Large Mass Mortality of Trilobites Cambropallas telesto Middle Cambrian (approx. 521 million years ago) Alnif, Morocco
Trilobites are one of the oldest invertebrate species, appearing more than 500 million years ago during the Cambrian and disappearing during the mass extinction at the end of the Permian, approximately 250 million years ago. Perhaps the most famous fossils after the dinosaurs, more than 17,000 species of trilobite have been discovered all over the world. As marine arthropods, they are the extinct relatives of crustaceans, insects, arachnids, and centipedes. Trilobites are the earliest creatures known to have developed eyes for sight. Their name derives from the Greek for "three-lobed," and they would have used their plated armor to roll up into a ball to protect their more vulnerable undersides. This strategy served them well as they survived for almost 300 million years, making them one of the most successful species ever to live on Earth.

Day 1: Marrakech – Atlas – Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Skoura – Dades
The journey begins in Marrakech, an ancient capital of Morocco. Departing at 8 am, I will drive through the High Atlas Mountains, the highest peak in Morocco at 4,167m, passing through the Tizi N'Tichka pass. We will take a break for mint tea or coffee at an Amazigh hamlet. Next, I will visit the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and continue towards the Dades Valley. Passing through Kalaat M'Gouna and the Skoura Amazigh villages, I will arrive at the Dades Gorge to spend the night.
Day 2: Dades – Todra Gorges – Jorf – Erfoud – Merzouga (Camel Ride & Night in Desert)
After breakfast, I will continue through the Dades Valley, admiring the rock formations and Kasbahs. In the Todra Valley, I will walk along the river by the 300m high red cliffs, a favorite spot for rock climbers. Lunch will be in Rissani or Erfoud before heading to Merzouga, the village of golden sand. I will be welcomed with mint tea and then ride camels to a desert camp to enjoy the sunset and spend the night under an Amazigh tent.
Day 3: Merzouga – Rissani – Alnif – Nkob – Agdz – Ouarzazate
Early in the morning, I will wake up to watch the sunrise over the golden sands of Merzouga. After riding back to the village for breakfast and a shower, I will travel towards Ouarzazate, passing through diverse landscapes and villages. I will visit Rissani, where the Mausoleum of Moulay Ali Cherif, the grandfather of the current Moroccan king, is located. I will have lunch in one of the villages along the way and spend the night in Ouarzazate, known as the Hollywood of Morocco.
Day 4: Ouarzazate – High Atlas Mountains – Marrakech
After breakfast, I will start the journey from Ouarzazate, passing through the Valley of Roses, famous for its rose cultivation. I will visit the fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Continuing through the Tizi N'Tichka pass, I will take pictures of the breathtaking views.
