Your Shared 3 Days Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga begins with an early morning departure from Marrakech, as we journey through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. The drive along the Tizi n’Tichka pass offers stunning vistas of valleys and remote Berber villages clinging to the mountainsides. Our first major stop is the ancient ksar of Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its earthen architecture and its role in iconic films like “Gladiator” and “Lawrence of Arabia.” Here, you’ll have time to explore the maze-like streets and perhaps even meet a local family.
After a traditional Moroccan lunch, we continue to the Dades Gorge, passing through the picturesque Skoura oasis, known for its verdant palm groves and historic Kasbahs. As we approach the Dades Valley, the landscape shifts to dramatic rock formations and deep gorges. Check-in to your hotel, where you can relax and enjoy dinner, surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the valley.
After breakfast, we set off towards the Todra Gorge, another one of Morocco’s natural wonders. This area is famous for its towering cliffs, which reach up to 300 meters in height. You’ll have time to walk through the gorge, take in the sights, and capture some incredible photos.
Next, we head towards the Sahara Desert, passing through the towns of Tinjdad and Erfoud, the latter being known for its fossils and as the gateway to the desert. Arriving in Merzouga in the late afternoon, you’ll prepare for the highlight of the day: a camel trek into the heart of the Erg Chebbi dunes. As you ride your camel across the undulating sands, the changing colors of the dunes during sunset will leave you spellbound.
Your destination is a traditional Berber camp, where you’ll be welcomed with warm hospitality. Enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner, followed by an evening of music around the campfire. As the night deepens, relax under the star-studded sky, far 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 Marrakech to Merzouga tour concludes with drop-off at your Marrakech hotel or a central location, leaving you with unforgettable memories of your Moroccan desert adventure.
