We will have time to stop and enjoy some breathtaking landscapes, Berber villages and also have a tea and mint coffee.
After descending the mountains, we will make a mandatory stop in the fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou, scene of many movies, where we will visit its famous Kasbah (declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO). After free time for lunch in the village we will continue our journey to Ouarzazate, considered the great gateway to the desert and place from where the great expeditions depart. Afterwards, we will leave for the Valley of the Roses called Kelaat Mgouna passing through the great palm grove of Sekoura and Boumalne Dades. Upon arrival we will enjoy dinner and spend our first night in this Marrakech Desert Excursion in the Dades Gorges.
Did you know that…
- The name Marrakech means in Berber “Land of God“. The city is located at the intersection between the desert and the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains.
- South of the High Atlas, lies the legendary territory of the 1,000 Moroccan kasbahs. The kashbah is an ancient fortified city that was used as a dwelling for the local chieftain and as a defensive system of the territory.
