Here is a description for this magnificent tour in southern Morocco: Discovery of the Kasbahs and landscapes of southern Morocco Departing from Marrakech, set off to discover the treasures of southern Morocco by crossing the majestic Tizi n’Tichka pass.

Then, head to Ouarzazate, nicknamed the "Gateway to the Desert", where you can visit the Kasbah of Taourirt and discover the film studios which have seen many international productions. Not far from there, the Skoura palm grove reveals its splendid kasbahs nestled in the heart of date palms. Following the road of 1000 kasbahs, you will enter the valley of roses, famous for its Damascus rose crops and its enchanting landscapes. You will then continue towards the impressive Dadès gorges, where the rock formations sculpted by time and erosion will offer you a breathtaking natural spectacle. After exploring the Berber villages of the region, you will head to Nkob, a charming village surrounded by kasbahs and barren mountains. You will then continue your journey towards the Chegaga dunes, one of the largest and wildest expanses of sand in the Moroccan Sahara, where you can live the unique experience of a night under the stars in a traditional bivouac. The next day, return to Marrakech via Foum Zguid and Taznakht, famous for its Berber carpets, before crossing the Tizi n'Tichka pass one last time, to return to the ocher city with unforgettable memories of this immersion in southern Morocco.
