After breakfast, we continue on to the oasis of Skoura, where several historic Kasbahs, some sadly in ruins, remain among the palms.

These items are well-known and highly appreciated across Morocco. We’ll have lunch in the lovely Todgha gorges. Then we’ll continue riding to Merzouga via Erfoud. Then in Merzouga, you’ll take a two-hour camel ride over the dunes to the camp.
Dinner and a night’s sleep are in a traditional nomadic tent, but after dinner, we congregate around the fire from underneath the sky full of stars and sing music.
