Later, your journey continues towards Merzouga, passing through traditional Berber villages and the town of Erfoud. Upon reaching the Sahara’s edge, your camels await to guide you on an unforgettable trek across the magnificent Erg Chebbi sand dunes. As dusk settles, arrive at your traditional Berber desert camp.

Begin your scenic journey back to Marrakech via a different route, traversing the expansive Draa Valley. Pass through charming towns like Rissani, Alnif, Tazarine, and N’kob, reaching the verdant oasis town of Agdz. Pause for lunch at a picturesque spot along the way. The route then leads towards Ouarzazate before ascending once more over the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass.
