Then travel onward to the Serdrar Desert, where wide-open landscapes and dunes create a peaceful desert experience away from the crowds. Settle into your desert accommodation, enjoy dinner, and take in the night sky.
Wake up to the stillness of the desert morning. After breakfast, begin the return journey to Marrakech, with stops along the way for photos, rest breaks, and lunch.
