Your 3 Day Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech begins with an early pickup from your accommodation or the nearest meeting point. Travel through the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains and cross the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass, with stops along the way to enjoy panoramic views and visit a local argan oil cooperative.

After time to explore the kasbah, continue to Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Morocco.” After lunch, travel through the Valley of Roses and arrive in Dades Valley, where you will spend the night in a hotel or guesthouse.

After breakfast, continue your journey toward the Sahara Desert. Along the way, admire the impressive landscapes of southern Morocco and stop at Todra Gorge, one of the country’s most spectacular natural sites, known for its towering canyon walls. You will also pass through Tinghir and other traditional towns before stopping for lunch on the way.
In the afternoon, arrive in Merzouga, where your desert adventure begins. Ride camels through the golden Erg Chebbi dunes while enjoying a beautiful sunset over the Sahara. At the desert camp, enjoy a traditional dinner, local music around the campfire, and an unforgettable night under the stars in the heart of the desert.
Day 3: Merzouga – Alnif – Nkob – Marrakech
Wake up early to enjoy the peaceful desert atmosphere and, if you wish, watch the sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast at the camp, return by camel or 4×4 to Merzouga, where your driver will be waiting.
