Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Transfer to the Desert Camp
Today’s journey takes you through stunning landscapes, starting with the lush cedar, pine, and oak forests of the Middle Atlas Mountains. This varied route from north to south offers a fascinating contrast of environments, where nomadic shepherds can be seen living in black tents, moving their herds of goats and sheep across the mountains in the summer, then migrating to the desert in the winter. As you continue south, you’ll reach the Saharan plateau, before ascending into the High Atlas Mountains. Here, the scenery becomes truly breathtaking, with rugged peaks, date palm valleys, and fortified earthen villages, including the famous “Valley of Roses” and the “Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs.” Your next stop will be the awe-inspiring Todra Gorge, one of Morocco’s most dramatic natural landmarks. From there, you’ll cross the semi-Saharan plains, heading towards your final destination: the Great Saharan Dunes of Erg Chebbi. At Erg Chebbi, you’ll have the opportunity to ride camels across the towering dunes and enjoy an unforgettable sunset. Afterward, settle into a luxury desert bivouac for a memorable evening under the stars, with dinner served in your private desert camp.
