Itinerary:

Day 1 – From Marrakech to Boumalne Dades

Our 3-day tour from Marrakech to the desert begins in the morning with departure from the Red City. We cross the majestic High Atlas Mountains, passing the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260 meters), with panoramic stops to admire Berber villages, mountain landscapes, and spectacular valleys.

Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou

The first major stop is the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This extraordinary example of earthen architecture represents one of the most famous kasbahs in Morocco and has been used as an international film set. We walk through its ancient walls, discovering the history of Saharan caravans.

Ouarzazate and Rose Valley

We continue toward Ouarzazate, known as the gateway to the desert. After a short stop, we travel along the beautiful Rose Valley, renowned for its cultivation fields and green landscapes contrasting with the surrounding arid environment. In the evening we arrive in Boumalne Dades, where we spend the night in a hotel or traditional riad.

Day 2 – Todra Gorges and Merzouga Desert

After breakfast, the second day of the desert tour from Marrakech leads us to spectacular natural scenery. We cross the Dades Valley and reach the famous Todra Gorges, an impressive canyon with rock walls up to 300 meters high.

Toward the Sahara: Erg Chebbi

In the afternoon we continue to Merzouga, passing Berber villages, oases, and palm groves. Upon arrival, the dunes of Erg Chebbi rise majestically before us, offering one of the most iconic landscapes of the Moroccan Sahara.

Sunset Camel Excursion

The most exciting experience of the trip begins: a sunset camel excursion in the desert. We cross the golden dunes while the sun sets on the horizon, creating unforgettable colors and light.

Night in the Desert Camp

We reach our desert camp in Merzouga, where a traditional Moroccan dinner and an evening with Berber music under the stars await us. Overnight in a private tent ensures comfort, silence, and an authentic Saharan atmosphere.

Day 3 – Merzouga and Return to Marrakech

The third day begins early with the incredible sunrise in the Sahara Desert, one of the most memorable moments of the entire tour. After breakfast at the camp, we return by camel or vehicle and begin the journey back to Marrakech.
