Itinerary of Atlas mountain Sahara tour

Day 1Marrakech – Imlil

The trip starts at 8 am with a 1h20m car drive from Marrakech to the Moulay Brahim Gorges in the south, Asni Saturday market, up to Agersioual (1,600m). We start the trek with the local mule team to the Berber village of Alkkiss (1700m), taking you over the Tizi n’Agersioual pass at an altitude of 2200m. Lunch will be served either by the river or at a Berber home after trekking through the Imnane valley, leading to the Tizi n’Tamtert pass (2379m). At this point, you can see the beautiful expanse of the two valleys of Imlil and Imnane. After walking for another 1h30m, you will reach Imlil, where you will have an evening of delicious Moroccan cuisine at the Guesthouse. The trip will consist of a 1h20 drive and 5 hours of trekking.

Day 2Imlil – Dades Valley

At 8:00 am, a car will pick you up for a trip to the Atlas Mountains, taking you through the mesmerizing landscape of the Tizi-n’Tichka mountain pass. You will be passing through Berber country with many Berber villages along the route. When you get to the desert, you will see barren hillsides with scattered Kasbahs and many oases. You may opt for a break to take a tour of the Ouarzazate Film Studios, and you can also make a short trip to the enchanting ancient city of Ait Benhaddou. Ait Benhaddou is a 15th-century fortified city with countless Kasbahs. At Dades Gorge, you may either go for a hike or decide to rest at your hotel. You will spend the night at Dades. 6hrs drive time.

Day 3Dades Valley – Todra Gorge – Merzouga

Breakfast will serve at your accommodation. Then you move from Dades Valley to Todra Gorge, a gigantic fault that divides the High Atlas Mountains. The Todra Gorge rises to 300 meters in a narrow valley inhabited by Berber villages and palm groves. If you wish, you can go on a hike to check out the palm grove, which is a lush oasis with plenty of large date palms. After lunch, the journey continues further into the desert. At the gateway town of Merzouga, you will pick up supplies for the desert trip. Afterward, you will head to a Kasbah to get your camel. Then you will take a 1h30 camel trek before sunset to a Berber camp where a traditional Moroccan dinner is waiting for you. You will spend the night in tents at a desert camp or under the stars. Drive time 5hrs.

Day 4Merzouga – Marrakech

At sunset, we shall embark on a 1hr30 camel ride to further explore the surroundings and make our return to Merzouga on a camel.
