What are you going to do

DAY 1 : Marrakech - Ait Benhaddou – Ouarzazate – Boumalne Dades:

Our tour starting with pickup from your accommodation or a designated meeting point. Your first destination will be the renowned Atlas Mountains range, one of the most famous mountain ranges in the world. During the journey, we will make a stop at Tizi nTichka pass (2260m) to visit some cooperatives producing Argan oil. The tour also includes a visit to Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its unique towers and clay architecture, and a popular location for movie shoots. We will take a break here to relax and explore this remarkable place.

 

The next stage of our 3 days journey from Marrakech to Merzouga involves a stop for lunch at one of the top restaurants in Ouarzazate. This city is often referred to as the Hollywood of Morocco due to the presence of Atlas Studios, where movies are produced and equipment is rented. Many popular films and television series, such as Game of Thrones and Prison Break, have been shot in Ouarzazate. After exploring the Atlas Studios, we will proceed to Boumalne Dades where we will spend the night in the stunning Dades Gorges.

 

DAY 2 : Gorges Dades – Tinghir – Tinjedad - Merzouga:

On the second day of our 3 days Sahara desert tour from Marrakech, we will visit one of the most outstanding highlights in Morocco. Before reaching this destination, we will take you to admire some breathtaking sights along the way. Our first stop will be at the Telouat valley, followed by a visit to the stunning and unique Toudgha, renowned for its towering canyons reaching up to 300 meters in height. We will then continue our journey to Tinjedad and Tinghir, where we will take a break for lunch and some rest.

 

Finally, we will make our way to the Merzouga desert for a truly unforgettable desert night. Our evening excursion will commence with a camel ride through the golden dunes to reach our desert camp. Along the way, we will take in the stunning sunset and spend the night in a traditional Berber camp, where you will be treated to a sumptuous traditional Berber meal. The camp team will build a fire and play drums under the twinkling stars, creating a magical atmosphere to end the second day of our three-day journey from Marrakech to Merzouga desert.

 

DAY 3 : Merzouga – Back to Marrakech :

After fueling up with breakfast in our luxurious camp, we'll set off on camels back to Merzouga. Since we'll be making our way back to Marrakech, we'll need to get an early start, leaving around 8:00 in the morning. Our route back will differ from our journey there, as we'll be stopping for lunch in Nkob after passing through Alnif. Then, we'll continue driving directly to Marrakech via the Ait-Saouen pass, before finally dropping you off in the vibrant city of Marrakech, bringing our 3 days Sahara desert tour from Marrakech to a close.
