Escape to the Moroccan desert

  • Erfoud
  • Erg Chebbi
  • Starlit night
  • High Atlas
  • Imazighen valleys

Want to disconnect for a few days and live something truly magical?

We propose an escape to the closest dune desert to Europe: the Erg Chebbi, in southern Morocco.

The route begins in Erfoud, known as «the gate of the desert», where we head into the Sahara in a 4x4 with private driver.

Ancestral traditions, local markets, desert colours and a night under the stars turn this experience into something unforgettable.

We then continue across the High Atlas range, crossing valleys, gorges and Imazighen villages where time seems to have stopped.

Three Saharan days worth a whole year

“Xaluca turned every day into a postcard. Sleeping under the Erg Chebbi stars after tea with nomads has been the most authentic thing we've ever lived.”

Morocco's backbone

The Moroccan High Atlas

The High Atlas range is one of Morocco's most striking and varied regions.

Its mountains run across the centre of the country and offer endless opportunities to discover spectacular landscapes, Berber villages and ancient caravan routes.

From the traditional earthen architecture of Aït Ben Haddou to cities like Ouarzazate, this region blends culture, nature and authenticity in every corner.

Cultural heritage

Fez, cultural and spiritual capital

Fez is one of the richest cities in history and culture in all of Morocco.

Its Medina, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, is considered one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the world.

Founded in the 9th century, Fez quickly became one of the leading cultural, religious and commercial centres of North Africa.

Today it remains famous for its mosques, madrasas, traditional markets and the largest tannery in the world, where ancestral leather techniques are still in use.
