Experience the magic of Morocco on this 3-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga. You’ll travel through the breathtaking Atlas Mountains, visit historic kasbahs, and explore scenic valleys before reaching the stunning Sahara Desert.

This tour offers the perfect blend of adventure, culture, and unforgettable landscapes in a short but unforgettable trip.
Depart Marrakech early and cross the stunning High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, enjoying spectacular views along the way. Visit the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, famous for its historic charm and film appearances. After lunch, drive through the Valley of Roses before arriving in Boumalne Dades, a beautiful town nestled in the Dades Valley. Spend the night in a guesthouse or hotel surrounded by dramatic rock formations.
After breakfast, explore the impressive Todra Gorge, with its towering cliffs and narrow canyon walk. Then continue your journey toward Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. In the afternoon, mount your camels and trek into the dunes to catch a breathtaking sunset. Spend a magical night in a luxury desert camp under the stars, complete with traditional music and dinner.
Wake up early to catch the sunrise over the dunes—a quiet, magical moment that makes the early alarm well worth it. After breakfast in the camp, you’ll ride the camels or take a 4×4 back to Merzouga village where your driver will be waiting. Then begins the journey back to Marrakech, taking a different route through parts of the Draa Valley, Morocco’s longest river valley, filled with date palms and traditional villages. You’ll stop for lunch along the way and enjoy scenic breaks as needed.
By evening, you’ll arrive back in Marrakech, with drop-off at your hotel or riad. Though short, this two-day tour gives you a taste of Morocco’s most breathtaking desert landscapes and timeless traditions.
