Ziua 2 · Herbal tea >> Tenghir >> Gorge DE Todra >> Erfoud >> Merzouga

1. 1

   Boumalne Dades

   o oră

   Traveller crossings, valleys of roses and two-tone kasbahs: even on paper, the Dades Valley stretches the imagination. From the dreaded High Atlas in the north to the Jebel Saghro Range DE Accientée in the south, the valley is dotted with oases and palaces made of raw bricks that give the region its nickname DE Tale DE Fairies - Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs. Some of the best views are EN only seen on foot, along cattle trails hidden between the Dades and Todra Gorges and nomadic roads through the Saghro.

   This giant ammonite is one DE the treasures that make the Erfoud region, DE some 30,000 inhabitants, "the largest open-air fossil museum in the world," according to geologists and archaeologists.

   During the primary era (about 500 million years BC), southeastern Morocco "was covered by the sea", before DE became this oasis of fossilized coins.

4. 4

   Rissani

   35 min

   Although Morocco has so DE places of interest, I always say that its greatest heritage is a living heritage: its people, its culture and its festivals.

   That’s why visiting Rissani on a day other than Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday would mean DE not doing justice to the essence DE this city, as you would miss a unique opportunity DE rent with its past by visiting its lively souk (Traditional Point of Sale) where all the local DE merchants come to do business.

   More than likely, we will park our vehicle in the parking lot to the south and cross a small area with temporary stalls. Here you can admire one DE the most photographed places DE the city: an area populated by donkeys, which is both a free parking for donkeys and a place to buy and sell donkeys.

5. 5

   Merzouga Desert

   14 ore Intrarea inclusă

   Located in the south-east of Morocco, 50 km from Erfoud, arriving at the village DE Merzouga has a nice surprise in store. After passing through beautiful and varied landscapes, you find yourself facing an unforgettable panorama: the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Depending on your time of arrival, they will be draped in a yellow or ochre color that will evolve during DE day.

   Upon arrival in Merzouga, you will immediately be immersed in another universe. The Saharawis, the famous blue men with indigo blue cheichs, welcome you. The camels and their camels too!
