Merzouga Desert
DAY 2: Boumalen Dadès, Tinghir, Todra Gorge, Arfoud, and Merzouga Dunes.
Departure in the morning towards the Merzouga dunes. Following Tinghir, you will see the groves before venturing into the Todra Gorge. The limestone cliffs appear to be an aperture carved through the Todra Assif, which has dramatic peaks plunging to the river's bottom. The peaks climb up to 300 meters above the Todra, which originates in the High Atlas mountains. You may easily walk among the gorges and palm groves. Continue to the palm groves of Tinjedad, Touroug, and Erfoud after lunch. The journey will next take you to Merzouga, where you will have a camel ride through the beautiful dunes of Erg Chebbi, from where you will be able to watch the sunset. Sand dunes are dynamic artworks in the shape of draperies, with colors that change depending on the strength of the light. They exist like live walls beside the desert, with the tallest reaching up to 150 meters. Nomadic tents are used for sleeping at night.

The river flows on in a narrow trickle of water, providing a peculiar green tint in the heart of the Sahara. You will return to Marrakech after lunch.
