There is so much to see in this itinerary, it is only 5 days...you will be doing a lot of road instead of visiting...

Anayway, in J1 the telouet road is not totally paved, i know that landrovers anad 4X4 go there but not normal cars, but you can go to Ait benhaddou Kasbah directly without passing by telouet, which is a pity...only parts of the telouet valley road relating to the road of marrakech are paved...

J3, you can't go till erg chebbi by a renault clio... and the raod from Erfoud to Merzouga is not a good one

j5, which gorges de Drâa are you talikng about ..as you will be visiting kasbah tifoultout, which is only few km from ouarzazate, and going back to Marrakech..Obviously, it is a risk to use a car on long trails, but it is up to you...

Thanks Hicham , very kind of you

It sounds that you know the area well so I must think about 4X4 and short circuit for 5 days ,do you have an idea ? thanks in advance

Not at all 4fun,

Actually you can do up to 80% in the list on a normal car.. but if you want more freedom take a 4X4 drive car ..

Also it is possible to do the trip in 5 days and just forget about some places, for example, either see the dades or the todra gorges..or if you see one kasbah, it is enough and there is no need to see the others as they all look like, to a certain degree, in this case you can Visit Taourirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate City, best way as you will be taking a break in town.. Tifoultout kasbah is just the same as all kasbahs in the region..

ALso dedicate one night to Merzouga to spend the night under the moonlight..

if you have a 4X4 or not you can take another way back via Rissani alnif AGDZ...etc, this is in case you went to merzouga by Skoura, kalaa megouna , gorges, tinghir ....Erfoud..

the telouet valley is fantastic but i think you need a 4X4 to complete the road, if you don't , just drive untill there is some 20 or 30 ( i remember exactly ) and then take the road left taking to Ait Ben HAddou, you will see a part of the region and the kasbah..

Salam

correction Last paragraph: until there is some 20 or 30 jm left to warzazate..

i did this almost exact circuit with a peugeot 106, dont know why not with a clio ..

let me tell you : images you will be about to experience are just fascinating
