Itinerary for 4 days tour from Marrakech to Sahara desert :
The 4 days desert excursion begins with a prompt pickup from either the airport or your Marrakech accommodation. We then embark on a drive through the mesmerizing High Atlas mountains and the Tizi-N-Tichka pass, making stops to take in the stunning views along the way.
Next, we visit the renowned Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a fortification that has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Kasbah has been featured in numerous films such as Gladiator, Alexander, and The Mummy, as well as the TV show Game of Thrones. Afterwards, we proceed to Ouarzazate, also known as "The Gate of the Desert". The evening ends with dinner and an overnight stay at a hotel.
After having breakfast, we embark on a city exploration of Ouarzazate. Our first stop is the Atlas Studios, a location famous for hosting the shoots of various movies. Next, we visit the Taourirt Kasbah, a historic and fortified mud castle. Afterwards, we head towards Agdz and follow the Draa Valley, the longest river in Morocco. Along the way, we take breaks to admire the palm tree groves, stunning Kasbahs, and Berber villages. We have free time for lunch either in Nkob or Alnif.
After lunch, we make our way to the Sahara desert in Merzouga through Rissani. Upon reaching the Erg Chebbi sand dunes, we switch to camels for a journey across the Sahara desert. We stop at the top of a large dune to take in the stunning sunset. Then, we proceed to the camp which blends traditional nomad tents with the comfort of a hotel. At the campsite, you can enjoy Berber drum music and dance around the campfire under the starry sky. Dinner and overnight stay will be provided at the camp.
Rise and shine early in the morning to witness the magnificent sunrise amidst the desert. After a leisurely breakfast, you will return to Merzouga on camels where the driver will be waiting. Our next destination is the historic town of Rissani, formerly the capital of Tafilalet and still a bustling trading hub, particularly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
Following a leisurely stroll through the vibrant Rissani market, we head to Erfoud to visit a workshop producing fossilized marble. Our journey continues through the Touroug and Tinjdad palm groves to reach the Todra Gorges, a majestic canyon carved by the Todra river with towering red cliffs. This area is a popular destination for rock climbers and offers ample opportunities to explore and appreciate the natural beauty. After lunch, we embark on a journey through Boumalne Dades to reach the Dades valley, stopping to admire the distinctive "monkey fingers" rock formation and a mountain viewpoint offering a breathtaking view of the valley. Our day concludes with dinner and an overnight stay at a hotel.
On the final day of your 4 days desert tour from Marrakech, we venture to Kalaa Magouna to visit the picturesque Rose Valley. The valley is known for its annual Rose Festival held in May, where locals showcase their rose-based products, ranging from perfumes, rose water, oil, to cosmetic items. Our journey continues along several Kasbahs, including the Amridil Kasbah surrounded by the lush palm grove of Skoura. We then arrive in Ouarzazate, with free time for lunch in the town. Our return to Marrakech takes us through the winding Tizi-N-Tichka pass and the stunning High Atlas Mountains. We will drop you off at your preferred location or the Marrakech airport, marking the end of this memorable tour.
