Day 02: Dades - Todra gorge - Erfoud - Merzouga desert / 4 hour drive

Today we will meet you at your hotel in Dades at 9H00am and start making our way to the desert camp. We will head onto Todra Gorges, a spectacular gash in the hills that surrounds Tinghir. The cliffs loom above as you approach the mouth of the Todra. Rising 300m, the honey-colored hues of the sheer face change constantly as the sun moves across the sky. Nomads can often be seen in the gorges. Many deserted Kasbahs, mud-brick villages, and green oases, dot the whole area: A photographer’s paradise! Then later on, the scenery will change yet again as we start seeing the first dunes from the road. The great "sand sea" of Merzouga city, a beautiful area of fine, apricot-colored sand stretches as far as the eye can see. Here we head off into the vastness of the dunes on a camel caravan accompanied by cameleers. The sturdy camel has been a mainstay of desert life over the centuries, being used to ship precious cargoes from Sub-Saharan Africa to the trading ports of the Mediterranean coast. You can ride or walk alongside as you slip into the pace of the caravan led by Berber guides and marvel at the awesome spectacle of the desert, solitude, and silence that comes with it. As the evening falls we will retreat to the comforts and luxury of our exclusive private desert camp where we will be greeted with mint tea and fresh dates or nuts. The camp is set in a beautiful spot between dunes and gives the impression of being alone in the vast African desert while enjoying the comforts of a nomad king. We will enjoy a delicious dinner followed by campfire time beneath the starry African sky. Nothing compares to the millions of stars, silence, and peacefulness of the Sahara. We sleep in luxury canvas tents feeling like we walk into one of the stories from The Arabian Nights. Night in the Camp - Breakfast and dinner included.
