Itinerary: 4 Days desert Tour From Marrakech

  1. Day 1

    Marrakech – Ouarzazate – Dades Gorges

    Your adventure begins in Marrakech, where we’ll pick you up in the morning and head towards the spectacular High Atlas Mountains. As we climb through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, you’ll see beautiful mountain landscapes, Berber villages, and valleys stretching below you.

    We’ll stop along the way to enjoy the views and take some photos before continuing towards Ait Ben Haddou. Take your time exploring this famous ancient kasbah, walking through its narrow streets and discovering the stories behind one of Morocco’s most impressive historic sites.

    From Ait Ben Haddou, we continue through Ouarzazate and the beautiful Skoura palm oasis before following the famous Road of a Thousand Kasbahs towards the Dades Valley.

    After a day full of scenery and discoveries, we’ll arrive at your accommodation where you can relax and enjoy a well-deserved dinner.

  2. Day 2

    Dades Gorges – Todra Gorges – Rissani – Merzouga

    After breakfast, we continue our journey towards Tinghir and the spectacular Todra Gorges. We’ll take a walk through the canyon, surrounded by enormous red cliffs, and enjoy one of the most impressive natural landscapes in southern Morocco.

    From Todra, we continue through the changing scenery of southeastern Morocco, passing through Erfoud and Rissani before reaching Merzouga. Then comes one of the moments you’ve been waiting for: your camel trek into the Sahara Desert.

    As you ride across the golden Erg Chebbi dunes, watch the desert change color as the sun begins to set. When you arrive at your desert camp, enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner, local music around the campfire, and an unforgettable evening beneath the stars.

  3. Day 3

    Merzouga – Draa Valley – Agdz – Ouarzazate

    Wake up early and step outside to watch the sunrise over the Sahara dunes. It’s a peaceful and unforgettable moment, especially after spending the night in the middle of the desert.

    Our journey then continues through the spectacular Draa Valley, where thousands of palm trees create a striking contrast with the surrounding mountains and desert landscape.
