Departure from Marrakech early in the morning.
Traverse the High Atlas Mountains, discover Berber villages, and cross the Tizi n'Tichka Pass ("Pass of the Pastures") at an altitude of 2,260 m. Discover the ksar of Aït-Ben-Haddou. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this fortified village with ochre walls is highly representative of the architecture of southern Morocco, and famous for movie filming.
The journey then continues through the Draa Valley, lined with palm trees.
Arrive in M'Hamid El Ghizlane in the evening. At the end of the village, the road ends. You're ready to enter the vastness of the Sahara!
