Wake early to witness the first golden rays of sunrise sweeping across the Erg Chebbi dunes, followed by a delicious breakfast at camp. Travel by private vehicle to the historic caravan market town of Rissani, then continue to Tinghir to walk along the crystal-clear river beneath the soaring 300-meter red limestone walls of Todra Gorges. Wind into scenic Dades Valley—famed for its 'Monkey Fingers' rock formations and kasbahs—to unwind in a charming boutique valley lodge.

Chefchaouen to Tangier
Journey from Tangier into the verdant heights of the Rif Mountains after visiting Cap Spartel and the legendary Caves of Hercules, before arriving in picturesque Chefchaouen.
