3 DAYS MARRAKECH MERZOUGA DESERT TOUR

We start our journey by picking you up from your location (Aeroport, Hotel, Riyad…), then we head to Ouarzazate through the High Atlas Mountains in a pass that links the south east of Marrakech to the gate of Desert, called tichka, which is considered as the highest major mountain road in North Africa reaching a height of 2.260 meters above the sea level, for a magical 2 hours’ drive followed by a coffee break. Our next stop would be to admirethe beautiful views on the road before we reach and discover the amazing site of kasbah Ait benhaddou which is a fortified old village with houses built in clay, on a beautiful river on the road between Marrakech and the Sahara, demonstrating an amazing clay architecture. Afterwards, we drive for 1 hour to the cinema studio where you can enjoy taking pictures in one of the most famous film making areas. Next stop is Kasbah Taourirtit’s a citadel set against the backdrop of the Atlas Mountains passing by Skora Oasis that lined with immense palm groves, which leads us to the rose valley (El-Kelaa Mgouna). This valley is rich of its Berber culture and traditions along with magnificent landscapes where we will be spending the night, relaxing and enjoying a Moroccan menu for dinner.

In our 2nd day trip, after a hearty breakfast, we will be heading to the village of Merzouga, the wonderland of sand that attracts so many tourists, through the Valley of dades, 25 km of splendid sceneries located between the high Atlas mountains and djebel Saghro mountain. We will be also discovering the Todgha gorges which are like the dades, another amazing river canyon, near the Tinghir Town which is a town in the south of the Atlas mountain, its name refers to “foothills”. Time for a pure saharian adventure: We will drive to Tinjdad (a village on the road) for about 20 minutes and then take a break at the mlaab to enjoy wearing the traditional clothing and take free and memorable pictures. A stop for lunch. We shall arrive to Merzougabefore sunset, then we will take a camel tour through the sand dunes leading to a Berber desert camp where you can enjoy the breathtaking sunset, an amazing evening meal and spend the night under the stars and surrounded by sand… such a memorable experience.

We will have an early wake up to experience the amazing sunrise from the heart of the desert. Then we will take the camels back to Merzouga which gives you more time enjoying the spacious sand dunes. In our way back to Marrakech, the adventure will still be going… we will stop at the Daraa Valley, which is a river flowing from the high of the Atlas mountain to the Atlantic Ocean.
