Itinerary of the desert tour from Marrakech:

Day 1: Welcome to Marrakech

Before starting our desert tour from Marrakech, we will have a walking tour of Marrakech medina. You will see the city’s top sights, including the well-known Jamma el-Fna Square, the Koutoubia Mosque, the souks, palaces, and museums. We’ll also visit neighborhoods including Majorelle, Gueliz, and The Menara Gardens. You’ll have the chance to wander around the city at your leisure after lunch at a neighborhood eatery.

Day 2: Marrakesh – Ait Benhaddou – Ouarzazate – Dades Gorge

Your desert tour from Marrakech begins today with a view of the Atlas Mountains as we wind our way through the Tizi-n-Tichka pass to Ait Ben Haddou, a Unesco World Heritage site that has been featured in films like Gladiator and the well-known HBO series Game of Thrones. The next stop is Ouarzazate, where we’ll see the Atlas Film Studios and a Kasbah. From Marrakesh, we’ll continue our tour to the Valley of Roses, well-known for its famous Jasmine Carnival, and then travel to Dades Gorge, where we’ll spend this night in a hotel or riad.

Day 3: Dades Gorge – Todra Gorge – Erfoud – Merzouga Sahara

On the third day of your desert tour from Marrakech, we will drive via Todra Gorge, a vibrant, confined gorge well-known to outdoor enthusiasts. We’ll keep going through the Ziz Valley until we get to Erfoud, an oasis hamlet that serves as the entrance to the Sahara desert and is renowned for its distinctive fossils. There is a nearby factory that manufactures fossil-based crafts and home décor, as well as a local shop where you may buy such goods as mementos.
After that, we’ll travel to Rissani to visit the local souk before continuing on to Merzouga through the desert. After stopping at a checkpoint, we get out of the car and ride a camel through the sand dunes, guided by knowledgeable drivers, to the Merzouga Desert Camp, where we’ll spend the night in Berbere tents. A distinctive and traditional Berbere supper, capped off by tribal music around a desert campfire, will make this wonderful night indelible.

Day 4: Merzouga desert

We will spend today touring the Merzouga Desert. With the choice of going camel trekking or touring in the comfort of a 4×4, you’ll have the opportunity to “do your own thing.” We’ll also go to Khamlia village, which is well-known for its folk music. We simply can’t pass up the chance to enjoy the Sahara desert’s baffling sunset behind the dunes. We’ll spend the night in a local hotel.

Continuing our desert tour from Marrakech with breakfast at the hotel, we’ll drive past Rissani and Erfoud before pausing for lunch at Midelt in the Atlas Mountains. After that, you can choose to stay the night in a nearby hotel or continue your exploration of Midelt at your own speed.
