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

About the Activity

What to Expect

Come explore the desert from Marrakesh with our private excursion and experience a unique stay at a camp in Merzouga, accessible only after a camel ride. Begin your adventure in a private van that can accommodate up to 8 people, journeying through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. Your first stop is the stunning UNESCO site of Ait Ben Haddou, where you will have the chance to explore its ancient architecture and dramatic landscapes. Continue to Ouarzazate, known as the gateway to the Sahara, before heading into the picturesque Dades Valley. Here, you will spend the night in an exclusive premium hotel reserved for your group.

On the second day, resume your journey and discover the breathtaking Todgha Valley, a natural wonder with its towering cliffs and lush greenery. As you make your way towards Merzouga, embark on a camel ride across the golden dunes, leading you to a secluded camp. Spend the night under the stars and immerse yourself in an authentic Berber evening, complete with traditional music and cuisine.

Wake up to a magical sunrise over the desert, followed by another serene camel ride. Finally, hop back into your private van for the return trip to Marrakesh, bringing with you memories of an extraordinary desert adventure that will last a lifetime.
