About this trip
Three days from Marrakech to the Sahara and back, taking in the High Atlas Mountains, an old kasbah, and a night camel-riding out to a desert camp.
You'll cross the Tizi n'Tichka pass, stop at Aït Ben Haddou (used as a film set for various Hollywood productions), and pass through the Dades Gorge before reaching the dunes near Merzouga.
It's a short, focused route rather than a deep dive into any one place, aimed at giving you a taste of the mountains and the desert in a long weekend.

- Visit the Aït Ben Haddou Kasbah
- See the canyon walls of the Dades Gorge
- Ride a camel out into the Sahara dunes
