Three days, two nights and about 1,000 km \u2014 out to Merzouga and back, with a whole day spent inside the desert instead of on the road. Day one crosses the Tizi n’Tichka at 2,260 m to A\u00eft Ben Haddou, Ouarzazate, the Valley of Roses and Todra Gorge, then a camel trek into Erg Chebbi at sunset and a night at a luxury camp. Day two is the Sahara itself: Khamlia, a nomad family, the old mines at M’Fis, the dunes by 4×4, and a second night in a Merzouga hotel. Day three comes home through the Draa Valley and over the Atlas. A private vehicle with your own driver-guide, on whatever date you choose.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
