The afternoon will be spent touring Ait Ben Haddou, a World Heritage Site. This village of gathered Berber Kasbahs has been used in more than twenty films and was one of the most significant fortress strongholds during the caravan era in Morocco. And following our tour of the Kasbah, we will travel to the Moroccan Hollywood of Ourzazate, where we will view filming locations and explore one of the film studios or a museum, as well as the Taourirt Kasbah, before arriving at the sanctuary of Skoura, known for its palm groves. You will also visit the Kasabah of Amerhidel, which was once home to the most popular family responsible for safeguarding the village and its properties and dates to the 17th century. After passing through the capital of roses, El Kelaat M’Gouna, the vehicle will proceed to the Dades Gorges via the valley of a thousand Kasbahs. In the Dades Gorges, you will be staying in a hotel or Riad.

In the Gorges, you will also have the opportunity to see nomads coming down to drink or carrying water jugs for themselves or their animals.

In the morning, you will begin to explore the area surrounding the Desert. You will begin in Khamlia or nearby to enjoy and dance with the black-skinned Sudanese, and then travel to the other side of the Sahara to see the Nomads who live there. You can spend time with them and ask them numerous questions to get an in-depth knowledge of their life and lifestyle. The Nomads here are extremely hospitable and friendly. Then, stay in the Desert until you have completed the entire tour of the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Your driver/guide will transport you to a local restaurant for lunch to enjoy ‘the Berber pizza’. You will return to your hotel or Riad for a break around 3 p.m. in order to prepare for the camel excursion to the golden sand dunes. Overnight in a Berber tent.
