The great Moroccan classic: three days from Marrakech to the Sahara. You cross the Tizi n'Tichka pass over the High Atlas, visit the Ait Ben Haddou kasbah (UNESCO site), the Todra gorges and the Dadès valley, then reach the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi: sunset camel ride and a night in a Berber desert camp under the stars.
Available as a shared tour (best price) or private with dedicated car and driver. The camp can be standard or luxury (private tent with bathroom). Return to Marrakech in the late afternoon of day three.
