3 Days Trip from Marrakech to Merzouga

After a delicious breakfast, we’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the Dades Valley from a strategic mountain lookout, where the multitude of kasbahs and their unique features become apparent.

Following a well-maintained asphalt road, we’ll journey through the valley, passing by charming adobe villages until we reach the awe-inspiring Todra Gorges. These majestic gorges, with their uneven rock surfaces, are not only a sight to behold but also a haven for rock climbers.

After a leisurely stroll through the gorges, we’ll enjoy a lunch break in Tinjdad or Touroug. Our journey then takes us to the magnificent dunes of Merzouga, where we’ll embark on a one-hour camel ride to our nomad camp nestled amidst the captivating Erg Chebbi dunes. As the sun sets, we’ll witness a mesmerizing sunset from the top of a dune before retiring to our tents for a night under the enchanting starry sky.

Begin your day with a magical experience as you wake up early in the desert to witness an awe-inspiring sunrise from the top of a dune near the camp. The breathtaking views will leave you in awe. Afterward, we return to Merzouga on camelback, where a delicious breakfast awaits. Energized, we embark on our final day, passing through the arid pre-desert region, adorned with the iconic acacia trees.

Along the way to the Draa Valley, we make stops to admire the scenic views of the river, the longest in Morocco, stretching across the country and reaching Mauritania. Continuing our journey, we traverse the Anti Atlas Mountains, pausing for a leisurely lunch in Ouarzazate.

In the afternoon, we set off again towards Marrakech, reaching our destination by approximately 8 pm. You will be transferred to your hotel, concluding our services.
