    3 days desert tour from Marrakech

    Day 1: Marrakech – High Atlas Mountains – Ait Ben Haddou – Dades Valley

    Your adventure begins as you leave Marrakech, crossing the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Marvel at the ever-changing scenery, from lush valleys to Berber villages clinging to the mountainsides.

    Your first major stop is the legendary Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore this ancient, fortified ksar with a guided tour, walking in the footsteps of cinematic heroes from films like Gladiator.

    Afterward, you’ll pass through Ouarzazate and the serene Skoura Oasis before arriving at the dramatic Dades Valley. Here, wind through the stunning Dades Gorges, famous for their unique “Monkey Fingers” rock formations. Your day concludes with an overnight stay in a charming riad nestled within the valley.


    Day 2: Dades Valley – Todra Gorge – Merzouga (Erg Chebbi)

    After breakfast, journey to the breathtaking Todra Gorge, where 300-meter-high limestone cliffs create a paradise for climbers and photographers. From there, the landscape transforms as you travel deeper into the Sahara, arriving at the edge of the golden Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga.

    The quintessential desert experience awaits: a sunset camel trek across the serene sands. As the sun dips below the horizon, you’ll arrive at your luxury desert camp.

    Enjoy authentic Berber hospitality with mint tea, a delicious dinner, and live music under a blanket of stars. You’ll spend the night in a private, well-appointed tent with modern comforts.


    Day 3: Merzouga – Draa Valley – Anti-Atlas Mountains – Marrakech

    Wake early to witness the unforgettable spectacle of a Sahara sunrise painting the dunes in shades of gold and red. After breakfast at the camp, begin your return journey, traversing the vast Draa Valley with its endless palm groves and ancient kasbahs.

    The route continues through the rugged landscapes of the Anti-Atlas Mountains, offering final glimpses of traditional Berber life. You will arrive back in Marrakech in the late afternoon, filled with memories of an incredible Moroccan adventure.
