Visit free and at your own pace the Djemma Square, the fna and the medina, the heart of the city. A unique experience, where all life and night activity is concentrated: dancers, storytellers, jugglers, artisans, merchants and snake charmers. From the terraces of some cafés you get a wide view of the city: mosques and minarets, palaces and gardens, souks and bazaars.

DJEMMA EL-FNA PLACE

This main square of the city and throughout the day attracts tourists and locals who may visit the stalls selling orange juice and water, as well as snake charmers, women painting with henna or the boys with monkeys.

At night the atmosphere changes and you can see dancers, musicians and jugglers, which fill it in its entirety, and that provide an atmosphere of drums and fun.

We recommend sitting in one of the surrounding cafes to enjoy the atmosphere or go to dinner at one of the more than 100 stalls that are placed at this time and with different types of Moroccan food

After breakfast, and at the time previously agreed with the guide, meeting with the guide at your hotel to start the tour.

We will cross the high atlas, passing the port of Tichka at 2260m high, making several stops to contemplate the landscape and take pictures, since it is one of the most impressive routes in Morocco. We will see the change in the vegetation of Marrakech along with the views of the palm groves and the north face of the mountains. Due to the aridity of the south, we will begin to observe the first Berber villages of adobe on the slopes of the mountains.

After passing the city of Ouarzazate, the so-called “desert gate”, we will continue through the palm grove of Skoura and the Valley of the Roses until we reach the Dades Valley, where we will spend the night surrounded by mountains.

After the breakfast, we will continue along the banks of Boumalne Dades, in a road surrounded by kasbahs and ksours (fortresses or castles), whose landscape is ocher, red and mauve. After a journey full of oasis and palm trees we will arrive at Tineghir, where the spectacular Todra Gorges are perched at 1,350 m altitude and surrounded by a palm grove.

We will continue to Erfoud (city of fossils) and after passing several tracks we will reach Merzouga, in front of the dunes of Erg Chebbi, where we will change from our vehicle to the dromedaries, who will lead us to the camp to spend the night in Haimas and enjoy of the magic of the desert under a blanket of millions of stars.

Typical dinner at the rhythm of Berber drums.

This will undoubtedly be a magical night!

Whoever wants it, can get up early to see the sun rise and not miss the unique opportunity to see a sunrise that can be enjoyed in few places on earth. After the breakfast, we will say goodbye to the desert and return with the dromedaries to the place where our 4 × 4 vehicle awaits us.

Then we will go to Rissani, the first imperial city, with its interesting market, where nomads from the surrounding area come to sell their livestock and buy the goods they need. If time permits, and it is market day, we can make a stop to witness first-hand local trade exchanges, then take the road to Ouarzazate through the Draa Valley, one of the longest rivers in Morocco.

We will make several stops to contemplate the charming adobe kasbahs and Berber villages along the route and the interesting geological formations of the Valley. Arrival at the hotel and time for a well-deserved rest.

After breakfast, if you wish, you can make an optional visit to the Universal Cinema studios or to the Kasbah of Taourirt.
