the immensity and silence of the desert.
