Gorges to Desert Trek
You start in gorges so deep the sun barely reaches the floor. You end on dunes where the sand stretches to Algeria. Between: the transition zone where mountains crumble into desert, where kasbahs guard oases, where the last villages cling to the last water. Seven days walking from canyon to sand sea.
Your Route

Day 1
Marrakech → Ouarzazate
The road climbs until the city disappears. Stone villages cling to slopes where light shifts by the hour. Switchbacks tighten around you like a held breath. By afternoon, the mountains release you into ochre silence. Ouarzazate waits—not as a destination, but as a threshold. The air here tastes different. Drier. Older. You've crossed something.

Day 2
Ouarzazate → Dades
East from Ouarzazate, the valley of roses begins before you see the first bloom. Skoura's palmeraie hides kasbahs behind every turn—Amridil still standing, still occupied. The road narrows through Kalaat M'Gouna, where the harvest perfumes entire towns each spring. By evening, the Dades Gorge walls close in, and you understand why they call this the road of a thousand kasbahs.

Day 3
Dades → Merzouga
Todra comes first. The canyon narrows until the sky becomes a slit. Walls rise three hundred meters—red, vertical, indifferent. Beyond Tinghir, the land flattens into hammada. Rocky nothing. Then Erfoud, then the first dunes. Erg Chebbi rises like a slow wave frozen mid-break. Camp waits at the edge. The sand is still warm.

Day 4
Merzouga → Fes
You leave the dunes at dawn. Sand still holds the cold. North through the Ziz—palms against red rock, gorge walls rising then falling. The Middle Atlas appears in cedar and mist. Barbary macaques sit like philosophers. By evening, Fes sprawls below—a thousand years of medina, smoke rising from a hundred hammams. You've crossed something. The desert hasn't left.
