Breakfast will be provided the next morning before the journey continues.

After breakfast, journey through Todra Gorges, Tinjdad, Jorf, and Erfoud, passing stunning Berber villages and oases before arriving in Merzouga.

At the desert camp, enjoy sandboarding, a traditional Berber dinner, and drumming music under a starry sky. Spend the night in a cozy nomadic tent, experiencing the serenity of the Sahara.

Wake up early to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the dunes, then ride your camel back to Merzouga. After breakfast and a refreshing shower at the camp, we begin our return journey to Marrakech, passing through diverse Berber villages and stunning landscapes.
