Your route
Timings are a flexible guide, not a fixed schedule. Youssef adapts each private departure to conditions, opening hours and your pace.
Cross the High Atlas, explore Aït Ben Haddou on foot and pause for lunch near Ouarzazate. Continue through Skoura and the Valley of Roses to a Dadès guesthouse for dinner and overnight.
Stop at a Dadès viewpoint, then walk at Todra Gorge before following the Tafilalet oases to Merzouga. Reach the dunes for sunset and transfer by dromedary or 4x4 to camp for dinner and the night.
Slow down for a dune walk, oasis landscapes and a respectfully arranged Khamlia music visit with local hosts. Try medfouna for lunch, and choose optional sandboarding or a short 4x4 circuit. Spend a second night at a dune-edge lodge or camp.
Visit Rissani market when the operating day aligns, then travel through Alnif and N’Kob to the palms of the Draa Valley. Continue to Ouarzazate for dinner and overnight.
Choose Taourirt Kasbah or a film-studio visit according to your interests and opening conditions. Follow the Ounila and High Atlas landscapes, adding Telouet only when road and timing permit, before returning to Marrakech.
