Highlights

Marrakech - High Atas - Kasbah Ait ben haddou - Ouarzazate - Rose valley - Dades Gorge

Ait Ben Haddou - Located in the foothills on the southern slopes of the High Atlas in the Province of Ouarzazate, the site of Ait-Ben-Haddou is the most famous ksar in the Ounila Valley. It is a striking example of southern Moroccan architecture. It is the most famous ksar in the area – and possibly in all of Morocco – thanks to its appearance in several film productions.

Ouarzazate - Ouarzazate is a city south of Morocco’s High Atlas mountains, known as a gateway to the Sahara Desert. Its huge Taourirt Kasbah, home to a 19th-century palace, has views over the rugged local landscape, which features in several movies.

Vallee Des Roses - The Valley of the Roses is located in the South-East of Morocco at the foot of the High Atlas between El Kelaa des M’Gouna and Boulmane du Dades. This famous Valley owes its name to the hedges of roses used to protect cultivated fields (cereals, barley, corn, potatoes). The roses, whose scent invades the Valley everywhere in May a few days before they are picked, produce flowers that are harvested in the atmosphere of an annual tourist moussem. Extraction of the essence of the rose is done for major perfume companies and rose water is supposedly a miracle remedy for allergies of the eyes.

Dades Gorges - Sitting against the Central Atlas, the Dadès Gorge is a dramatic landscape: ancient rust-red and mauve mountains stripped back to zigzagging layers of strata and knobbly rock formations. A rush of springtime water puddles in the valley where irrigation channels siphon it off to fields of wheat and orchards of fig, almond and olive trees. Travelers will spend overnight here

Dades Gorge - Todra Gorge - Tinejdad - Erfoud - Merzouga

Gargantas del Todra - Todra Gorge is a natural oasis created by the River Todra carving its way through limestone for many centuries. The gorge looks almost prehistoric with canyon walls that reach over 400 meters in height. Todra Gorge is a paradise for photography enthusiasts, climbers, bikers and hikers.

Merzouga - The spectacular dunes of Merzouga are the gateway to the desert. We will take a camel ride of about an hour from here to our camp in Erg Chebbie (a sea of dunes). We’ll see the sunset over the desert before dinner, and also enjoy sand boarding on the dunes. We will then entertain you with authentic Berber music around an open fire. To finish, we will sleep in Berber tents or under the stars where you are likely to see many shooting stars across the galaxy.

Merzouga -Rissani - Ouarzazate -Marrakech

Rissani - We will pass through Rissani on the way back to Marrakech

Ouarzazate - We will stop for lunch in Ouarzazate

Marrakech - We will drop you at Jamma El Fna square.

Amazing! - An amazing adventure! Lahcen was a guide and organizer of 10, just the days where heavy rains complicated the infrastructure to go to the desert, but thanks to his good attitude and proactivity we managed to reach the desert, and it was spectacular. It left us complete flexibility given the conditions, it was very helpful. Without a doubt, it was thanks to him that we were able to live a unique experience in the desert. We highly recommend booking this experience with him.

Go on this tour without hesitation, the best! - Unbeatable tour with lachen! Unforgettable experience that lachen and his colleagues make it even more special. Lahcen knows everything about Morocco, always makes you feel safe, takes care of you and also worries about issues that exceed hiring the service just to help you. Micros in excellent condition, with air, food always abound. I highly recommend it!

Amazing - Lahcen and his nephew oumama gave us a magical experience. They are passionate and enthusiastic telling us about the lives of the people and history of the area. The trip to the desert was incredible and something I will always remember , with extra touches such as visiting his mum , sand boarding , and we had a great time around the fire in the evening with traditional music and dancing. Stargazing , great food and such lovely company . They kept us laughing, singing and feel we saw the real Morocco - make sure you book with this company, it is his company and he really cares that you have a good time. Thankyou

AN HONORS TUITION GUIDE - The best tour in Morocco!! Lahcen has been a fantastic guide, from the beginning helping us in everything and adapting the excursions to our itinerary. If you want a quiet trip hire his services, he takes care of absolutely everything (transports, pickups, hotels, printing boarding passes, free tour, excursion to the desert...) and always worries about you being okay. All this and at an INCREDIBLE price! I will definitely repeat and recommend your services. It's been a journey of honor

3 amazing days - Amazing and unforgettable experience! The place seems unreal, beautiful landscapes and very friendly people. The weather, despite being summer, can hold well, I recommend very light clothes. Lahcen, a very warm, funny, respectful and proactive man. It made us feel safe from minute 0. Like the other tour workers, very nice and enriching to share with them. I recommend this experience!
