Day-by-Day Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Ouarzazate – Todra Valley – Merzouga

   Our tour begins with a pick-up from your accommodation at 8:30 am on the first day. Our friendly driver will then take you on a journey through the stunning valleys of Morocco. Our first stop is the Rose Valley, where we will witness the production of rose water and oil before continuing our three-day journey from Ouarzazate to Merzouga desert.

   We will then pass through the Dades Valley without stopping before arriving at Todra Valley. Here, we will take some time to appreciate the breathtaking panoramic views and visit the Jewish villages. We will then delve deeper into the mountains to reach the stunning Todra Gorge, where we will enjoy a nice walk.

   Following this, we will proceed towards Merzouga, passing through small villages and stopping for lunch. Once we arrive in Merzouga, you will have the opportunity to ride camels, witness the beautiful sunset, and spend the night in a Desert camp.

   After experiencing a magical night in a desert camp filled with Berber music, a warm campfire, and a delightful dinner, our next day begins with breakfast in the same location.

   Our driver will then take us to visit the nomads living near the border, where we will enjoy a cup of tea with them and engage in friendly conversation. This will provide us with the unique opportunity to learn about the nomadic lifestyle in Merzouga.

3. Day 3

   Merzouga – Rissani – Draa valley – Ouarzazate

   After a delightful breakfast at the hotel in Merzouga, we’ll set off for Rissani, the capital of the Tifilalt region. It’s renowned for hosting the largest local market in the area, and it was once the most coveted spot for caravans arriving from Africa.

   Our journey will continue towards Alnif, where we’ll savor a delicious lunch. Afterward, we’ll be treated to the mesmerizing sight of acacia trees and make our way to the largest valley in Africa. Our route will take us through the mountains and eventually lead us to Ouarzazate, the final destination of our 3-day desert tour from Ouarzazate.
