An unforgettable three-day desert tour to the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, concluding with the nine-hour drive back to Marrakesh. Due to the long driving time it is preferable to take a minimum of 4 days for a desert tour from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi to break up the journey each way and give you time to explore all the beautiful sites along the way.
This memorable tour– starting and finishing in Marrakech– takes you on a journey to the south of Morocco through the Atlas and the Anti-Atlas Mountains. You’ll travel through Berber villages, Kasbahs, gorges, palm groves, canyons, oases and into the heart of Sahara Desert. Throughout the course of the tour you will visit some of the most interesting historical, geographical and cultural sites in Morocco and enjoy warm Moroccan hospitality and fresh cuisine (dates, olives, endless mint tea, freshly baked bread, olive oil, generous breakfasts and homemade tagines).
Our journey starts from Marrakech, where you will be welcomed by your driver/guide to start a comfortable tour in a modern and fully equipped vehicle. We will cross the Atlas Mountains via the Tizi N'Tichka Pass, which rises about 2200 meters above sea level, offering breathtaking panoramic views and passing Berber villages that bear witness to the ancient history.
On the way to Ouarzazate, we will stop to explore the historic Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and also known as the filming location for many international films and series.
Afterwards, we will continue our journey through the "Valley of Roses" and the famous Route of a Thousand Kasbahs, until we reach the Dades Valley. There, we will spend the night in a charming riad that will give us the opportunity to relax and recharge.
After an energetic breakfast, we will head towards the imposing Todra Gorges, formed by rock walls of more than 200 metres. Here you will have the opportunity to explore its most surprising corners on foot.
We will continue towards Merzouga, changing the vehicle for dromedaries that will take us to the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Our Berber tent camp will be the perfect place to enjoy a traditional dinner under the starry sky of the desert, where time seems to stand still and the stars tell ancestral stories.
Our day begins with a magical sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes, filling the horizon with dazzling colors. After a delicious breakfast and a refreshing shower, we will start our journey back to Marrakech, passing through the Draa Valley and the village of Rissani, famous for its old city and its lively traditional market. We continue to Agdez, where we will see the largest palm grove in North Africa, a scene that embodies the beauty of Moroccan nature. From there, we will re-cross the Atlas Mountains, to bid farewell to the enchanting scenes of southern Morocco with a last look before arriving in Marrakech, where our wonderful adventure ends.
