About this tour

The extra day makes a big difference: daily drives are shorter, no road is driven twice and you return via the palm-lined Draa Valley instead of retracing your steps.

Expect Skoura's oasis, both great gorges, a luxury camp in Erg Chebbi, a night in Ouarzazate and a guided walk inside Aït Ben Haddou before visiting the Glaoui kasbah at Telouet on the way home.
