After breakfast, depart from your hotel and head to Tinghir and its spectacular Todgha Gorge. Take time to explore the canyons before enjoying lunch at a local café. Then, continue to Merzouga to meet your camel caravan. Discover the dunes of Erg Chebbi on the back of a camel and watch the sunset. Reach your desert camp before night and enjoy an authentic Moroccan dinner under the stars. Local nomads will entertain you with traditional Tam Tam drums.
