Upon, we arrive at the Sahara Desert of Merzouga, you have the opportunity to contemplate the change in sand colors according to daylight, especially when sitting on top of these dunes, which are the highest in Morocco.

Good morning! A new day brings new adventures. Pack your bags, say goodbye to the Sahara Desert, and let’s start the day by driving to Rissani, the center of the honorable Alawite state’s establishment.

They are solid rocky components that do not break easily, have a red color, and reach a height of at least 300 meters. The turbid Todgha Valley, flowing year-round, penetrates them. Take a walk along the river, then head back to Boumalne Dades for an overnight stay in a lovely riad with a breathtaking panorama.
