4-day southern loop — Dades, Todra and Merzouga
Four days is the three-day tour with room to breathe: the same essentials — Aït Ben Haddou, Dades, Todra, the dunes — with shorter stages, real time in the gorges, and a return through the Draa valley rather than a straight line back.
It is the version we recommend whenever the calendar allows: the same cost per kilometre, less fatigue, more memories.

Frequently asked questions
What is the concrete difference from the 3-day?
Shorter driving days, time in the gorges, and a loop route that avoids repeating the same road.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes — better than the 3-day: shorter stages change everything with children.
Can we extend further south?
Yes — the deep Draa valley, Erg Chegaga: that is tailor-made territory, let’s talk.
