Begin your 3-day Sahara Desert adventure with a scenic drive across the majestic High Atlas Mountains, passing traditional Berber villages and taking in breathtaking mountain vistas.

Stop at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Aït Ben Haddou, a historic fortified village renowned for its ancient kasbahs and as a backdrop for famous Hollywood films. After enjoying a delicious local lunch, continue your journey to Ouarzazate, often called the “Gateway to the Sahara,” where you can experience its unique cinematic charm and historic architecture.

Travel along the Draa River to Tansikht, discovering lush palm groves and centuries-old Kasbahs along the way. This region was once part of an ancient caravan trade route, connecting South Africa’s gold to sugar and salt markets before reaching the golden sands of Merzouga.

End your day with a traditional Moroccan dinner and a relaxing night at a desert lodge at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, preparing for the thrilling desert adventures that await.
