Combined High Atlas & Desert Trip
The Itinerary
Day 1 Marrakech - Imlil - Toubkal Refuge
The starting point for this trek is Imlil,in the mountains, and here you will meet your guide and supply mules. From here you'll trek for 5 hours or so towards the Neltner Refuge at 3207m, having lunch along the way, before staying in either a refuge or a tent, depending on the conditions.
Day 2: Toubkal Refuge- Toubkal peak 4167m- Imlil
The second day will see you ascend the highest peak in Northern Africa, Mount Toubkal, which is 4167m. From the top you will be able to see the desert (which you will be travelling across, on the back of a camel, several days from now), before you head down toward Imlil. 8-9 hours after you set off, you should be in the village, ready to stay the night in a local house.
Day 3: Imlil- Ait Ben Haddou - Ourzazate - Dades Valley
you and your party will transfer to the World Heritage site at Ait Benhaddou, which has provided the scenery for over 20 films. You will pass lots of spectacular views and beautiful villages before you get to the desert, at which point the scenery will transform into riversides of oases and kasbahs. Upon your arrival at the Valley Of The Roses, a Moroccan dinner will be waiting for you in a beautiful hotel in Dades.
Day 4: Dades Gorge - Merzougua - Erg Chebbi
fter your breakfast at the hotel, you and your group will transfer to the Todra Gorge, a gigantic fault line that divides the Atlas Mountains as a narrow valley peppered with Berber villages and rises to 300m. After your lunch, you will head deeper into the desert, to a tiny village called Merzouga, where you will trek overnight with the camels (you will get to sleep, do not worry!) to the beautiful Erg Chebbi dunes – the highest dunes in Morocco. You will then ride your camels for an hour and a half at sunset and sleep under the stars at a desert camp after a welcome Berber meal.
Day 5: Erg Chebbi - Marrakech
The final day will present you with wonderful views of sunrise in the desert ,camel ride along the dunes for about 1hour and half ,meet the driver and drive all the way back to Marrakech arrive at around 17h00.
