Gorge viewpoints and kasbah stops break the long transfer days before Erg Chebbi. An evening camel ride onto the dunes and a camp night are the desert highlight before return west. 📋 Key Details Duration: 4 days Activity: 4x4 touring and camel trekking Start: Marrakech hotel or riad Finish: Marrakech hotel or riad Group: Private, 1 to 52 guests 🎯 What to Expect Day one climbs Tizi n'Tichka with stops at Ait Benhaddou and Ouarzazate, then continues toward Dades for a guesthouse night in the valley. Day two walks Todra Gorges between towering walls and drives east to Merzouga town, where you sleep in a hotel before the dunes rather than arriving exhausted for the camel ride. Day three is the camel ride into Erg Chebbi camp for sunset, dinner and music under the stars. Day four brings sunrise on the sand, the ride back and the return via the Draa Valley and Atlas pass to Marrakech, usually by evening with kasbah photos and desert memories from a route spread across four full days. 📍 Location This is the classic southern loop with extra time for gorges and a rested arrival at the dunes rather than one long push east. Ait Benhaddou, Dades, Todra and Erg Chebbi are the headline stops on one of Morocco's best-known scenic roads. Tizi n'Tichka frames the journey on both legs, with High Atlas views that change with season from green slopes to snow patches. The Dades guesthouse night places you inside canyon country with time to walk beside the river before the Sahara leg. ✅ Prerequisites You should be comfortable with long travel days and optional flat gorge walks. The camel sections are gentle and led at a pace suitable for first-time riders. Share any altitude or motion concerns for Tizi n'Tichka when you enquire. Your driver adjusts stops and driving pace around the group, especially on winding pass sections. ⭐ Why Choose Us Spreading the route over four days means you enjoy Ait Benhaddou and Todra without arriving at camp exhausted. Sunset on Erg Chebbi feels like a reward rather than the end of an endurance drive. We organise Marrakech pickup, guesthouse nights, camp and return as one private trip with the same driver-guide. You keep one crew throughout, which makes flexible photo stops and gorge walks easy to arrange. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Pickup and drop-off at your Marrakech hotel Private vehicle and English-speaking driver-guide Meals as listed on the itinerary Camel ride into and out of camp 1 night in Dades, 1 night in camp and 1 hotel night on the return ### What’s not included Transport to Marrakech before pickup Drinks Tips for your guide and driver Travel insurance Entrance fees at kasbahs, gorges and museums Anything not listed as included ### Kit list Sun hat, sunglasses and sunscreen A warm layer for Dades and camp Closed shoes for sand and the gorge walk A scarf for sun and sand A small day bag for water and a camera ## FAQs ### Where do we meet?
