Why this experience exists
"This 3-day desert tour offers an exhilarating journey from the vibrant city of Marrakech deep into the heart of the Moroccan Sahara, culminating at the iconic Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga."
About the experience
The adventure begins with a scenic drive across the majestic High Atlas Mountains, navigating the famous Tizi n’Tichka pass and pausing for breathtaking panoramic views. Day one combines natural beauty with cultural heritage, featuring a visit to the historic Aït Ben Haddou kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site, before continuing through Ouarzazate to the dramatic landscapes of the Dades Valley for an overnight stay in a charming auberge.
Day two plunges further into the desert’s allure, starting with an exploration of the spectacular Todra Gorges. The journey then leads to Merzouga, the gateway to Erg Chebbi. Here, the true desert experience begins with a memorable camel trek into the towering golden dunes, timed perfectly to witness a magical desert sunset. The night is spent in an authentic nomadic tent within a desert bivouac, complete with a traditional dinner and the incredible experience of sleeping under a canopy of stars.
Day three offers an early morning desert sunrise, a quintessential Sahara experience, before the return journey. The long drive back to Marrakech takes you through the beautiful Drâa Valley and Ouarzazate, bringing the unforgettable desert adventure to a close in the late afternoon.
This tour provides a rich tapestry of Morocco’s diverse landscapes, from mountain passes and ancient kasbahs to dramatic gorges and the vast Sahara. The inclusion of a private minibus and professional driver ensures comfort and safety, while the quad bike experience adds an exciting touch of adventure.
