Morning pick up from your hotel/riad in Ouarzazate at 8:30am and departure to
Skoura oasis via the Road known as Thousand Kasbahs. We will arrive to Skoura
palm oasis where we visit known Kasbah Amerhidil, that is featured in many
Moroccan brochures as well as on one of the Dirhams. Then we continue to Rose
Valley, famous for the production of Moroccan roses and many products made
out of it. Then our next stop will be the Todra Gorge, the highest oasis in
Morocco. The walls of the gorge reach 300 meters and at their most narrow part
are mere 20 meters apart. Then the road will slowly start changing and we start

Day 2
Merzouga – Rissani – Nekob - Ouarzazate
We recommend to wake up early in the morning to watch the beautiful sunrise
waking up the desert scenery. Then we return to Merzouga where we have the
opportunity to shower and depart. Close to Merzouga, we will visit the ancient
city of Rissani that thrived from the 8th to the 14th centuries thanks to the
caravan routes of the kingdom of Sijilmassa. It was also the home of
the Alouite peoples - the early conquerors of all Morocco. We see men wearing
the indigo blue robes distinctive of the Saharan people. Then we head towards
the volcanic mountains of Sarhro dramatic rock formations and gorges with
superb views, very different to the High Atlas Mountains. We eventually meet
with the largest oasis of Morocco Draa valley, lined up by many palm groves.
