Day 1: Ouarzazate – Skoura – Todra gorges – Erfoud – Merzouga
A fascinating two-day tour from Ouarzazate that included an unforgettable evening spent amidst the golden dunes. Set out from your hotel at 8 a.m. in the direction of Erfoud. We will visit the Amridil Kasbah in the enthralling Skoura palm grove before traveling the remaining 40 km to Kelaa M’Gouna, where the colors have already changed to a mix of greenery, roses, and gardens. We proceed to Tinghir via the Dades Valley and then travel to the Todra Gorges for lunch. The restaurant is located in the middle of the canyons, 300 meters above the ground. For those who are interested in trekking, there is an hour-long hike available inside the valley. We depart for Erfoud in the afternoon, traveling through Tinjdad, which has an antiquated subterranean irrigation system. En route, we will pass fossil sites and locations where Merzouga extracts them, before arriving at the Erg Chebbi dunes. After another fifteen minutes, we ride camels directly to the oasis where our camp is situated, where we will have dinner, sleep under a nomadic tent, and spend the night.
Day 2: Merzouga – Rissani – Tazzarine – Agdez – Ouarzazate
The camel driver will wake you up early to help with sunrise duties. After breakfast, you will ride back on camels to the hotel to meet your driver, take a shower, and depart for Rissani, where you can explore the town’s tourist attractions, such as the traditional market and Moulay Ali Cherif’s mausoleum.
