Overview

Three days. Twelve hundred kilometres. A journey through the heart of Morocco that most people only dream about. You leave Marrakech in the early morning and by nightfall you are sleeping under a sky full of stars in the Sahara desert.

In between, Morocco reveals itself in layers — the snow-capped Tichka Pass at 2,260 metres, the ancient mud citadel of Aït Benhaddou where Gladiator was filmed, the dramatic slash of the Todgha Gorges, and finally the soft red dunes of Merzouga rising out of the flat desert plain.

This is a private tour. Your vehicle, your driver, your pace. No groups, no imposed schedules, no rushing past things that deserve more time. The camel ride at sunset, the silence of the Sahara at 3am, the sunrise from the top of the dunes — these are the moments people talk about for years.

“The desert does not give you what you expect. It gives you what you need.”
