The experience

Travel from the bustle of Marrakech to the silence of the Sahara. You'll cross the High Atlas by its mountain passes, follow valleys lined with palm groves and pause at legendary kasbahs along the way. By the third day you reach the Erg Chebbi, where a night in the dunes rewards the journey. Throughout, Hassan keeps the group small and the pace human, with time to stop wherever the road surprises you.
