Departure from Marrakech in the morning, crossing the spectacular High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass (2,260 m). Stop at Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage kasbah and filming location for movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones.

At sunset, enjoy a camel ride into the desert to reach the camp, where you’ll experience a traditional Berber dinner, live music, and an overnight stay under the stars in comfortable desert tents.
Wake up early to watch the sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes, one of the most magical moments of the trip. Return to camp for breakfast, then transfer to your hotel in Merzouga to rest.
