Tour Highlights
Tizi N’tichka Pass
Tizi n'Tichka is a mountain pass in Morocco, linking the south-east of Marrakech to the city of Ouarzazat through the High Atlas mountains. It lies above the great Marrakesh plains, and is a gateway to the Sahara Desert.
Ait Benhaddou
The site of the ksar has been fortified since the 11th century during the Almoravid period. It is considered a great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987
Todra Gorges
The Todgha Gorges are a series of limestone river canyons, or wadi, in the eastern part of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco, near the town of Tinerhir, where a 300m-deep fault splits the orange limestone into a deep ravine at some points just wide enough for a crystal-clear river and single-file trekkers to squeeze through.
Sahara Desert
It is the world’s largest desert, at once continental in its scale and exquisite in its detail, from a sand sea the size of a small European country to an orange sand dune sculpted to perfection by the wind
