Day 2: Dades Gorges – Gorges of Todra – Merzouga.
After breakfast we’ll pick up the march toward the valley of the Dades and we cross the impressive gorges of Todra. At this point we will be until time to eat.
With the renewed energy, we will take the road to Merzouga and epiphytic plants the Palm Grove of Jorf (which is said to be the place where come the best dates) and Erfoud, a nice town where you can visit a workshop of marble.
Once in Merzouga and, after recovering from the impressive image of its sand dunes, we will leave the 4X4 to get into the desert to riding a camel in search of the camp where we spend the night. In this camp we will enjoy one of the most authentic dinners throughout Morocco.

Amazed at the shapes and colors of these mountains we reach Tazarine (important Berber people), N’kob, and finally to the Draa Valley and its stunning palm grove.
