3-Day Desert Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga with Camel Ride

About the Activity

What to Expect

From your accommodation in Marrakech, we will pick you up to discover the Sahara Desert during 3 days full of emotions. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through the Atlas Mountains, soaking in the breathtaking landscapes along the way. Our first highlight is the majestic Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a prestigious UNESCO World Heritage Site revered for its cinematic history as a backdrop for numerous Hollywood productions. After an immersive exploration of Ouarzazate, you will spend the evening at a charming hotel/Kasbah in the serene Dades Valley.

On the second day of your journey, we will venture into the awe-inspiring Todra Gorges, where the sheer cliffs and tranquil river create an enchanting atmosphere. As we reach the mystical ambiance of the Sahara Desert, you will have the opportunity to enjoy thrilling sandboarding activities (if available), partake in a serene camel ride to witness the mesmerizing sunset, and nestle into the tranquility of a traditional Berber desert camp in Erg Chebbi.

As the final day dawns, you will experience a captivating desert sunrise atop a camel before bidding farewell to the desert realm. Our journey back to Marrakech will be equally enchanting, allowing you to reflect on the incredible experiences and unforgettable moments. Your adventure culminates with a drop-off at your hotel or riad, leaving you with cherished memories of an enriching desert odyssey.
