Tour Plan
Your journey begins bright and early as we leave the busy streets of Marrakech behind. The fresh mountain air awaits as we cross the High Atlas Mountains, winding through the scenic Tizi n’Tichka pass—one of Morocco’s most breathtaking roads.
Along the way, we stop to explore the famous Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar that feels like stepping into a movie set (and yes, several were filmed here!).
From there, we head to Ouarzazate, known as the "Gateway to the Sahara." After a short visit, we continue toward the Dades Valley, passing through charming villages and dramatic rock formations. You'll spend the night in a cozy hotel surrounded by nature.
Tip: Don’t forget your camera—sunsets here are magical!
After breakfast, we hit the road towards the Todra Gorges. Towering limestone cliffs frame a narrow riverbed—perfect for a peaceful walk or a few striking photos.
Next, we travel through desert towns and palm-filled oases until we reach Merzouga, where your Sahara experience truly begins. Swap your ride for a camel trek into the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Yes, riding a camel into the sunset is as dreamy as it sounds!
Your night will be spent in a Berber desert camp, with traditional food, music under the stars, and the peaceful silence of the dunes.
Feeling adventurous? Climb a dune before bed to stargaze in total silence. It’s unforgettable.
Wake up early to catch the sunrise over the golden dunes—it’s worth it! After breakfast, we ride back to Merzouga by camel or 4x4 and begin our journey toward Ouarzazate.
We pass through Rissani, known for its bustling souk and deep history. Then, we drive along the Draa Valley, home to the longest river in Morocco, lined with thousands of date palms.
In the evening, we reach Ouarzazate again and check into a comfortable hotel. It's a relaxing end to a day full of cultural gems and desert views.
Did you know? Rissani was once a major caravan center linking Timbuktu to Marrakech!
On the last day of your 4 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga, we cross the High Atlas Mountains once more. Enjoy a scenic ride with chances to stop for photos, stretch your legs, and soak up the last views of this wild region.
We’ll reach Marrakech by afternoon or early evening, where your desert adventure ends, but the memories stay forever.
