Detailed Day Wise Itinerary

  • Day 1: Marrakech » Ouarzazate » Ait Benhaddou » Dades Gorges » Merzouga Desert[560Km]

    During this 2-day desert tour Marrakech to Merzouga, you'll relish a memorable night at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes in a Berber camp, following an enchanting camel ride led by an experienced guide. Following breakfast, your journey commences as we collect you from your Marrakech hotel or riad. Today, you'll traverse the Tizi N'Tichka Atlas pass, savoring sweeping mountain views and passing through traditional Berber villages in the High Atlas region. En route to Ouarzazate, we'll pause to admire the picturesque Berber villages that blend harmoniously with the landscape.

    Our next stop is the famous Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. This remarkable location has been featured in numerous iconic films such as Gladiator, Obelix, The Mummy, The Jewel of the Nile, and Sahara with Penélope Cruz, to name a few. Continuing our journey, we'll visit the old Taourirte Kasbah to capture some stunning photographs. Lunchtime will be arranged in Ouarzazate or when it best suits your schedule.

    We'll then traverse the stunning landscapes of roses, Boumalne Dades, Tinghir (with a potential visit to Todra Gorge if time allows), Tinjdad, Jorf (pausing to observe an irrigation system), and onwards to Erfoud. Here, you'll sense the onset of the Saharan oasis of Tafilalet. Our path leads us to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes, where our skilled camel handlers await to lead you on an adventure through these awe-inspiring dunes. Capture mesmerizing sunset and sunrise views and relish the sight of the expansive sand dunes atop your camel. Additionally, there's an opportunity for sandboarding on the highest dune.

    Afterward, your camels will guide you to the camp, where you'll delight in a delectable dinner by your tent. It's a remarkable night under the stars, with the chance to witness shooting stars, partake in Berber music and drum sessions by the campfire, and make lasting memories.

  • Day 2: Merzouga Desert » Ait Saouen Gorges » Ouarzazate » Marrakech[563Km]

    Early morning, we'll rouse you from slumber to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes. Following this magical experience, you'll indulge in a refreshing shower and savor a delicious breakfast, complete with Berber tea (Berber Wiski). Then, it's time to bid farewell to the desert and embark on the return journey to Marrakech.

    Our route meanders through diverse landscapes and quaint Berber villages, including the arid pre-desert region with its iconic "acacia" trees. En route to the Draa Valley, we'll make strategic stops to relish the scenic beauty of Morocco's longest river, which spans the entire country and extends into Mauritania.

    Continuing our journey, we venture through the Anti Atlas region, taking some leisurely time for lunch in Ouarzazate. As the afternoon unfolds, we resume our road back to Marrakech, aiming to arrive around 8pm. Upon reaching Marrakech, you'll be transferred to your hotel, marking the conclusion of our Marrakech to Merzouga 2-day desert tour.
