"3 days, 3 completely different landscapes"

"High Atlas snow peaks on day 1, Todra Gorge canyon walls on day 2 and the Sahara dunes on day 3. Morocco is the most visually diverse country I've visited."

"Dades winding road at sunrise"

"We left the Dades guesthouse at 6am and drove up the famous curved road in complete silence with mist in the gorge below. One of the most beautiful 10 minutes of my life."

Frequently Asked Questions

You choose! The default is to return to Marrakech on day 3. But you can end in Fes instead (3 hours north of Merzouga) for the same price — ideal for those flying out of Fes or continuing to Chefchaouen and Tangier.

Yes — our 4-day version from Marrakech includes 2 nights in the Sahara, giving you a full activity day in the dunes (sandboarding, 4×4, nomad village visit). Highly recommended if you have the time.
