Skoura is a lovely spot to look out at the more than 700.000 palm trees. Also, numerous kasbahs pepper the landscape. Damascene roses are grown in this valley for cosmetic purposes, such as rosewater. In May, the Rose Festival is held here. As it is a significant event in Moroccan culture.

We’ll arrive at the Todra Gorges after a few stops along the way.

The scenery is breathtaking. Locals live in the area, and their adobe villages can be seen. These gorges are popular with rock climbers due to their many rough surfaces on the rock sides. After a quick walk through the Todra gorges, you’ll have free time for lunch in Tinejdad or Touroug before moving on to the desert and the magnificent Merzouga sand dunes.

We’ll take an hour-long camel ride to our nomad camp in the middle of a sea of dunes (Erg Chebbi). We’ll watch the sunset from the top of a dune before sleeping in a tent under a stunning starry sky.

Day 3: Tour around Erg Chebbi Desert:

When you’re in the middle of the desert, it’s well worth waking up early to watch the most stunning sunrise you’ve ever seen from the top of a dune near the camp. As you have to take in this natural wonder. Next, we return to Merzouga on camels. Later on, we will have breakfast, and take a shower.

After that, we’ll skirt the Erg Chebbi, a vast stretch of sandy desert where we’ll find Morocco’s Big Dune. that is more than 250 meters tall We then proceed on the path that was previously used for the “Paris – Dakar” race, which ends in the mountains that border Algeria. Stop at the Tissardmin oasis, where there are still fossil quarries in the region.

We then travel along a path where we can see nomad villages and hear about their customs and secrets. The next stop will be at a lookout point to take in the view of Erg Chebbi. We’ll then arrive at Kamilia Village, which is originally from Mali, where we’ll enjoy a soothing cup of tea while listening to a concert of Gnawa spiritual music.
