Tour Plan
Your adventure begins in the vibrant city of Marrakech. As we drive through the twisting roads of the High Atlas Mountains, each mile reveals more of Morocco’s heart. The views? Simply unforgettable. Snow-dusted peaks, tiny Berber villages, and colorful valleys guide us eastward.
Soon, we arrive at the ancient village of Aït Ben Haddou. This ochre-colored kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has stood proudly for centuries. You might recognize it from movies like Gladiator or Game of Thrones. As you wander its narrow alleys, you’ll feel time slow down.
Next, we reach Ouarzazate, the gateway to the desert. Known as the “Hollywood of Africa,” it offers a striking blend of cinema and culture.
As the sun dips lower, we follow the winding roads to the dramatic Dades Valley. With its deep canyons and thousand kasbahs lining the cliffs, it feels like something out of a dream. You’ll spend the night in a charming guesthouse tucked between the rocks, where the stars begin to whisper the Sahara’s secrets.
After breakfast, we journey towards the towering Todra Gorge. With walls that soar over 300 meters high, this natural wonder offers the perfect mix of peace and awe. Take a slow walk through its cool, shaded paths while the sound of water dances beside you.
By afternoon, the landscape changes. The red earth turns golden as we reach Merzouga, the gateway to the Erg Chebbi dunes—some of the tallest in the Sahara. Here, the magic truly begins.
Your camel ride starts just before sunset. As your camel sways gently through the dunes, the sun paints the sky in glowing oranges and deep purples. With each step, the silence grows deeper. There are no buildings here, no cars—only sand, sky, and the heartbeat of the desert.
As darkness falls, we arrive at your luxury desert camp. Soft carpets, warm lanterns, and friendly smiles greet you. After a hearty dinner, you’ll gather around the fire. The drums begin. The Berber rhythms rise. And above you? A sky scattered with endless stars.
This night is more than special—it’s a memory carved into your soul.
Before dawn, step out onto the sand. Watch as the sun slowly lifts the darkness from the dunes. The world turns golden, quiet, and alive. This is the kind of beauty that words can’t capture—but your heart will never forget.
After breakfast, we begin the journey north. The desert fades behind us as we climb into the Middle Atlas Mountains. Along the way, we pass through Erfoud, famous for its fossils, and Midelt, a peaceful mountain town surrounded by apple orchards.
The changing landscapes will leave you in awe—from desert dunes to cedar forests and green valleys. You might even spot wild monkeys playing in the trees near Azrou!
By late afternoon, we reach Fes, the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco. Though your Morocco Sahara Desert Tour ends here, the memories and magic will stay with you forever.
