4-day tour: The gateway to the desert.
The “Gateway to the Desert” Ouarzazate literally means “no noise,” and is reminiscent of the silent sentinels of the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert. Once a small crossing point for African traders, the region attracted filmmakers in the 20th century, where scenes from films such as “Star Wars,” “The Last Temptation of Christ” and “Lawrence of Arabia” were shot. Many excursions through the Draa Valley and the desert begin here, and the town and its surroundings feature prominent Berber kasbahs that seem to emerge organically from the desert floor. This destination evokes an exotic atmosphere that will surprise even the most seasoned traveler. A fascinating journey to learn more about ancient Berber culture.
TRAVEL ITINERARY
Day 1: After being picked up at Ourzazate airport, we begin the adventure by visiting the Kasbah of Aiit Benhadou and its cinematic landscapes, where we will stop to eat and relax. We will then stroll through the picturesque village, visiting local crafts and its hospitable inhabitants, and then return at sunset, where we will be welcomed with mint tea at our Riad in Ourzazate.
Day 2: After a delicious Berber breakfast, we will set off on an unforgettable desert journey. The first stop will be in the Valley of Roses, Kelaa M'Gouna, where you can see how rose perfume is made and where you can also buy natural cosmetics. We will then continue until we reach the impressive Todra Gorge and its mountains to enjoy a local meal. Finally, we will reach the dunes of Erg Chebbie, where our camels will be waiting for us to watch an unforgettable sunset and take us into the dunes. A magical night at the camp.
Day 3: After a relaxing breakfast at dawn in the dunes, we will begin the camel ride back to Merzouga to visit the town of Boulmane Dades and its valley as well as the route of the monkey's fingers until we reach Rissani, the town with the oldest market on the desert merchants route where you can enjoy an authentic local Berber meal before continuing back to Ourzazate. Once in the city we will visit the famous film studios and then rest back at the Riad. End of our trip.
