You will be picked up from your riad Marrakech location to start your 3-day desert tour from Marrakech adventure. You will soon leave the city behind as you travel through the High Atlas’s sceneries over the Tizi-N-Tichka pass, which is 2260 meters (7415 feet) above sea level. Enchanting Berber villages will be visited during several stops along the way.
One of the best examples of Moroccan architecture is this fortified village called Ait Ben-Haddou. Several well-known movies that were shot in the Kasbah, such as “Kingdom of Heaven” from 2005, “Babel” from 2006, “Prince of Persia” from 2010, “Game of Thrones” from 2012, and “David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet” from 2020. There will be plenty of chances for you to explore the interior of this historic Kasbah.
Following lunch, we will travel via Ouarzazate, Skoura, and Kalaat M’Gouna’s rose valley to reach the Dades Gorges along the 1000 Kasbahs road. We will visit the amazing rock formations known as the monkey fingers if we still have time when we get to the Gorges in the evening. Dinner and hotel accommodations.
Our next morning will start with a delicious breakfast to on your second day of your 3-day tour from Marrakech to the Merzouga Desert, you will proceed to Tinghir, where you will make a stop at a panoramic viewpoint that overlooks picturesque Berber settlements and an oasis teeming with palm trees. We will drive for a while deep along the valley to reach Todra gorge where you can walk alongside the Gorge, a 300-meter-tall canyon.
After lunch, we drive further to the southeast towards Merzouga desert where your camels awaits. As we get there, you will get on your camels for a breathtaking ride through the sand dunes of the Sahara Desert while enjoying the beauty of nature. In order to catch the sunset, you will stop on one the sand dunes to watch a beautiful sunset full of tranquility in the middle in the desert. Later, you ride your camels to the camp where you will get your private tent and rest before having a Berber dinner and enjoy Berber music around camp fire.
It is strongly advised to get up early to catch the sunrise from a nearby high dune. Following a delicious breakfast, you can choose to leave the camp in a 4×4 vehicle or on a camel. After that, drive back to Marrakech. But this time, via Morocco’s longest valley, the Agdz (1100 kilometers).
Feel to ask for a stop at any time as we will have a bit of long drive back to Marrakech. Still, we are taking a different route back to the red city till we get to Ouarzazate where will probably have lunch. This 3-day tour from Marrakech to the Merzouga Desert ends with a drop-off at your lodging.
