Day 1: Marrakech - Tizi - N - Tichka - Ait Benhaddou - Ouarzazate - Dades Gorges Following a pick-up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech, drive to the Dades Gorges via the dramatic twists and turns of the Tizi-n-Tichka pass in the Atlas Mountains. Enjoy far-reaching views to the traditional High Atlas Berber village of Telouet. Continue to Ait Benhaddou to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the fortified village (Ksour). After lunch in Ait Benhaddou or Ouarzazate, continue to the Dades Valley for an overnight stay in a riad or hotel in the Dades Gorge.

Pause to relax at Merzouga for a few moments before you climb on to the back of a camel and cross the sand dunes en route to a nomadic Berber camp.

This was my first time to travel in Marrakesh with my 3 years old son for a week, arrived on the 16 of September. To be honest the trip was more than what I expected! It was extremely amazing!. My tour guide also as our driver is very very professional, helpful, clear to answer all my questions, very kind and a funny man as well. Not forgotten that he always being helpful to look after my son just like his own child. He always make sure that we have enough water to drink since the weather is too much hot now and care all of the small things we need. He took us to all the magnificent places to visits and let us to take a good pictures. This 3 days tour with our guide is UNFORGETTABLE! He made us to fall in love with Marrakesh and I will definitely come back to experience with another different excursion somewhere next time. Oussama El Biyad is the guide name... I recommended him 100% for those u wants to travel in Marrakesh. Satisfaction guaranteed. Thanks - Damian & Cassie

The tour was amazing! Our driver was very friendly and drives very well. Visits to the attractions were faithfully followed. We had no problem. The first night hotel / riad was perfect with an amazing view. The meals as booked were all well served. The desert tour was magnificent. Highly recommend the tour for sure. And congratulations to the driver who was very polite and very helpful, grade one!

Hello travelers! My husband and I have been travelling together to more than 20 countries all around the world for the past years. However, this is the 3rd review we ever make. Why? Because we don`t like making bad reviews (so we don`t do that) but it also happens very rarely to have such a good impression so you spear the time to write a recommendation. This tour was sooooo good that we just couldn`t believe how lucky we were to make it. When you book a tour, you expect that the best experience you will get is from the sights you see. In this tour half of the amazing experience was actually because of the people we met! All people in Morocco are amazing and those that we met at the tour make no exception. The driver – Speaks French, English, Arabic and Barberian. Super kind, open-minded, curious, helpful, friendly person. He was supposed to be just our driver but instead he also played the informal role of guide (as we were asking a lot of questions), translator, safeguard.
