    This 5-day private desert tour is a round trip from Marrakech with two days in the Sahara, so the drives are spread out and you have real time in the dunes.

Day three is spent exploring the desert by 4×4 — nomad families, the Gnawa musicians of Khamlia and the Mifis mines — and on day four you visit Rissani and the Todra Gorge on the way to the Dades Valley. The last day passes through the Rose Valley back to Marrakech.
