3 days desert tour from Marrakech itinerary :

Day 1 : Marrakech _ Dades Gorges

We will pick you up from your lodging on the first day of 3 days desert tour from Marrakech and drive you to Dades Gorges. First, we’ll go across the High Atlas Mountains and pause at the 2260 m-high Tizi Ntichka Pass. Also on our route will be Teleouet and the cooperative argan oil. The fortified village of Ait Benhaddou in Morocco is the next stop on the journey. It is a Unesco World Heritage Site. After lunch, we continue on to Ouarzazate, the Moroccan equivalent of Hollywood. We’ll visit the Atlas studios and take a look around. We will spend the night at Dades Gorges before moving on to our final stop.

Day 2 : Dades Gorges _ Merzouga

Second day of our Marrakech to Merzouga Desert Tour 3 days after breakfast, you will start your private desert trips through the Dades Valley, passing through some breathtaking hairpin curves (see Cadillac braking test on YouTube) before arriving to the Dades Gorges. You’ll proceed to Toudgha to the quite distinct gorges there after stretching your legs by walking through the gorges and taking a look at the scenery on the other side. Either here in the gorges or later in the bivouac in the Erg Chebbi dunes, lunch will be served. You travel there via the Ziz Valley, the towns of Rissani, which is where the king’s family is from, and Erfoud, which is renowned for its fossil finds turned into lovely objects.

You can go on a one to one and a half hour camel ride in the Sahara in the afternoon following a complimentary cup of tea. The sunset looks magnificent from the top of the dune (250m).

You eat dinner and spend the night in an opulent camp with a private bathroom, king-sized beds, lovely Moroccan furnishings, and tastefully placed lamps to enhance your enjoyment of the solitude and beauty of the dunes. The camp also has wonderful Moroccan furnishings.

Day 3 :Merzouga _ Marrakech

If you get up early enough, you can witness the sunrise, when the dunes’ color and the shadows’ interaction create an amazing sight. The Saghro mountains, one of the driest regions in the nation with about 100 mm of rain at the bottom and 300 mm on the hills, are traversed as we travel back west to the Dra’a Valley. We travel by the towns of Tazzarine, which appeared in the movie “Babel,” and N’Qob, where we stop for lunch with a view of the mountains.

We travel further west in the afternoon to Tansikht, which is located along the Dra’a River. The Dra’a valley is dotted with enormous palm palms and historic kasbahs, which characterize the surroundings in this region of the south. We follow the path of the historic caravan route that traveled from the Sahara to Agdez in the north with its priceless cargoes from Mail and Niger. Kasbah Tamnougalte, the oldest kasbah in the valley, is almost at the very top. On the peaks of the mountains beside the river, several of the watch tours used to maintain the security of the camels and the accompanying men are still clearly visible.

To get to Ouarzazate, we cross the Tizi-n’Tinfifte pass, which is 1660 meters high, back on the major north-south road. By continuing down the main road back over the High Atlas, we bring this incredible Marrakech desert excursion to a close. By late afternoon, we are in Marrakech. Your driver will accompany you to your riad as your 3 days desert tour from Marrakech comes to an end.

My fiance and I spent the night in the Erg Chebbi desert with Mohamed . Punctually he came to pick us up at the hotel and we walked for about two hours in the desert dunes. Arrived at the camp we tasted an excellent tea with biscuits prepared by Mohamed . After a while he served us a great dinner. We spent the night sleeping on comfortable, clean mattresses. Mohamed is an expert person, willing to give explanations of all kinds. The camp also has a Turkish one !! Absolutely recommended !!!

Incredible, we made a private excursion to visit Ourika... he picked us up at the hotel, took us to a village with authentic Berber, incredible food next to a beautiful river, we made a 1-hour route to visit the Ourika waterfalls with Mohamed, Then on the way back we went on a quat route, the truth is that the attention was very good, the treatment was great! If I return to Marrakech it would be with the only agency that would do excursions.
