Your own journey.
A starting itinerary for your party, with the final route and arrangements confirmed before booking.
Day 01
Welcome to Marrakech
Meet your airport transfer and settle into your riad or hotel in the medina. Spend the rest of the day at your own pace, with time to explore the souks and Jemaa el-Fnaa square.
Day 02
Across the Atlas to the Sahara
Leave very early for a full day on the road through the High Atlas and Tizi n’Tichka pass. Stop for scenery around Ouarzazate and the Rose Valley, then continue through Tinghir and Erfoud to Merzouga. Ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes at sunset before dinner, music and stargazing at your desert camp.
Day 03
Desert sunrise and the road to Marrakech
Watch sunrise over the dunes and have breakfast at camp. Return to Merzouga by camel or 4x4, with the arrangement confirmed before booking, then begin the long drive back to Marrakech. Arrive in the evening and settle in for your final night.
Day 04
A little more Marrakech, then home
Have breakfast and enjoy free time for the medina or a last mint tea, depending on your flight schedule. Finish with your airport transfer.
