You arrive on the edge of the dunes as the sun melts into the sand—footprints steam, camels shift, and the air tastes faintly of tea and dust. Over three days you’ll cross the High Atlas by the Tizi n’Tichka pass, trace ochre kasbahs along the Valley of the Roses, stand in the vertical walls of Todra Gorge and sleep beneath the clear desert sky of Erg Chebbi.

3 days.
Moderate fitness recommended—able to handle several hours of travel each day, short hikes, and a 1–1.5 hour camel ride
The camel transfer to the Erg Chebbi camp is typically about 1 to 1.5 hours round-trip timing and paced for comfort rather than speed.
Most Berber camps provide blankets and some have basic heating; temperatures can fall sharply so a warm layer is advised.
Children can join but infants must sit on laps during transport; specialized infant seats are available—check with the operator before booking.
Walks in Todra and Dades are short to moderate, involving uneven terrain and some scrambling in places; good footwear and steady balance help.
The route follows centuries-old caravan tracks; fortified kasbahs like Ait Ben Haddou grew where trade routes needed defense and administration.
Desert ecosystems are fragile—stick to marked paths, avoid disturbing dunes and support local guides who practice low-impact camping and waste removal.
