Epic 3-Day Sahara Desert Tour to Merzouga from Marrakech
Overview
About this tour
This is the ultimate Sahara experience. Our 3-day private tour takes you on an unforgettable journey from the vibrant streets of Marrakech to the majestic, windswept dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga. If you want to experience the true, breathtaking beauty of the desert, this is the adventure for you.
Your adventure begins as we pick you up from your Marrakech accommodation and ascend into the stunning High Atlas Mountains. We’ll cross the dramatic Tizi n’Tichka pass, stopping for incredible panoramic photos. Our first major stop is the iconic Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-protected kasbah you’ll recognize from films like Gladiator. After an immersive tour of this ancient city, we’ll journey onward through Ouarzazate, arriving in the beautiful Dades Valley for a relaxing evening and a delicious Moroccan dinner at a comfortable local guesthouse.
After breakfast, we travel to the spectacular Todra Gorge, a massive canyon with towering 300-meter rock walls, perfect for a short walk to appreciate the scale. From there, our journey continues towards the desert. As we approach Merzouga, the landscape transforms into the rolling, golden sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. Here, you will trade your vehicle for a camel and embark on a mesmerizing trek into the heart of the Sahara to witness a spectacular sunset. Your destination is a private, luxury desert camp where a traditional dinner awaits you under a brilliant canopy of stars.
Waking up early is a must. You’ll witness the magic of a Saharan sunrise as the light plays across the endless dunes—an unforgettable moment that is worth the entire trip. After a peaceful breakfast at the camp, you will ride your camel back to the edge of the desert to meet your driver. We then begin our scenic journey back towards Marrakech, traveling through the vast Draa Valley. We will carry the incredible memories of the desert with us, arriving back at your accommodation in the evening.
