3 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech

Day 1: Marrakech – Tizi N Ticheka – Ait Ben Haddou – Dades Valley

Our guides will pick you up from your Marrakech Riad and take you on a 3 days tour from Marrakech to the desert via the Dades Valley via the Tizi-n-Ticheka Atlas pass (2260 m). From the pass, you will have stunning views of the High Atlas Mountains, which are dotted with Berber villages. We continue to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and explore the site with your guide. After that, we eat lunch nearby before continuing on the Kasbah Road to the Dades Valley, where we will spend the first night.

Day 2: Dades Valley – Todra Gorges – Merzouga

You can take a short walk in the Dades Valley in the morning before continuing to Erg Chebbi in the Sahara desert at Merzouga. Berber villages dot the route as we visit the famous Todra Gorge, where we will stop for an hour to walk through these stunning Moroccan canyons. Continue through the villages of Tinjdad, Jarf, and Erfoud until you reach the Erg Chebbi dunes. Before riding camels to the dunes to watch the sunset, we stop for tea. Spend the night in a luxury camp.
