After breakfast in Ouarzazate, you will continue to discover the city of Skoura. At 42 km, a walk through the palm grove will be scheduled to meet a population that lives in the valley of palm trees.
You will then head towards the Dades gorges via Boulmane, a town that opens up between the banks of the Dades. The street is dotted with kasbahs and Ksour and the landscape has an ochre, red and mauve dye given by rock formations, almond trees and green vegetation that costs the river. From this point the road climbs for 25 km to cross the rocky plateau where camels graze, the road is full of Ksour, oasis and palm trees so we will reach Tineghir, embedded at 1350 m altitude and partly surrounded by a palm grove.
You end the day at the Dades Gorge, a quiet night under the stars will be there!

After breakfast, visit the Todra Gorge. The walls rise to lead and more and more cuts are made, reaching 300 m high. After seeing this spectacular landscape, you will visit the town of Tinejdad, to reach the Ksar of Touroug, the fortified town surrounded by splendid oases.
You then enter the palm trees of Jorf, which extend as far as Arfoud, where the best dates in the country are gathered. Then you reach the desert dunes of fine golden sand. The dunes of Merzouga are accessible by car thanks to the asphalt belt that replaces the old deserted track. We change the 4×4 traction for camels to cross the big desert dunes. You will spend the night in the heart of the desert under nomad tents and thus you can quietly watch the sunset, the stars, the moon and the sunrise. Dinner and accommodation at the camp (bivouac).
