After exploring the kasbah, we’ll continue to the Skoura Oasis, known for its vast palm groves and ancient kasbahs.

After lunch in Tinghir, we continue to Rissani, a bustling market town with rich historical significance. In the late afternoon, we’ll arrive in Merzouga, where your camel awaits for a trek through the mesmerizing Erg Chebbi dunes. As the sun sets, casting a golden hue over the sands, we’ll reach our Berber camp. Enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner, music, and storytelling under the starry desert sky before retreating to your comfortable tent for the night.

Awake early to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the dunes before we begin our journey back to Marrakech.
