We wind past red slopes and green terraces as we head south through the magnificent valleys of Morocco's High Atlas Mountains, stopping along the way for a picnic lunch beside a sparkling river. Visit a movie studio behind the scenes in Ouarzazate, often referred to as the "gateway to the Sahara," to see how the surrounding dunes have been portrayed on screen.

Make your journey past oases of palm trees and jagged peaks today to the desert settlement of Merzouga. Settle into your accommodations at our hotel near the breathtaking Erg Chebbi, an enormous sand dunes sea formed by wind-blown sand. As the sun sets, savor a traditional Amazigh supper and then stretch a blanket over the desert sand to spend the evening stargazing. Stay the night at a resort.

Ride camels over the dunes this morning. Where you will spend a nice night at a camp near bid dunes.

This evening, take advantage of some spare time to relax at the hotel.

Pass through the Ounila Valley to arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage site at At Ben Haddou, an ancient fortified town. In a traditional ksar, housing is made of clay and is crowded together behind walls for protection.

Indulge in a delicious dinner and learn how to create a tagine firsthand to whet your appetite.

Cross the highlands to Marrakech, known as the "red city" because of its walls made of red clay, its houses, and its multitude of mosques.
