Highlights

MARRAKECH - AIT BEN HADDOU

Tizi n Tichka - At 07:30, we will pick you up from your accommodation and begin our journey through the Atlas Mountains. Along the way, we will pass various Berber villages and make several stops to take in the panoramic views before reaching Tizi N Tichka, the highest road in Morocco. We will ascend to an altitude of 2260 meters before descending the arid side of the Atlas Mountains to arrive at the fortified Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou.

Ait Ben Haddou - A prime example of Berber earth clay architecture. We will explore the Kasbah with a local guide who will take us through the village and explain the architecture, culture, traditions, and religion of this unique UNESCO heritage site.

Ouarzazate - We will stop to see the Kasbah of Glaoui (Taourirt) and the cinema museum before continuing our journey to Dades Gorge, passing through the Valley of Roses. We will spend the night in a local guest house in Dades Gorge.

DADES GORGES - MERZOUGA

Todgha Gorge - Todgha Gorge is an impressive canyon in the eastern section of the High Atlas Mountains. We will stroll through the oasis to the mighty Todra Gorge, enjoy a walk through the ruined villages, and visit a handicraft association of Berber women. The idea is to stay with the locals and learn about their incredible daily activities. We will then have lunch at a local restaurant.

Merzouga Desert - We will drive towards the large dunes of Merzouga, arriving before sunset. Meet your camel caravan for a 40-minute ride to the dunes of Merzouga at sunset. We will spend the night under a Berber tent, have dinner, and enjoy traditional music from local nomads under the stars before retiring for the night.

MERZOUGA - MARRAKECH

Marrakech - Early in the morning, we will experience unforgettable moments watching a magical sunrise from the top of the largest dunes of the Great Sahara. After breakfast at the camp, you can return either by camel or 4x4. We will then head back to Marrakech, passing through the Atlas Mountains, and arrive in the evening.

Journey of a lifetime! - Eco Morocco Travel thank you so so sweetly for guiding this most incredible experience 🌄 🐫 🌙 Sitting atop the dunes under the moon and the wildest blanket of starry deep blues was one of the most surreal experiences of my life 💫 Camel rides, journeys through the canyons and mountains, staying in a traditional BerBere guesthouse, leering about the crafts and migrations of the people and their artistic exports. Wild views, and belly laughs around the dinner table. Chatting culture, community, and commonality. I felt so safe, grounded, supported and surprisingly calm through all of the activities and landscapes. Dani and Sara provide an incredibly authentic experience loaded with miraculous scenery and it is so graciously spaced out so you may have time to enjoy for yourself and integrate as needed. For every most mindful and ecological step of this journey with you guys..thank you thank you. What a privilege to walk in a good way with you all. Sustainable can be spectacular. If you find yourself on this side of the planet and crave an authentic experience... @ecomoroccotravel is your guide family. Leaving not only with dreamy memories, but new friends I hope I will see again and again. Big love & much gratitude.
