Dreaming of vast sand dunes, starry desert nights, and the rich culture of the Sahara? Our shared 3-day, 2-night tour from Marrakech to Merzouga offers an incredible opportunity to experience the heart of the Moroccan desert without breaking the bank. Join fellow adventurers on this unforgettable journey through breathtaking landscapes, charming Berber villages, and the mesmerizing Erg Chebbi dunes.
Day 1: Journey Through the High Atlas and Berber Hospitality
Our adventure begins in the vibrant city of Marrakech, where you'll meet your friendly and knowledgeable driver/guide. As we depart, the majestic High Atlas Mountains will rise before us, their snow-capped peaks (depending on the season) providing a stunning backdrop.
Our journey takes us through winding mountain passes, offering panoramic vistas and opportunities for photos. We'll traverse the famous Tizi n'Tichka pass, the highest major mountain pass in North Africa. Along the way, we'll stop at traditional Berber villages, allowing you to experience the local way of life and perhaps enjoy a refreshing mint tea in a traditional home.
A highlight of the first day is a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Benhaddou, a remarkable fortified village (Ksar) that has served as a backdrop for numerous Hollywood films. Explore its ancient alleyways and kasbahs, stepping back in time.
Continuing our journey, we'll pass through the Valley of Roses, known for its fragrant rosewater and rose products, and the dramatic Todra Gorges, where towering canyon walls narrow to a breathtaking passage. We'll spend the night in a comfortable hotel in the Dades Valley or Tinghir area, enjoying a traditional Moroccan dinner.
Day 2: Into the Sahara - Camel Trek and Berber Camp
After a hearty breakfast, we'll continue our drive towards the Sahara Desert. The landscape will gradually transform, hinting at the arid beauty that awaits. We'll pass through traditional Berber towns and villages, gaining further insights into the local culture.
Upon arrival at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga, the adventure truly begins! You'll embark on a memorable camel trek into the heart of the Sahara Desert. As you sway gently atop your camel, you'll witness the breathtaking spectacle of the sunset painting the golden dunes in vibrant hues.
As dusk settles, you'll arrive at our traditional Berber desert camp. Here, you'll be welcomed with warm hospitality, traditional music, and a delicious Moroccan dinner under a canopy of countless stars. Experience the magic of the Sahara night, perhaps trying your hand at sandboarding or simply relaxing by the campfire, sharing stories with your fellow travelers. Accommodation for the night will be in comfortable Berber tents.
Day 3: Sunrise Spectacle and Return to Marrakech
Wake up early to witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of the sunrise over the Sahara dunes. The colors of the sand shifting with the rising sun create a truly unforgettable scene.
After breakfast at the camp, you'll have the option for a final stroll on the dunes before we begin our journey back towards Marrakech. Our route will take us through different landscapes, offering new perspectives of Morocco.
