7 days · 6 nights · from Marrakech to Marrakech
Airport → Marrakech
Pickup at Marrakech Menara airport at your flight's arrival time and transfer to a riad in the city center. Depending on when you land, there is time for a first look at Djemaa el Fna square and the streets around it, which come alive mostly in the late afternoon, when the food stalls go up and the musicians arrive.
Overnight: riad in the center · Marrakech
Marrakech → Tizi n'Tichka · Ouarzazate → Dades Gorges
Departure into the High Atlas over the Tizi n'Tichka pass, at 2,260 m (7,415 ft), past Berber villages and farms. On the other side lies Ouarzazate, the film capital of Morocco, where Asterix & Obelix, Babel, Sahara and Gladiator were shot. Then the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, through quiet mountains where Berber nomads live, all the way to the Dades Gorges.

Dades → Tinghir · Todra · Erfoud → Merzouga
Morning departure for Tinghir and the Todra Gorges, 15 km (9 miles) from town, with a lunch stop right there. In the afternoon, the palm groves of Tinjdad and Touroug on the way to Erfoud, where you'll visit a workshop that cuts fossil marble. Arrival at the Erg Chebbi dunes, near Merzouga, where you swap the car for camels for a ride out to watch the sunset.
