About this trip
Five days from Marrakech to the Sahara and back, following the old caravan route traders used for centuries. It's a short, punchy way to see how much the landscape changes once you leave the city — mountains, kasbahs, then open desert.
You'll cross the High Atlas (over 2260m) and travel the Road of 1000 Kasbahs before swapping vehicles for camels for the final stretch into the dunes, where you camp overnight and watch the sunset settle over the sand.
Built as a budget-friendly group tour for younger travellers, with shared rooms and a fully guided, moderate pace throughout.
