A camel trek unfolds, leading to a Berber tent, where the night is spent under the Sahara stars.

Day 2: Erg Chebbi - Tisrdmine Oasis - Khamlia - Merzouga Desert

As the dawn hues paint the dunes, a camel ride returns you to the hotel for breakfast and refreshments. Explore the nomadic life and nearby villages like Merzouga, Hassi Labied, and Khamlia.

Culminate the day with a stay in a local Ouarzazate hotel.

Day 5: Ouarzazate - Ait Ben Haddou - High Atlas - Marrakech
