4-Day Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech with Erg Chebbi Camp Stay

• Meet your tour guide at your hotel or riad at 07h30 and begin the tour from Marrakech.
• Wind through the Atlas Mountains over the Tizi N' Tichka Pass. The pass rises to 2,260 meters above sea level, so the views are quite splendid. Plenty of stops are made for taking in the scenery and photography.
• Arrive in Ouarzazate and visit Taourirt Kasbahs. Have lunch at leisure.
• Continue to Zagora through the Draa Valley. This amazing river has given life to a huge oasis stretching about 200 km at the foothills of the Anti-Atlas Mountains. Along the way, several palm groves bring their shade between Kasbahs and Ksours dotted with fields of corn, barley, vegetables, and henna plantations.

Dinner and overnight in Zagora.

• Cross the volcanic peaks of the Anti-Atlas Mountains, driving southeast across surreal landscapes past oases located in the middle of nowhere. Stop for lunch at the oasis of Alnif.
• Carry on to Merzouga and then to Erg Chebbi, where your Sahara desert camp is located.
• Switch your means of transportation to camels and enjoy an Erg Chebbi dunes camel trek to witness one of the most sought-after views on the planet: Erg Chebbi's dramatic sunset over the colour-changing dunes.
• Return to your camp and get ready for a delicious Moroccan dinner under the stars while being entertained by local nomads playing their drums. Don't miss the clear night sky and its stars before you go to bed.

Overnight stay.
