Highlights

Marrakech-High Atlas Mountain-Ouarzazate-Dadès Valley

Dades Gorges - We start our 3 days from Marrakech to Merzouga by picking you up from the airport, hotel or riad of your choice. We will take breaks along the road to admire the breathtaking landscape that awaits us across the High Atlas Mountains. Additionally, we will cross the Tizi n Tichka, a mountain pass. Its highest point can reach up to 2260 meters, so buckle up.

Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, located less than 30 kilometers from Ouarzazate, will be our first destination. It is the most prestigious site in the south. The Kasbah is a typical southern house dating from the 17th century and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After exploring this village, we will travel to Ouarzazate, the Hollywood of Africa. The next stop is Kalaat Mgouna, also known as the Pink City, which is famous for its flowers and the annual beauty pageant stages. Night in Dades.

Valley of Dadès-Gorges du Dadès-Tinghir-Merzouga

Merzouga Desert - The second day of our 3 day trip from Marrakech to Merzouga. After breakfast, we set off on an adventure into the Todra gorges, where many climbers come to indulge in their favorite activity. After hiking through the Todra Gorge, we continue the journey along the ancient Bedouin trade routes that run along the Middle Atlas, passing a number of fortified communities with stunning pre-Saharan architecture.

The magnificent dunes of Merzouga mark the beginning of the enormous Sahara Desert. We leave our car and ride camels for an hour and a half through the desert to a Berber camp, where we watch the sunset and sleep in Berber tents by starlight. After dinner, we gather around the fire to enjoy the desert night while listening to traditional Berber drums.

Happy experience!!! - We had an amazing stay in Marrakech thanks to Hassan. He is an exceptional Guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about his city. He showed us beautiful places, often off the beaten track. His organization was impeccable and he knew how to adapt to our desires. I highly recommend its services for an authentic discovery of its Atlas region and desert, to recommend. Thank you again for this beautiful trip.

Trip of a Lifetime - My significant other and I took a 3 day private trip with Mohammed from Marrakesh to the Sahara and words cannot describe how perfect it was. Nearly the entire ride out to the desert is interesting and beautiful. Mohammed felt like family and made it so special. Getting this private tour was one of the best decisions we’ve made. 10/10.

Exceptional - exceptional ASSAN. Your competence was perceived as extremely professional. And what's more, we really appreciated all the little tips and advice. On arrival in Morocco we were warmly welcomed by ASSAN our tour guide, our names were mentioned on the board and we were made to feel welcome in such a friendly atmosphere, we had a fantastic start. Assan is someone very professional, very flexible and above all someone who has a lot of knowledge about history.

Great experience in the desert - An unforgettable experience, the excursion to the Morzouga desert. Everything very well organized, schedules, visits along the way to the desert. The people of the country who attended us were charming, always with a smile and no problems at all. The hired desert haima with bathroom was great. And our guide, Mohamed, a 10 for him. Just a suggestion...improve your Spanish haha It is my first experience with you but I will surely repeat

top truly an unforgettable stay - Unforgettable stay as a couple. Our guide Assan managed to give us an excellent experience, he created a tailor-made program for us! We managed to do a lot of things like: the valley of roses, the M'goun gorges, the Dades gorges, and the dunes of Merzouga. We experienced a stay like the locals thanks to Assan. Once again a big thank you to Hassan and his colleague Mohammed for these wonderful moments, and see you soon for another stay in another region of Morocco, which Assan promised to organize for us.
