DESESRT MOROCCO TREK 3 DAYS
From Marrakech or Fes our simple Erg Chebbi desert camp in the dunes offers one of the best desert experiences anywhere, 29km from Merzouga and far from crowds arriving there by tour bus. You'll drive off road by 4x4 across the desert to visit Ait Benhaddou, Dades valley and Todra gorge. In the Erg Chebbi you will meet your camel guides and ride into the camp at sunset. A traditional tagine dinner will be prepared (vegetarians welcome). Climb the dunes and watch the moon rise before retiring to your bed in the nomad wool tent. Or take your mattress and sleep outside under the desert stars. The big dunes are spectacular and our camp is in a very safe yet roadless region. - See more at: http://www.moroccoexplored.com/2-moroccocameltreks.html#sthash.GAosd8uD.dpuf
Day 1 : Marrakech - Valley of the rose
Your driver will meet you at your riad or hotel at 8:00a.m., depart Marrakech, and transport over the High Atlas mountains Tichka pass. Stop and enjoy impressive landscapes, and break for coffee and fresh-squeezed orange juice. This afternoon is spent visiting World Heritage Site of Ait Benhaddou, a village of clustered Berber Kasbahs. This site has been used as a backdrop for more than 20 films and was one of the most important fortress strongholds on the old Salt Road when caravans brought slaves, gold, ivory and salt from Saharan Africa to Marrakech and beyond. Pass through Ouarzazate and many Berber villages sprinkling the Skoura oasis and the Valley of the Rose, famous for soft Persian rose oil. In the desert, barren hillsides are clustered with kasbahs (fortified dwellings that house many families and their livestock). Visit the night market in Tinehir and old kasbah quarter. Stay in traditional old kasbah. Includes breakfast and dinner.
