After breakfast, take a short walk to explore the Dades Gorges, famous for their striking rock formations known as the “Monkey Fingers.” Continue driving through the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs, lined with ancient fortified villages. Stop at Tinghir to visit the impressive Todra Gorges, where cliffs rise up to 300 metres high, and enjoy lunch nearby. In the afternoon, head towards the Saharan towns of Erfoud, known for its fossils, and Rissani, the former capital of Tafilalet. Arrive in Merzouga, the gateway to the Erg Chebbi dunes, and around 4:30 to 5:00 PM, embark on a camel ride into the desert to witness the sunset. Upon arrival at your Berber bivouac camp, enjoy a traditional dinner, campfire music, and stargazing in the peaceful silence of the Sahara before spending the night at the desert camp.

Wake up early to watch the sunrise over the dunes, a truly breathtaking experience. Afterwards, ride camels or take a 4x4 transfer back to the village of Merzouga. Enjoy breakfast and a shower at the camp or guesthouse before beginning the return journey. Drive through Erfoud and Alnif, crossing the scenic Anti-Atlas Mountains towards Ouarzazate. Stop for lunch in Ouarzazate or near the High Atlas, then continue along the winding Tizi n’Tichka Pass back to Marrakech, arriving around 8:00 PM depending on stops and traffic.
