Everyone sells this route. The difference is the vehicle, the pace, and the fact that we stop where the light is good rather than where the coach parks. Three days from Marrakech: the Atlas, the gorges, the great erg, and back.
- Tizi n'Tichka and the UNESCO ksar of Aït Ben Haddou
- Skoura's palmeraie and the Valley of Roses
- Dades and Todra gorges on the same day
- Sunset and sunrise over Erg Chebbi
