Begin your journey to the Erg Chebbi desert from Marrakech in the morning, crossing the High Atlas Mountains and passing through Kasbahs and Berber villages. We'll make stops to take photos, enjoy the scenery, stretch our legs, and have coffee. At Tizi N’Tichka, admire panoramic views before reaching Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah the most important first-day stop. Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco's best-known ksar and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has featured in films like Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, and Game of Thrones. After a hearty lunch at a local café, continue to the Dades Valley via Ouarzazate, the Skoura oasis, and Klaa Mgouna, the rose valley capital known for its traditional rose water distillation factories. Enjoy the stunning landscapes and unique culture along the way. End the day with an overnight stay in the Dades Valley, immersing yourself in the tranquil desert environment and preparing for the next leg of your adventure to Erg Chebbi.
