Step by Step

This 3-day excursion is perfect for those wishing to explore the Merzouga desert, setting off from Marrakech and making the most of the journey to discover some of Morocco’s most breathtaking landscapes. Right from the start, the route heads into the High Atlas, crossing the spectacular Tizi n’Tichka Pass, one of the country’s most famous mountain passes.

On the first day, one of the trip’s main highlights is a visit to Ait Ben Haddou, one of Morocco’s most iconic kasbahs and a place steeped in history and charm. The tour then continues to Tinghir, where you’ll spend the night in a hotel and enjoy the included dinner, surrounded by the beauty of southern Morocco.

On the second day, after breakfast, the tour continues to the breathtaking Todra Gorges, a natural wonder that amazes with its rocky cliffs and unique landscape. Later, you’ll arrive in Merzouga, where one of the most eagerly anticipated experiences of the trip begins: a camel ride at sunset amongst the desert dunes.

The adventure continues with a very special night in a Berber camp, where you can enjoy dinner, relax under a star-filled sky and experience the authentic Sahara. At dawn on the third day, you’ll enjoy the desert once more with another camel ride before setting off on the return journey to Marrakech.

This is an intense and comprehensive getaway, designed for those who want to make the most of their time and discover mountains, kasbahs, oases, gorges and the desert all in a single trip. An ideal choice for travellers seeking an authentic, varied experience full of memorable moments.
