3 Days Desert Tour From Marrakech

Your 3-day desert tour from Marrakech begins at 8:00 AM with a pick-up from your riad or hotel. We leave the city behind and travel through the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass at 2,260 meters. Along the way, we stop to admire scenic Berber villages and capture amazing views.

Next, we visit the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a famous UNESCO World Heritage site known for its traditional Moroccan architecture. Many movies, including Gladiator and Game of Thrones, were filmed here. You’ll have time to explore the kasbah before enjoying a delicious lunch.

After lunch, our journey continues along the “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs”, passing through Ouarzazate, Skoura, and the Valley of Roses in Kalaat M’Gouna. By afternoon, we arrive at the stunning Dades Valley, where we explore the unique “Monkey Fingers” rock formations if time allows. You’ll spend the night in a comfortable hotel, enjoying a peaceful stay in the valley.

After breakfast, we continue our 3-day Sahara desert tour from Marrakech, heading towards Tinghir Oasis. Along the way, we pass through beautiful Berber villages and lush palm groves. We then stop at the impressive Todra Gorge, a canyon with towering 300-meter-high cliffs, where you can take a short walk through the gorge.

By afternoon, we reach the Merzouga desert, where your unforgettable camel trek begins. You will ride camels across the golden Erg Chebbi dunes, stopping on a high dune to witness a breathtaking sunset over the Sahara. After this magical experience, we continue to a luxury desert camp, where you will be welcomed with traditional Moroccan mint tea.

Enjoy a delicious Berber dinner, followed by an evening of music and drumming around the campfire. Under the vast starry desert sky, you can relax and soak in the beauty of the Sahara Desert before sleeping in your comfortable tent.

Wake up early to witness a stunning desert sunrise from a nearby dune. After breakfast, you can either ride camels back to Merzouga or take a 4×4 transfer. From there, we start our return journey, taking a different scenic route through the Draa River Valley, Morocco’s longest river.

We make stops along the way to admire the landscape and enjoy a relaxing lunch in Ouarzazate. Afterward, we continue our drive back to Marrakech, passing through the High Atlas Mountains once again. By evening, we drop you off at your accommodation, marking the end of your 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga Desert.
