After a free lunch, we will continue through Ouarzazate, with the possibility of viewing the Kasbah of Taourirt from the outside, and then continue towards the Skoura palm grove.

The route will continue through Tinghir and the palm groves of Tinjdad and Touroug, where we will see villages, crops and ways of life of southern Morocco. Later, we will arrive in Erfoud, known for its fossils and stone workshops. Lunch will be at your own expense during the journey. <\/p>\n

In the afternoon, we will reach Merzouga, at the foot of the Erg Chebbi dunes. We will leave the vehicle and begin the camel ride, normally one camel per person, to enjoy the sunset and reach the camp. Guests who do not wish to ride a camel may request a 4×4 transfer in advance, subject to the confirmed package. <\/p>\n

It is also possible to request a visit with an official local Spanish-speaking guide. This service must be booked in advance and is not included in the basic tour package. <\/p>\n

At the end of the day, you will return to the same selected riad, where dinner will be served and you will spend the final night of the tour.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Our driver will pick you up with sufficient time to provide the private transfer to Marrakech Airport. If your departure is from the train station or another point in the city, the service will be adapted to the previously confirmed location. <\/p>\n

With this final transfer, your six-day journey through Marrakech, the southern kasbahs, the Todra Gorges and the Erg Chebbi dunes will come to an end. The Viajes Almoravid team will say goodbye, wishing you a pleasant journey home and hoping to welcome you again in Morocco. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n
