ITINERARY OF 3 days shared tour from Marrakech :
Day 1 : Marrakech – Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou – Dades Valley
Your Shared 3 Day Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga begins with an early morning departure from Marrakech and a travel across the spectacular High Atlas Mountains. The trip via the Tizi n’Tichka pass provides breathtaking views of valleys and lonely Berber communities clinging to the cliff. Our first trip is the ancient ksar of Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its earthen architecture and part in iconic films such as “Gladiator” and “Lawrence of Arabia.” You’ll have time to explore the maze-like streets and possibly meet a local family.
Following a typical Moroccan lunch, we head to the Dades Gorge, passing via the picturesque Skoura oasis, which is noted for its lush palm groves and old Kasbahs. As we approach the Dades Valley, the terrain transforms into stunning rock formations and steep gorges. Check into your hotel, where you may relax and have dinner while taking in the valley’s stunning landscape.
Day 2 : Dades Valley – Tinghir Oasis – Merzouga Desert
After breakfast, we headed to the Todra Gorge, another of Morocco’s natural treasures. This location has high cliffs that can reach heights of up to 300 meters. You’ll have time to walk the gorge, enjoy the views, and take stunning photos.
Next, we travel to the Sahara Desert. We pass through Tinjdad and Erfoud, known for their fossils. Erfoud is the desert’s entryway. Arriving in Merzouga in the late afternoon, you’ll prepare for a camel ride over the Erg Chebbi dunes. It’s the day’s highlight. As you ride your camel across the shifting sands, the sunset will amaze you with the dunes’ colors.
You will arrive at a traditional Berber camp. You will receive great hospitality. Enjoy a fantastic Moroccan supper, followed by an evening of music by the campfire. Relax under the starry sky as night falls, far from the city lights.
Day 3 : Merzouga – Ouarzazate – Marrakech
Rise early to see one of the desert’s most breathtaking sights: the sunrise over the Sahara. The light stretches across the dunes, casting a golden hue. It makes for stunning images and a peaceful start to the day.
After breakfast at the camp, we begin our drive back to Marrakech. We’ll pass through Morocco’s longest river valley, the Draa. Date palms and historic kasbahs fringe it. We’ll make a stop in Ouarzazate, famed as the “Gateway to the Sahara” and home to film studios and the Kasbah Taourirt. Enjoy a relaxed lunch. Then, we’ll drive via the High Atlas Mountains, returning to Marrakech in the early evening.
This three-day desert tour ends with a drop-off at your Marrakech hotel or a central location. You’ll have wonderful memories of your Moroccan desert adventure.
