Good to know

- Splitting it over two days with a night near Ouarzazate is much more comfortable.
- The mountain pass can be affected by snow or roadworks in winter.
Questions
Is it really possible in one day?
Yes, but it is a very long day. We usually suggest two days if you have the time.
Can this be combined with the desert?
Yes, as part of a multi-day trip towards the Dadès valley and Merzouga. Describe it in your request.
