Desert and Marrakech

After a night in the tents, we'll return to the hotel where we can shower and have breakfast. We'll begin the return journey to Marrakech, passing through the village of Rissani, where we can visit the local market, which was once a very important link for caravans traveling from north to south. We'll also see the Todra Gorges, where erosion has created a narrow gorge with vertical walls over 300 meters high, well-known among climbers. We'll take a beautiful walk following the course of the river. We'll also pass through the Dades Valley, visiting the so-called "monkey's toes," a rock formation that has taken on unusual shapes. We'll spend the night in the Dades Valley.

We will depart from Boumalne Dades towards Ouarzazate, the Moroccan Hollywood, where we will visit the film studios where numerous movies have been filmed, as well as the film museum and the Kasbah Taourirt, once the residence of the Pasha of Marrakech. We will then continue to the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where several films such as The Mummy and Kingdom of Heaven have also been filmed. This was once a stopping point for caravans so travelers could swap camels for horses and cross the mountains. We will depart through the Atlas Mountains, passing through the Tichka Pass at an altitude of 2,260 meters, until we reach Marrakech.
