4-Day Marrakech to Merzouga Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Marrakech – High Atlas Mountains – Skoura – Dades Gorges – Todra Gorge
The 4-day desert tour from Marrakech begins with a simple pick-up from your lodging. We will go via the vast High Atlas Mountains through the Tizi-N-Tichka Pass. You may request stops at any time during the trip, as your guide and driver are knowledgeable and will make stops at the most picturesque sites. After lunch in Ait Ben Haddou or Ouarzazate, we'll head through the Rose Valley and Skoura, then to Dades Gorges. You might like to see the breathtaking Amridil Kasbah, one of Morocco's earliest fortified villages situated in the lush oasis of Skoura. If you are traveling in the spring, we may arrange a special visit to see the valley in full bloom, adorned with a breathtaking display of roses. Expect to be surprised by the remarkable rock formations as we enter Dades Gorges, with the overlook known as "monkey fingers" offering a bird's-eye perspective. We'll eventually reach your hotel for some relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.
Day 2: Dades Gorges – Dades Valley – Merzouga Desert Camp – Overnight Camel Trek
Following a great breakfast, start your day with a gorgeous drive along the Dades and Todra rivers, surrounded by Berber settlements and palm trees. Your goal is Tinghir's Todra Gorge, one of the world's most beautiful valleys. After that, we will continue on to the Merzouga desert. Our driver will suggest stopping at a traditional Berber shop. We will then travel to Merzouga to see the Erg Chebbi Dunes, where you can take photos while wearing a Berber dress. If you like, you can buy desert-themed souvenirs or scarves; however, the shop's main purpose is to promote Berber culture. If you are not interested, simply advise your driver or guide and bypass the place. Prepare for a camel ride into the desert at Merzouga, where you can go sandboarding and enjoy the sunset over the dunes before sleeping in a nice desert tent. Enjoy delicious food and admire the Sahara's midnight majesty.
Day 3: Merzouga (Sahara Desert) – Rissani – Agdez – Ouarzazate
If you wake up early today, you'll get a treat with a beautiful sunrise over the closest dune. After a hearty breakfast at the camp, you can choose between two exciting routes to return to Merzouga town: a four-wheel-drive journey in a comfy vehicle or an adventurous camel trek. Khamlia village, located nearby, is well-known for its fascinating Gnawa music. We will stop here to listen to the wonderful songs of this Moroccan musical style. Our next destination is Rissani, a historic city that served as an important station along ancient caravan routes, significant in history as it marks the start of Morocco's current ruling family. If today falls on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday, we'll visit the city's authentic Moroccan souk. We will then continue on from Rissani to Agdez's gorgeous Draa Valley, a beautiful sight, before traveling to Ouarzazate to check in for our overnight stay.
Day 4: Ouarzazate – Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah – Telouet Kasbah – Marrakech
Our 4-day desert tour from Marrakech begins today with a delicious breakfast.

After enjoying Ouarzazate's charms, we will visit Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987. Many famous films and TV shows have used it as a backdrop, including "Gladiator," "Mummy," and "Game of Thrones."
