Itinerary

DAY 1 - Marrakech – Ouzoud waterfalls – Ait Bougmez Valley

On our 5 days tour from Marrakech, our guide will pick you up at your Riad or hotel at 8 a.m. and drive you to Morocco’s most spectacular waterfalls. We have a good chance of seeing the Barbary Apes as we walk down beside the pools. The path leads to the bottom of the falls, where you can see the 300-meter drop. We continue to Azilal town for lunch before taking the scenic mountain road with numerous photo opportunities. We arrive in the breathtaking Ait Bougmez valley, with its patchwork of cultivated fields and traditional Berber houses surrounded by breathtaking mountains. A night will be in a hotel.

DAY 2 - Ait Bougmez – Tizi N Ait Imi – Kelaat M’Gouna – Dades Valley

Following breakfast on a sunny terrace with a lovely view, we will go for a short walk in the fields before heading off the road to the panoramic Tizi N Ait Imi 2910M pass. The road leads us down to M’Gouna Valley and then up to Tizi N Ait Hamed at 3050 meters. We travel through many villages to reach the Rose Valley, which blooms in April and May. Our day comes to an end in the Dades Valley about an hour later.

DAY 3 - Dades Valley – Todra Gorges – Merzouga Dunes

We drive from Dades Valley to Todra Gorges, a popular rock-climbing destination, and take a walk through the fields and gorges before continuing to Erg Chebbi, passing through the arid landscapes and volcanic mountains of the Anti-Atlas. Then we will make our way to the Erg Chebbi dunes. We begin an hour of camel riding toward our camp in the middle of the dunes. Overnight stay in a Berber camp

DAY 4 - Merzouga Dunes – Alnif – Draa Valley

We get up early to see the sunrise over the dunes. Then we will ride the camels to where our driver is waiting. Our journey begins in Rissani (the birthplace of the Alaouite dynasty and the ancient capital of the Alaouite Sultans) and leads to the vast palm of Tafilalet. Continue to the correct location for Alnif’s lunch. We will continue the road through Tazzarine, N’Koub, and Tansikhte; from here, we will take a short detour off the road that runs alongside the palm trees of Draa Valley, giving you another chance to see the Ksours and Kasbahs. Overnight will be in a Kasbah with a breathtaking view of palm trees.

DAY 5 - Draa Valley – Ait Ben Haddou – Tizi N’Ticheka – Marrakech

After breakfast, we begin our journey through the Atlas Mountains towards Ouarzazate, pausing to visit the film studios. We continue to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
