Travel on our popular 3-day journey from Marrakech to the Merzouga desert, commencing in the vibrant city of Marrakech. Throughout this adventure, we will explore the enchanting sights of Morocco, including the formidable Kasbahs of Ait Ben Haddou and the renowned Atlas Studios in Ouarzazate.
The pinnacle of this excursion is undoubtedly the camel trek into the Merzouga desert, culminating in an overnight stay at a traditional Berber camp. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the desert landscape and savor a starlit dinner by the campfire.
On the third day, we’ll return to Marrakech via a different route, making stops at additional picturesque locations along the way.
Commencing our delightful 3-Day Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech, we'll pick you up from your accommodation or a designated meeting point. The journey kicks off with a scenic drive through the renowned Atlas Mountains, featuring the Tizi nTichka pass (2260m). Here, we'll pause to explore various Argan oil cooperatives, offering a glimpse into this unique industry.
Next on our itinerary is the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ait Benhaddou, celebrated for its distinctive towers and clay architecture—a perfect setting for numerous film productions. We'll take a leisurely break to immerse ourselves in the charm of this location.
Continuing our 3-day expedition from Marrakech to Merzouga, we'll treat you to a delightful lunch at one of Ouarzazate's premier restaurants, similar to the one in the previous city. Ouarzazate, known as Morocco’s Ouallywood, hosts the renowned Atlas Studios, a hub for film production and equipment rental. Notable productions such as Game of Thrones and Prison Break have found their way to this cinematic city. Following our visit to Atlas Studios, we'll journey to Boumalne Dades, where we'll spend the night amidst the captivating Dades Gorges.
Following breakfast, embark on the 1000 Kasbahs route towards Tinghir. Upon reaching this enchanting haven, take a leisurely stroll along the Todgha River banks, exploring Berber villages and Ksours along the way. The grandeur of the massive cliffs in the Todgha canyons will affirm the value of your morning excursion.
Indulge in a delightful Berber lunch amidst the Gorges before continuing your journey to Merzouga. Upon arrival at Erg Chebbi, rendezvous with your camel caravan at the road's end. Traverse the color-shifting dunes on your camel to witness a breathtaking sunset.
As darkness falls, reach your Sahara desert tent, and after setting it up, ascend one of the nearby dunes to relish the tranquility of the desert. A well-deserved Moroccan meal will be served under the stars. Prepare to test your drumming skills with the nomads around the campfire. Your hosts will regale you with Tamtam drums, and the nearby dunes will provide a perfect vantage point for witnessing a spectacular display of shooting stars and crystal-clear constellations.
Spend the night in your Sahara desert tent, immersed in the unique and magical atmosphere of the desert.
After breakfast at your luxury camp, you will mount your camels and ride back to
Merzouga. Since you are returning to Marrakech, you will need to leave early, around
8:00 AM. You will drive a different route back, passing through the town of Alnif, where
you will stop for lunch in Nkob. After lunch, you will continue driving directly to
Marrakech via the Ait-Saouen Pass. Your tour will end with your drop-off in the Red City
Marrakech.
