One of our staff will meet you either at the airport, at your accommodation or at the agreed location. Our 6-day tour starts with the departure from Marrakech and the drive to the High Atlas Mountains. This is the highest mountain range in Morocco and home to many Berber families. As we cross it, you will see many small villages and fields. The Tizi n’Tichka is the highest pass in Morocco that can be crossed and offers an impressive view with its 2260 meters above sea level. On the other side, as we descend, you will see the traditional way of life of the locals.
We stop to visit the UNESCO site of Ait Benhaddou, located in the heart of the salt road that once supplied Timbuktu. We continue to Ouarzazate, the capital of cinema, which is home to several studios. There are also some impressive kasbahs here. On the other side, we pass the palm grove of Skoura and enter desert landscapes. Next stop is the rose capital of Kelaat M’gouna, where the fragrant Damascene roses are grown and harvested. We follow the Rose Valley into the Dades Valley, an important and fertile region where figs and many vegetables are grown. In the town of Boumalne we drive up to the Dades Gorge where you will spend the first night.
