7-Day Circuit — Marrakech & the Grand South
Centuries-old kasbahs, spectacular gorges and a night under the stars in the Erg Chebbi dunes: a complete journey through Morocco's most iconic landscapes.
The most complete itinerary in southern Morocco
This 7-day circuit connects Marrakech to the Sahara desert via the most spectacular roads in southern Morocco: the Tizi n'Tichka pass, the Aït Benhaddou kasbah, the Dadès and Todra gorges, all the way to the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.
