Imperial Cities and Desert Magic
Marrakech, the Red City
Your adventure begins in Marrakech.
After your transfer from the airport, you’ll have the day to explore the « Red City » at your own pace.
Marrakech is a city where you move from one world to another by crossing a gateway or taking a few steps: from the frantic bustle of the square to the serene calm
of a Riad or a garden, from the weight of history in the Medina to the contemporary dynamism of Guéliz.
It’s this blend of authenticity, colours, spice fragrances, and hospitality that makes it so unforgettable.
Discover the historical richness of this ancient Almoravid capital and soak up the unique atmosphere of the different neighbourhoods: the Medina, the heart of the city, the Gardens (Majorelle, La Palmeraie, Menara Gardens), and finally, the new city mixing modernity and luxury.
Dinner and overnight stay at a Riad in Marrakech
From Marrakech to the Historic Aït Benhaddou
We’ll hit the road to cross the Tizi N’Tichka pass, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains.
The journey will continue to the famous Aït Benhaddou Kasbah,
a fortified village classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site
and a very popular filming location.
It represents a remarkable example of pre-Saharan earthen architecture, with its ochre buildings and defensive towers. Historically, it was a strategic crossing point on the old caravan route connecting the Sahara to Marrakech.
Despite tourism, the site maintains a resident population and provides a valuable testament to the traditional culture and habitat of Southern Morocco.

From the Dades Gorges to the Merzouga Dunes
After visiting the Skoura oasis, we’ll head towards the Dades Valley and then to the magnificent Toudra Gorges (or Todgha Gorges), which are among the highest canyons in Morocco.
On Day 4, we will reach Merzouga, the gateway to the desert. In the afternoon, experience a camel ride for a magical night under the stars in a nomad camp in the heart of the Erg Chebbi dunes.
Dinner and overnight stay at a Riad in the desert.
From the Erg Chebbi Desert to the Draa Valley
You will leave the dunes to explore unique desert landscapes. Passing through Rissani and Alnif, you will reach the magnificent Draa Valley before arriving in Zagora, a historical caravan crossroad. The following day, you will head towards Ouarzazate, known for its famous film studios and historical sites.
Dinner and overnight stay at a Riad in Ouarzazate.
Return to Marrakech and Free Time
The return journey to Marrakech will take you across the Atlas Mountains once again. You’ll have free time to walk around, shop in the souks of the Medina, and enjoy delicious Moroccan cuisine.
Dinner and overnight stay at a Riad in Marrakech.
Marrakech, Between Culture and Relaxation
Depending on your flight schedule, you can enjoy a final moment in Marrakech.
We can offer you a visit to the magnificent Majorelle Garden
or a tour of the Medina if you wish to explore more before your transfer to the airport.
This concludes your « Imperial Cities and Desert Magic » trip.
