From the Atlas to the Sahara: What to Expect

The road from Marrakech to the Sahara crosses the High Atlas at the Tizi n’Tichka pass, then winds past the kasbahs of Aït Benhaddou and Ouarzazate, through the Dadès and Todra gorges, before the dunes of Erg Chebbi rise from the horizon.

Whether you ride, hike or travel by 4×4, plan for changing temperatures: cool mornings in the mountains, warm afternoons in the desert.
