DISCOVER MOROCCO

In addition to your experience into the desert, this unforgettable week of adventure will take you to discover Morocco, a country extremely rich in traditions, architecture, colors and for its people.

You will start the MDS week in the province of Ouarzazate, in the south of the country, at the edge of the Sahara. It’s in this region, located in the middle of the Moroccan High Atlas Mountains, that you will live a unique experience during the MDS Morocco.

After discovering the desert, your MDS adventure will continue with a visit of the Ksar of Ait-ben-Haddou, a wonderful site that has marked the history of the region - a testimony of the southern Moroccan culture. The Ksar of Ait-ben-Haddou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and has been the decor of outstanding films and series, such as "Gladiator", "Game of Thrones", "Lawrence of Arabia", and many others.

You can also, if you wish, complete your discovery of Morocco by spending a few more days in Marrakech or Ouarzazate, before or after the MDS week.
