After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, we head toward the Todra Gorges, a stunning canyon where crystal-clear waters flow between towering rock cliffs. Take your time to stroll along the gorge, capture breathtaking photos, and enjoy the peaceful serenity of this natural wonder. As we leave the mountains behind and approach the vast Sahara Desert, the scenery gradually transforms, revealing endless golden sands stretching to the horizon. Along the way to Merzouga, the gateway to the desert, you can marvel at the striking desert landscapes and dramatic views.

Upon arrival at the Erg Chebbi dunes, your camel caravan awaits for a magical sunset trek across the sparkling sands. The dunes glow golden in the evening light, creating a memory you will treasure forever. After the ride, you’ll arrive at your luxury Berber desert camp, nestled deep in the dunes. Enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner by candlelight, then relax in your private tent with an ensuite bathroom. Later, gather around the warm desert fire to listen to live Berber music, and don’t forget to gaze up at the night sky the stars here shine brighter than anywhere else, offering an unforgettable celestial spectacle.

Wake up early to witness the stunning sunrise over the Sahara dunes, a peaceful moment you’ll never forget. After enjoying a traditional Moroccan breakfast at your tent, prepare for an exhilarating 4×4 desert adventure, exploring the vast and ever-changing landscapes of the Erg Chebbi dunes. Visit nomadic Berber families who move throughout the desert and are known for their warmth and hospitality. They will serve you sweet mint tea and share insights into their centuries-old lifestyle, deeply connected to the desert environment.

Next, stop at the village of Khamlia, famous for its vibrant Gnaoua music, a spiritual rhythm with roots in Sub-Saharan Africa. Experience a live performance by local musicians and feel the energy and soul of this rich cultural tradition. Later, take a stroll through a hidden desert oasis, where towering date palms provide shade and a serene retreat amid the golden sands. In the late afternoon, transfer to your desert hotel to relax, soak in the peaceful surroundings, and reflect on a day filled with cultural discovery, adventure, and the breathtaking beauty of the Moroccan Sahara.
