This 3 days Agadir desert tour is a scenic and cultural journey that takes you from the Atlantic city of Agadir to the majestic Sahara Desert of Merzouga, and finally to the vibrant city of Marrakech. Along the way, you’ll experience the beauty of the Anti-Atlas Mountains, explore traditional Berber villages, and discover the famous kasbahs of Ouarzazate.
The highlight of the Agadir desert trip is an unforgettable camel ride across the golden dunes of Merzouga and a night spent in a luxury desert camp under the stars. The route continues through the lush Draa Valley and over the High Atlas Mountains, offering spectacular landscapes and a deep connection to Morocco’s desert culture. This tour is ideal for travelers seeking a short but rich desert experience from Agadir to the Sahara, with a memorable finish in Marrakech.
Your 3 days Agadir desert tour starts early in the morning from Agadir as you drive through the beautiful landscapes of the Anti-Atlas Mountains. The first stop is Talouen, a small town famous for its saffron farms. You will have a chance to visit a saffron cooperative and learn how this valuable spice is harvested. Then the road continues to Taznakht, a village known for its traditional Berber carpets.
If you’re interested, you can visit a local carpet workshop and see how women weave colorful designs by hand. After lunch, the drive takes you through rocky hills and wide-open valleys until you reach Ouarzazate, known as the “Gateway to the Sahara.” Here you can explore the famous Kasbah Taourirt or take a walk in the peaceful city streets. You will spend the night in a comfortable hotel in Ouarzazate.
After breakfast, your desert tour continues through the Skoura oasis, where you’ll see old kasbahs hidden among palm trees. Then you’ll travel to the Rose Valley, a place known for its beautiful pink roses that bloom every spring. You can stop at a local shop to try rose-scented products. Next, you’ll pass through the stunning Dades Gorges with their strange rock formations and deep canyons.
The road continues to Tinghir and the famous Todra Gorges, where the cliffs rise high on both sides—perfect for walking and taking photos. Later in the day, you drive through Erfoud, known for its fossils, before reaching Merzouga, where the golden sand dunes of the Sahara appear.
Here, you’ll meet your camel and ride into the desert as the sun sets behind the dunes. At night, you will enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner and sleep under the stars in a luxury desert camp, with Berber music and warm hospitality.
Wake up early to catch the magical sunrise over the Sahara dunes, a truly unforgettable sight. After breakfast at the desert camp, you ride back by camel or 4×4 and begin the drive towards Marrakech. The road takes you through the quiet village of Agdez and into the long and green Draa Valley, full of date palms and small mud-brick villages. You will follow the valley’s path until it meets the mountains.
As you climb higher into the High Atlas Mountains, the road becomes winding and offers amazing views of deep valleys, small Berber towns, and snow-capped peaks in the distance (in winter). Along the way, you can stop for tea or photos in mountain villages. Finally, by late afternoon or early evening, you arrive in Marrakech, full of beautiful memories and unforgettable moments from the Agadir desert tour.
