Your 3-day joint tour from Marrakech to the Merzouga Desert begins with an early morning departure from Marrakech, as we travel through the majestic High Atlas Mountains.

The journey along the Tizi n'Tichka pass offers breathtaking views of the valleys and isolated Berber villages clinging to the mountainside.

Our first major stop is the ancient ksar of Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its earthen architecture and its role in iconic films such as "Gladiator" and "Lawrence of Arabia".

You will have time to explore the labyrinthine streets and perhaps even meet a local family.

After a traditional Moroccan lunch, we continue to the Dadès gorge, passing the picturesque Skoura oasis, famous for its lush palm groves and historic kasbah.

As you approach the Dades Valley, the landscape transforms into spectacular rock formations and deep gorges.

Check into your hotel, where you can relax and enjoy dinner, surrounded by breathtaking valley views.

After breakfast, we head to the Todra Gorge, another natural wonder of Morocco.

The region is famous for its majestic cliffs, which rise to 300 metres.

You will have time to hike through the gorge, admire the views and take some incredible photos.

Next, we head to the Sahara Desert, passing through the towns of
Tinjdad and Erfoud, the latter known for its fossils and as a gateway to the desert.

Arriving in Merzouga in the late afternoon, you will prepare for the day's highlight: a camel ride through the central Erg Chebbi dunes.

As you ride a camel through the rolling dunes, marvel at the changing colours of the dunes as the sun sets.

Your destination is a traditional Berber camp, where you will be greeted with warm hospitality.

Enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner, followed by an evening of music around the campfire.

As night falls, relax under the stars, away from the lights of civilization.

Rise early to witness one of the most spectacular sights in the desert: the sunrise over the Sahara. The light slowly spreads across the dunes, casting a golden hue that makes for perfect photographs and a peaceful start to your day.

After breakfast at the camp, we begin our journey back to Marrakech. On the way, we’ll pass through the Draa Valley, the longest river valley in Morocco, lined with date palms and ancient Kasbahs. We’ll make a stop in Ouarzazate, known as the “Gateway to the Sahara” and famous for its film studios and the Kasbah Taourirt. Enjoy a leisurely lunch before continuing our drive over the High Atlas Mountains, arriving back in Marrakech in the early evening.

This group 3 days desert tour concludes with drop-off at your Marrakech hotel or a central location, leaving you with unforgettable memories of your Moroccan desert adventure.
