Sample Desert Itineraries
Depart from Marrakech around 8.30 am. Overnight at a unique guest house in Dades Gorge. The drive is about 6 hours plus stops via the High Atlas Mountains and over the Tiz n’Tichka pass, the stunning Ounila Valley and the Kasbah of Telouet, the UNESCO heritage site of Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou the administrative town of Ouarzazate, (which houses a couple of film studios) the oasis of Skoura and its well preserved Kasbah Amridil. The highlights of this day are the wonderful views of the High Atlas and the Berber Villages in the Ounila Valley with their ancient kasbahs dotted around the palm laden oases. There are endless photo opportunities and you may stop wherever you are inspired. The Glaoui (who was known as Lord of the Atlas) inspired Kasbah of Telouet features highly intricate and crafted tile and zeillij work. The adjacent café serves a very tasty fig tajine. After Telouet and more stunning scenery you reach Ait Ben Haddou, which is one of the best preserved examples of Moroccan earthen clay architecture. Situated on the original caravan route between Marrakech and the Sahara, the Kasbah still houses several families and has been utilised regularly for a procession of epic movies. After passing the administrative town of Ouarzazate, you enter the oasis town of Skoura and Kasbah Amridil, one of the best preserved kasbahs in Morocco, which also features a living museum showcasing traditional Moroccan life. Dades Gorge has some amazing rock formations, of which the Monkey Paw is the most impressive. The switch back route zigzagging through the gorge is a very impressive sight to end the day. You can also choose to take a remote route from Kelaa Mgoun to Dades via Bou Tharrar, which includes about 1 hour of rugged off road driving through stark mountain scenery. You should also encounter nomads going about their traditional way of life. The guest house in Dades Gorge is gorgeous, with a stunning location, stylish rooms and a classy restaurant.
Depart after breakfast. The trip to your camp at Erg Chebbi is about 5 hours, so you have plenty of time to divert at Tinghir to Todra Gorge, which features a 300m deep fault. The most notable town en route before the desert is Rissani, which used to be a desert capital and important trading post. Whilst it has somewhat faded from its lofty history, the town retains a charm of a bygone era and also features a lively market on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursdays. You will arrive at the camp 2 to 3 hours before sunset so have time to enjoy a camel trek, climbing dunes, the sunset and dinner under the stars.Departing the camp after breakfast the return route to Marrakech follows a different route. After Rissani you take the route via Alnif, Nkob and Agdz. This route is famous for its fossils. At Agdz you enter the verdant Draa Valley and its 3 million palm trees. After Ouarzazate you take the ‘main road´ back over the Tiz n’Tichka pass to Marrakech. You will arrive back in Marrakech at about 6.30pm, allowing time to stop en route for photography and lunch.
