After breakfast, we drive to the Dades Valley.  On the way, we will pass through the Atlas Mountains at an altitude of about 2,260 meters (about 7,415 feet) along the road winding through rolling valleys and steep peaks.  Along the way, we will take some breaks to admire the unique terrain and peculiar mountain landscapes of the Atlas Mountains.<\/span><\/p>\n

At noon, we will visit the Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, known as the “most beautiful village in Morocco”.  This fortified village, which is still the best preserved in Morocco, is a typical pre-Saharan settlement.  The village was built with terracotta mud bricks, a Moroccan specialty.  The bright red houses give the village an unreal yet real feeling.<\/p>\n

This ancient city is not only one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but also a location for many famous movies and TV series, including Game of Thrones, Gladiator and Jewel of the Nile.<\/p>\n

After lunch we continue to the Dades Valley.  In the evening, we will have dinner and spend the night at a riad.  Riad, an Arabic word that means \u201cgardens\u201d, nowadays <\/span>is usually a traditional guesthouse constructed around one central courtyard<\/span>.

After breakfast at the hotel, we drive to Merzouga, the “Gateway to the Sahara Desert”.  Along the way we will stop and hike Todra Godges which are a series of limestone river canyons.  In some places the canyon is as little as 10 meters (33 feet) wide, the walls are more than 300 meters (1,000+ feet) high.  Todra Godge is a popular rock-climbing destination for rock climbers.<\/p>\n

\n

After enjoying canyon’s steep brownish-red color and cool breeze, we continue to Merzouga and enter the Sahara Desert (please wear sunscreens and sunglasses) to experience the thrill and excitement of desert sand-boarding.<\/p>\n

The Sahara here is famous for its sand dunes of various shapes and sizes.  The dunes will show different colors such as gold and pink as the natural light changes.  Upon arrival in the desert, we will take a camel ride into the desert and watch the sunset.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At night, we will enjoy dinner at our camp site accompanied by drumming music, songs, laughter, and most of all, be mesmerized by the stars before retiring for the night in your Berber tent.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Along the way, we will make a stop at Ifrane to experience the “Little Switzerland of Morocco”.  Strolling through the tree-lined streets, admiring the exquisite European-style buildings and well-maintained lawns, will make you feel you were in a European Alpine village.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walking along the main square (Plaza Uta el-Hammam) and stepping on the irregular cobblestone pavement will make you feel like you were in a different world.\u00a0 The castle with mottled signs on the square, surrounded by red walls, and the eye-catching Grand Mosque are a magnet for pilgrimage and worship.<\/p>
