Jour 1 — Le Haut Atlas and the gorges of the Dades

Le awakening is still doux at Riad Vendôme. After the breakfast Moroccan in the patio, your driver awaits you. La route s'rises towards the col of the Tichka (2 260 m), where the lacets traversent of the paysages to couper the souffle : Berber villages hanging for flancs de mountain, terrasses d'amandiers en fleur au printemps, neiges eternelles au loin. After Ouarzazate, the road s'enfonce in the valley of the Roses — en avril, of the kilometres de rosiers parfument the air. La day trip se termine in the gorges of the Dades, where of the kasbahs ocre se dressent like sentinelles by the side of the river. Dinner and night to Tineghir.

Jour 2 — The gorges of the Todra and arrival au Sahara

Le morning, promenade to pied in the gorges of the Todra : a canyon de 300 metres de profondeur, si narrow que the sun n'y penetrates que a few heures per day. The parois ocre and roses semblent touchr the ciel. Puis the road traverse the oasis of the Tafilalet, the villages de Tinejdad and Goulmima, up to Erfoud and your workshops de fossiles vieux de 350 millions d'years. En fin d'afternoon, the dunes of the Erg Chebbi apparaissent to the horizon — a ocean de sable golden that semble irreel. You go up to dos de camel for rejoindre the bivouac. Le sunset peint the dunes en rouge, en or, en violet. Le dinner Berber is served under the tente, au son of the bendir. Nuit under the stars of the Sahara.

Jour 3 — Lever de soleil on the dunes and the valley of the Draa

Awakening before l'aube. In l'darkness, you remontez sur your camel for atteindre the sommet a dune. Puis, lentement, the sun se rises. The dunes passent of the bleu au rose, then to the or pur. It is le moment que personne n'oublie. After the breakfast at the bivouac, departure towards the sud. Crossing of the Tafilalet, passage by Alnif and Tazzarine. La route longe then the valley of the Draa, the most longue palmeraie in Morocco — a ruban de verdure au mivenue for l'aridity. Nuit to the hotel.

Jour 4 — La Kasbah d'Ait Benhaddou and the return

Last day trip, last merveille : the Kasbah d'Ait Benhaddou, classified au patrimoine mondial de oneSCO. This forteresse de terre and de paille a served de decor to Gladiator, Game of Thrones and Lawrence d'Arabie. Retour at Riad Vendôme en fin d'afternoon, where the oriental hammam awaits you for a resetting up beauty after 4 days d'aventure.
