Day 2: Merzouga Desert - Ouarzazate - Atlas Mountains - Marrakech

In the morning we have a “Date with the sunrise”. In the middle of the desert, waking up early is a chance to contemplate the most spectacular sunrise you´ve ever seen at the top of a dune close to the camp.

Then we return to Merzouga on the camels where a delicious breakfast is waiting for us. Having regained strength we start our last trip day going through the arid pre-desertic area where we´ll meet the “acacia”, typical tree of this landscapes. On the way to the Draa valley we´ll make some stops to enjoy the beautiful views of the river that gives name to the valley. Its the longest river in Morocco, going through the hole country reaching Mauritania.

Our trip continues towards Ouarzazate going through the Anti Atlas. We´ll have some free time for lunch in town and in the afternoon we start off our road again to Marrakech reaching about 8pm. Transfer to the hotel and end of our services.
