Explore the natural beauty and cultural richness of southern Morocco on this 4-day journey from Marrakech to Ouarzazate. This tour is a perfect blend of mountain scenery, desert adventure, and historical exploration. You’ll travel through the majestic High Atlas Mountains, visit iconic kasbahs, and experience the vastness of the Sahara Desert with a sunset camel trek and a night in a Berber camp.

From there, continue to Merzouga, gateway to the Erg Chebbi dunes, where you’ll enjoy a camel ride and overnight stay under the stars.
The adventure continues with a scenic drive to Ouarzazate, often referred to as the “Hollywood of Morocco,” where you'll explore ancient fortresses and cinematic landscapes before returning to Marrakech.
