We start with an off-road drive to an old kohl (eyeliner) mine, then visit nomads in their woven tents and learn about their way of life over a cup of Berber tea. Next, continue to Khamlia to enjoy Gnaoua music and dance; many residents have roots in Mali, Sudan, and Niger. Free time for lunch in a local restaurant. In the afternoon, stroll through a palm grove and drive a few kilometers to the wild lake of Merzouga (often called the flamingos’ lake).
Later, switch to camels to cross the dunes, stopping on a high dune for sunset, then continue to the luxury camp. Enjoy Berber drumming around the campfire under a sky full of stars. Dinner and overnight in the camp.
Wake up early to witness the beautiful sunrise in the heart of the desert. Enjoy breakfast, then return to Merzouga, meet your driver, and head west. We will stop for viewpoints and café breaks before reaching Ouarzazate, where you’ll have free time for lunch.
After lunch, continue toward Marrakech via the famous ksar of Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site featured in films such as Gladiator, Alexander, and The Mummy, as well as the series Game of Thrones. Cross the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass through the High Atlas Mountains to arrive in Marrakech, then transfer to the airport or your accommodation. End of the desert tour.
