Day 2: Merzouga Desert » Erfoud Fossil's » Todra Gorges » Dades Valley[269Km]
Embarking on a "Date with the Sunrise" in the middle of the desert is a must-do. Waking up early allows you to witness the most breathtaking sunrise from the top of a high dune near the camp. It's a nature's gift, and after enjoying this scenic beauty, head back to the camp for a delightful breakfast.
Post breakfast, we bid farewell to the desert and headed to Erfoud. Here, you can explore the fossilized marble factories before making your way to Touroug and Tinjdad palm groves.
An hour later, we arrive at one of the High Atlas's best spots, the Todra Gorges. The river has carved out a stunning cliff-sided canyon, making it a popular destination, especially among climbers. Take some free time to enjoy lunch in this incredible place, and a short walk through the gorges is recommended to fully appreciate the landscape.
In the afternoon, our journey continues to the Dades Valley, also known as the Figs Valley. Passing through Boumalne Dades, we'll make a stop at the "monkey legs". Dinner and overnight stay at the Dades Gorges.

Day 3: Dades Valley » Ouarzazate » Ait Benhaddou Kasbah » Marrakech[345Km]
After a hearty breakfast, we can soak in a splendid view of the Dades Valley from a mountaintop vantage point. This spot offers a great perspective on the numerous kasbahs and their unique features.
Our journey continues along a road adorned with various tourist-worthy kasbahs. Making stops to appreciate the charm of the "One Thousand Kasbahs Road", the Roses Valley, and the expansive Skoura palm grove, we eventually reach Ouarzazate. Here, we'll explore the Kasbah of Taourirt, once the dwelling of the Glaoui or Marrakech pasha. If you're keen, we can also visit the cinema studios and the cinema museum.
A brief half-hour drive from Ouarzazate takes us to the fortified village (Ksar) of Ait Benhaddou, home to the famous Kasbah recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. This spectacular location has been featured in renowned films like Gladiator, Obelix, The Mummy, The Jewel of the Nile, and Sahara with Penélope Cruz. Enjoy some free time for lunch in the town.
In the afternoon, our journey to Marrakech begins, passing through the mountain port of Tizi N'Tichka. We'll make a few stops for photo opportunities, transitioning from the moon-like landscape to a vibrant array of colors.

We had an absolute blast during our 4 days trip with Hassan. An amazing adventure that went beyond our expectations. Everything was perfect, from the itinerary, places we stay, the restaurants, the pictures spot, to most importantly all the fun and the good vibes while discovering an amazing side of Marocco. A country of contrast worth discovering and Hassan, and together with Trips In Morocco, they were the perfect host ! I can only recommend. Thanks for the amazing time, choukran khouya 😁.
An absolute blast!
Hassan has been an amazing guide, driver and friend! Me and my two friends have spent four amazing days with Hassan, we traveled from Marrakech to the desert, crossing some amazing landscapes and discovering local places thanks to him! A true experience of Morocco with a local who gave us more than we would have expected! The night in the desert in a Berber camp was the best part of this trip among many other amazing moments. Thank you Hassan for your help, your knowledge your time and your patience!
I recommend him even for solo travelers. As women we felt very secure, and we have trusted him very much!

Best Holidays of my Life
After a two-year delay I was finally able to complete our trip from Fez to Marrakesh with my two grown-up children via the Sahara and Dades Gorge. The landscape is spectacular following the Low and then Ante Atlas mountains with their ancient rust-coloured mounds - popular with film-makers. From David Lean to Scorcese. The long drive on day 1 was rewarded with a camel ride on the magestic dunes, a stunning sunset amd warm Berber welcome in the camp. The upmarket tents had hot showers and wifi and the tajines were delicious and the luminous night sky must not be missed. From there we visited Morocco's film studio with helpful guide and on towards the Gorge - the sheer scale is amazing and we stayed in a Kasbah (fortified house) again with stunning views. The finalmdrive over the High Atlas - greener and more populous, confirmed the beauty of Morocco. Hassan is very knowledgeable and we had many laughs along the way. Thanks for a very memorable Xmas!
Spectacular Road Trip
We arrived in Marrakech and toured for two days and then were met at our Riad by Hassan who was right on time. We had a three day tour planned from Marrakech to the desert to Fez. Hassan knew the places to stop for breaks or photos on our way to D'ait Ben Hadou which was a Kasbah used in Hollywood movie sets and fairly well maintained. Hassan gave us the history and led us on a tour of the Kasbah. After visiting that Kasbah we drove through the Valley of Roses and stopped for the night in Dades. Amazing views along the way and Hassan provided a narrative to the different places about history and culture and answered any of our questions. The next day we headed to Merzouga for a tour of the dunes. The transfer between each of the sites and each of the hotel arrangements were great. One the way to Fez we decided to have Hassan extend his tour services for the rest of our four days traveling from Fez to Tangier to Rabat to Casablanca and then back to Marrkech. Hassan is a great guide has lots of recommendations on what is possible to see, has a great sense of humor and made suggestions for possible hotels for us to book on our own. We have done other private tours in other countries and I can say Hassan contributed a lot to our trip. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing 4 day trip with Hassan from Marrakech to merzouga dunes and back including camel trek to spend a night in the desert camp. There is a lot of driving on this tour but we were very comfortable in Hassan's 4x4 and with plenty of great scenery along the way and many stops to the visit the Kasbah Ben Haddou, Ouarzazate, the Rose valley, Dades valley and Toudra oasis and Toudra gorge etc it broke up the journey well. Hassan was good fun and informative without being overbearing, he basically took us anywhere we wanted to go!- and always made good choices for lunch stops. We were very happy with the 'luxury' accommodation. All in all a wonderful experience and a highlight of our trip to Morocco.
Thank you Hassan!
Highly recommended!
