Your Marrakech desert tour 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 journey to the Rose Valley, which is renowned for its yearly Roses Fest. We’ll travel to Dades Gorge to spend the night in a riad or hotel there.

Day 3: Dades Gorge – Todra Gorge – Rissani – Merzouga desert

The next stop on our Marrakech desert tour will be Todra Gorge, a vibrant, enticing canyon that is well-known among outdoor enthusiasts. We’ll keep going through the Ziz Valley until we arrive in the oasis town of Erfoud, which is also known as the entrance to the Sahara desert and is noted for its distinctive fossils. There is a local shop where these objects may be bought as mementos, as well as a nearby factory where we can go and see how craftsmen and home décor made from fossils are manufactured.
After that, we’ll travel to Rissani to visit the local souk before continuing on to Merzouga through the desert. Sleep in a downtown hotel or riad.

Day 4: Merzouga desert

On the fourth day of our Marrakech desert tour, 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. With the assistance of knowledgeable guides, we exit the car and set off on a camel ride across the sand dunes until we reach the Merzouga Desert Camp, where we will spend the night in Berbere tents. A distinctive and traditional Berbere supper, capped off by tribal music around a desert fireplace, will make this wonderful night enjoyable and memorable.
