Next, we visit the dramatic Todra Gorge, where towering cliffs create a narrow, lush valley. Take a leisurely walk, soaking in the stunning scenery.

In the afternoon, we continue to Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara. Experience a camel trek across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, where you can enjoy a magnificent sunset from the saddle of your camel.
