An original itinerary that takes you through the High Atlas and its 2 highest passes, but also lets you experience the magic of the desert and explore the Drâa Valley and the Dades and Todra gorges. It’s a tour for road warriors and those who want to enjoy as much of the landscape as possible in just 5 days.
DAY 1 : After your transfer to the hotel, this first day is devoted to acclimatisation, administrative formalities and a general briefing on the tour. The earlier you arrive in Marrakech, the more time you will have to explore Jemaa El Fena square and its lively streets. Welcome dinner.

DAY 2 : After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, you will be transferred to our departure base. Head due south towards the Tiz’nTest pass. We’re plunged straight into the High Atlas. An extraordinary route, but a region that bore the full brunt of the earthquake of 8 September 2023. After lunch with breathtaking views, we reach Taroudant after an epic descent of the pass.
