Picture this; you wake up in your snow camp high up in the Atlas Mountains, the sun just starting to peek over the horizon. You step outside and take in the fresh mountain air and the stunning views of the landscape before you.

After a hearty breakfast, you set off on your trek for the day, crossing glaciers and traversing through snow-covered valleys. As you make your way higher and higher, the views just keep getting better and better, learning about the local flora and fauna from your experienced guide as you go.

Eventually, you reach the summit of Toubkal, the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains. You can see for miles in every direction, and it’s an absolutely incredible feeling. After a well-deserved rest, you make your way back down the mountain and return to your camp for the night.

The next day, you wake up early for a total of 180° – instead of snow-capped mountains, you’re now in the desert. You start your journey through the sand dunes of Merzouga, learning about the desert ecosystem from your local guide. The desert landscape is like nothing you’ve ever seen before, and you can’t help but be mesmerized by it.

As the sun starts to set, you watch in awe as the sky turns beautiful shades of orange and red. You saddle up your camel as you continue to trek through the desert. You’ll ride for hours, the only sound being the gentle footsteps of your camel and the occasional desert animal. You can see the sand dunes stretching for as long as the eye can see.

After a few days of trekking, you’ll head back to Marrakech, where your adventure began. But this time, you’ll have memories that will last a lifetime.
