The journey

From the sensory maze of Marrakech's souks, cross the High Atlas to sleep beneath a blanket of stars in a luxury desert camp. Camel caravans at dusk, Berber drum circles by firelight, and kasbahs that starred in a hundred films.

Day by day

6 days, drawn in detail

  1. Check into a restored riad, then dive into the souks and Jemaa el-Fnaa square with a local storyteller as dusk falls.

  2. Wind over the Tizi n'Tichka pass to the UNESCO-listed mud-brick kasbah of Aït Benhaddou, overnighting in Ouarzazate.

  3. Walk the 300-metre canyon walls of Todra Gorge, then continue through palm oases to the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes.

  4. Sunset camel caravan into the dunes to your private camp — Berber drums, tagine dinner, and stargazing with a night-sky guide.

  5. Sandboard the dunes at dawn, then journey back through the million-palm Draa Valley to Marrakech.

  6. Traditional hammam and mint tea farewell before your airport transfer.
