The tour includes 5 nights across carefully selected traditional properties: a riad in Aït Benhaddou, a riad in the Dades Valley, a desert bivouac camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga, a traditional Berber kasbah in Agdez, and a riad in Marrakech. All accommodation is hand-picked for authenticity and comfort.
