The second day is a long one. And that means lots of interesting sights and experiences. The first stop of the day will be Tinghir or Tinerhir, a small town nestled between steep hills, a palm grove on the Dades River and farmland, with characteristic mud-brick buildings.

In Tinghir, we'll make a detour to visit the Todra Gorge, one of the most stunning spots on this 3-day Morocco tour. It's a narrow canyon with vertical walls, formed by this small river, on whose banks a footbridge has been built to admire this enclave, a dream for photographers and climbers.

Back on the road, the landscape is interspersed with palm groves, ancient kasbahs and humble villages. Erfoud marks a milestone on the route, heralding the ever-closer presence of pure desert and inviting us to discover the great variety of fossils to be found around the town. Some even date back to the time of the dinosaurs.

Shortly afterwards, in Merzouga, it's time to change vehicles for camels, not only for the experience they provide, but above all because they're the best way to travel through the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. We'll then arrive at the luxury tented camp where we'll spend our second night, and where we'll also receive dinner and the proverbial welcome tea.

Meals/ Dinner and Breakfast

After breakfast in Merzouga, The first stop of the day will be Rissani. One of its main attractions is its medina, which still bears witness to scenes from another era, such as its donkey parking area. Its bustling market and Islamic monuments, some of which are linked to the early Alaouites (Morocco's ruling dynasty), are other places of interest to the visitor.

 There's still one more visit to make: the Kasbah de Taourirt, which was one of the residential castles of the El Glaoui family, one of the country's most powerful in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The structure is a perfect combination of Berber sobriety and Moorish refinement, featuring adobe structures with chiaroscuro effects on the exterior, while the interior rooms are decorated with tiles, plasterwork and wooden coffered ceilings.

After visiting this astonishing kasbah, we head for Marrakech along the road that climbs to the Tizi n'Tichka pass. After this point, the descent begins through verdant valleys with villages and farms blending into the mountainous landscape.

On arrival in Marrakech, you'll have some free time in the afternoon if scheduled, as our driver will drop you off at your hotel or at a location of your choice. Our services will then conclude this 3-day tour of the desert and its surroundings.
