Our main destination is the legendary Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO-protected site. You’ll have ample time to explore its ancient, winding alleyways.

We then proceed towards the Sahara, passing through the fossil-rich town of Erfoud. As we approach Merzouga, the scenery transforms into the iconic golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.

After a full day of discovery, you’ll return to your hotel at the edge of the desert for dinner and a second relaxing night in Merzouga.
Day 4: Merzouga → Rissani → Alnif → Draa Valley → Agdz After breakfast, we bid farewell to the Sahara and begin our scenic return journey. Our first stop is Rissani, the ancient market town and cradle of the Alaouite dynasty. We then travel through a different, starkly beautiful landscape via Alnif and Tazarine. The highlight of the day is our journey alongside the magnificent Draa Valley, a spectacular ribbon of green palm groves stretching for miles and dotted with ancient kasbahs. We will end our day in the charming town of Agdz, situated at the edge of the valley, for a relaxing overnight stay.
