Marrakech - It’s seven in the morning, we are now standing in front of the hotel with the driver in charge of accompanying us, we get in the car and we are going. We no longer see the sights of the city 45 minutes after our departure, but we are in the midst of rudimentary local villages and markets as if we have gone back in time.
Tizi n Tichka - We aren’t far from the city, but all the development that distinguishes our present began to gradually fade away, to be replaced by the High Atlas Mountains and some of the douars built on their slopes.
Tizi n Tichka - What a beautiful Road, The Tizi-n- Tichka is the second-highest summit after Toubkal (2260 m altitude) we still enjoying the spectacular views of the high Atlas Mountains until we reach the Ait Benhaddou Ksar, it is a kind of an old Moroccan Palace.
Ait Ben Haddou - The Ait Benhaddou Ksar has been a UNESCO world heritage Site since 1987 and serval films have been shot there Such as Gladiator; The Mummy; Prince of Persia; Game Of throne….
we got time to get lunch and to visit some popular locations as well as the Ksar Ait ben haddou.
Ouarzazate - After the visit of these Kasbahs, we will continue our way to Ouarzazate, it is a really cute city, nicknamed the door of the desert or the Hollywood of Africa.
It is 20 min driving to get Ouarzazate, a stop for 45 min to visit the cinema museum as the Taourirt Kasbah.
Vallee Des Roses - We finished our visit to Ouarzazate which is a charming city, at least now we know why this city was chosen as a world-class film studio.
But the best is yet to come. We are still on our way towards the desert. Our next stop is the Valley of Roses. This name is not a metaphor or just a nickname given to a place, but it is a given name. The people of this area earn their living from growing roses and extracting oils, perfumes, and various cosmetics in a traditional natural way that preserves Safety standards and give better results compared to its counterparts of manufactured materials.
Dades Gorges - Gosh! How cool are these rocks! When we asked the driver he told us that these mountains are called the toes of monkeys and when we look closely they were actually rocks in the shape of fingers but they were too big for monkeys, maybe the fingers of huge gorillas We will stop for a while and then continue our journey towards the hotel, which is still about twenty-six kilometers away from us.

When a wealthy local family didn’t offer hospitality to a poor woman and her son, God was offended and buried them under the mounds of sand 50km south of Erfoud called Erg Chebbi.

When a wealthy local family didn’t offer hospitality to a poor woman and her son, God was offended and buried them under the mounds of sand 50km south of Erfoud called Erg Chebbi.
So goes the legend of the dunes rising majestically above the twin towns of Merzouga.
But the reality is even more unbelievable. Shape-shifting to reach heights of 160m, Erg Chebbi glows a stunning shade of rose gold, until afternoon sunlight tints the dunes orange, pink and purple.
