This tour from Marrakech to Merzouga was an unforgettable experience. The journey started with a scenic drive over the Atlas Mountains and the Tizi-n-Tichka pass, where the views were simply spectacular. Visiting the ancient Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou and spending the night in a cozy riad in the Dades Valley were highlights of the first day. Day two was even more exciting, with stops at the impressive Todra Gorge and the bustling market in Rissani before we reached the Erg Chebbi dunes.
