As I entered the Todra Gorges in the middle of the morning, the massive walls of the canyon, 300 meters tall, made me feel very tiny and emphasize the grandeur of natural beauty of the Trip To Morocco.

Day 2 Todra Gorges -Erfoud- Rissani -Erg Chebbi (The 6 Days Ouarzazate to Fes via Desert and Atlas Mountains)

The Marrakech desert tour is best at the end of the afternoon, as we reach the foundation of the Dunes of Erg Chebbi. It is then that we get to know our beloved camel guide and begin the memorable camel ride which gradually goes over the sand ridges to our solitary camp. As the sun began to descend behind the dunes, and the sand took on the rich orange and violet hues, I sensed the surges of utter calm, and came to know the magic of the special Luxury Trip To Morocco.

Then we can see the unusual and beautiful town of Ifrane that has been called Little Switzerland due to its specific alpine style and clean streets. Also, ifrane is one of the unexpected sights you see in the 6 Days Ouarzazate to Fes via Desert and Atlas Mountains route by contrast with the old Moroccan towns that you have been exploring.
