See the desert and the mountains
This exhilarating 8-day Morocco tour offers a unique combination of mountain trekking, cultural tourism, and desert adventure—perfect for travellers seeking a full-spectrum Moroccan experience.
Your journey begins with a scenic transfer from Marrakech to Aguersioual, where you’ll meet your guide, cook, and muleteers before starting an acclimatization trek through the gentle terrain of Ouirgane National Park. The copper-green soil and juniper trees set the tone for your first night in a Berber village gîte in Tizian.
Day two takes you on a rewarding 7-hour hike into the picturesque Azzaden Valley, where mountain streams and walnut groves frame breathtaking views of Mount Toubkal. Overnight accommodation will be in a local gîte or campsite, offering a true taste of traditional mountain life.
On day three, the trek intensifies with a steep ascent past the Ighouliden Waterfalls and over the Aguelzim Pass (3,560m) en route to the Toubkal Refuge. This physically challenging day ends with spectacular views and a night spent at 3,200m alongside fellow trekkers preparing to summit North Africa’s highest peak.
Day four is the highlight for trekkers—the early-morning climb to the summit of Mount Toubkal (4,167m). From the peak, enjoy panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains and even the distant Sahara Desert. The long descent back to Imlil is demanding but fulfilling, followed by a well-earned rest.
Your tour then shifts into desert exploration. From Imlil, you’ll journey across the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass, passing traditional Berber villages and dramatic landscapes en route to Dades Gorge, where you can hike or relax.
On day six, visit the dramatic Todra Gorge before heading into the Sahara Desert. From Merzouga, ride a camel into the dunes at sunset, then spend the night under the stars in a traditional Berber camp.
The final leg includes exploring the iconic Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featured in many films, and visiting the historic Telouet Kasbah before returning to Marrakech.
For adventurous travellers, this is one of the most comprehensive and rewarding Morocco tours, blending trekking, culture, and desert magic into one unforgettable journey.
