3-Day Marrakech to Merzouga Desert Tour with Erg Chebbi Camp

Your expedition sets off from Marrakech in the morning, where your professional driver will pick you up at your hotel. Cross the High Atlas via the spectacular Tichka Pass (2,260 m) to reach the famous Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient earthen Berber village offers a complete overview of traditional construction techniques.

After lunch, continue towards Ouarzazate to explore the historic Kasbah of Taourirt and the Cinema Museum (outside photo stop). From there, cross the magnificent landscapes of the Valley of Roses to arrive at the spectacular Dadès Valley and spend your first night in a comfortable hotel.

After breakfast, depart for the magnificent dunes of Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara, passing through the Todgha Gorges - a narrow canyon carved by the Todgha River, with limestone walls rising up to 300 or 400 meters - and visiting a Jewish quarter. Continue to the famous dunes of Erg Chebbi, spanning over 100 square kilometers and offering a true ocean of sand.

Embark on an unforgettable 1.5-hour camel ride across the dunes, admiring a spectacular sunset. Spend the night in a traditional desert camp under a starry sky, enjoying a traditional Moroccan dinner and campfire music.

Wake early to witness a sumptuous Saharan sunrise over the quiet dunes. After a hearty breakfast, enjoy the camel ride back to Merzouga.

Reboard your minibus for the return journey to Marrakech, admiring the ever-changing desert landscapes, lush oases, palm groves, and picturesque valleys along the way.
