Arrive at Merzouga on the afternoon. You’ll be welcomed with a glass of mint tea before you camel ride, guided by an experienced camel man to explore within the golden sand sea of Merzouga. Dinner in front of the tent where you will spend the night. The nights in Merzouga are equally enchanting, featuring bonfires and delightful dinners that add to the overall beauty of the desert adventure.

An hour later, we arrive at one of the High Atlas’s gems—the Todra Gorges.
