A closer look at the route
Morocco's classic overland journey: from the snow-dusted High Atlas to the vast orange dunes of Merzouga, by way of the Valley of Roses, the Skoura palm grove, the dramatic Dadès and Todra Gorges, and mudbrick ksour villages that look unchanged in a century. It's the fastest way to see the full range of Morocco's landscapes in a single trip.
Tours run 3 to 10 days, mixing short treks with private transport between stages — roughly 4–6 hours of activity a day. Every route ends the same way: a camel ride into the Erg Chebbi dunes as the sky turns orange, dinner around the fire, and a night's sleep under a sky thick with stars at our desert camp.
High Atlas & Valley of Roses
Cross the High Atlas via Tichka Pass. Valley of Roses: rose gardens, kasbahs and local cooperatives. Overnight in gîte.
Dadès & Todra Gorges
Trek through the dramatic red walls of the Dadès and Todra Gorges, and walk through the Tinghir palm grove. Overnight in gîtes.
Desert of Merzouga
Drive to Erg Chebbi. Camel ride at sunset into the dunes, traditional dinner at fire and overnight at the desert camp under a sky full of stars.
Drâa Valley & return (extended tour)
Optional extension through the Drâa Valley palm groves, Zagora and the ksour of the Drâa — then return to Ouarzazate or Marrakech.
