3-Day Marrakech to Merzouga Desert Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Marrakech to Dades via Ait Benhaddou and Ouarzazate

We’re offering an exciting and fun 3-day tour From Marrakech to the Sahara Desert of Merzouga. Our tour will begin with us picking you up from your lodging or another meeting spot. We’ll start by driving through the stunning Atlas Mountains and stop at the Tizi nTichka pass (2260m), where you can visit some Argan oil cooperatives (optional stop). Then we’ll head over to Ait Benhaddou, a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s famous for being an excellent spot for movies due to its unique towers and clay architecture.

Next, we’ll go to Ouarzazate, where we’ll have a delicious lunch at one of the top restaurants. We’ll also visit Atlas Studios, which is a production company that rents out equipment and has been used for many famous shows and movies like Game of Thrones and Prison Break. We’ll end the day at the Dades Gorges, where we’ll spend the night. Dinner and Breakfast included.

Day 2: Dades to Merzouga desert via Todra Canyons

Morning Magic: Start your day fueled up with breakfast, then jump in a car for a scenic drive through the Dades Valley. Nicknamed the “1000 Kasbahs Route,” this journey is like stepping back in time, surrounded by traditional Moroccan forts.

Canyon Captivation: Arrive at the awe-inspiring Todgha Gorge, carved by the mighty Todgha River. Hike along the water’s edge, feeling dwarfed by the towering cliffs that scrape the sky. Breathe in the cool spray as you walk through this narrow wonderland.

Desert Dreams: Savor a delicious Berber lunch, then continue your journey to Merzouga, the gateway to the magical Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Climb onto your trusty camel and let it carry you across the golden sands as the sun paints the sky in fiery oranges and pinks. Reach your cozy desert camp nestled amongst the dunes and set up your tent for the night.

As dusk settles, climb a nearby dune and soak in the silence of the vast desert under a blanket of stars. Enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner under the starry sky, followed by lively entertainment around the crackling campfire. Gaze in wonder at the shooting stars and constellations, clear as crystal in the heart of the desert. Spend the night lulled by the desert sounds, and wake up to another stunning sunrise over the dunes. Enjoy a hearty breakfast before heading back, your heart full of adventure and memories.

Day 3: Merzouga back to Marrakech

Rise and shine! We’ll hop back on our camels at sunrise for a different route back to Merzouga. An early start awaits (around 8:00 am) as we head home to Marrakech.

This time, we’ll pass through the cool desert town of Alnif, where lunch awaits at the famous Nkob spot. Feeling refreshed, we’ll zoom through the Ait-Saouen mountain pass and wind our way back to Marrakech. By the time the sun sets, we’ll drop you back at your Marrakech digs (or the airport, if you wish). And just like that, your epic 3-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga desert comes to a close!

Breathtaking!​

I recommend going on a three-day tour from Marrakech to the desert with Touring in Morocco. Hassan, our tour guide, was great and showed us the best things to do in his country.

Stunning Views!

I got the chance to go to the salt mines in the Ounila Valley and give clothes, school stuff, and gifts to the people living there. It made me happy to help while also having a good time seeing the cool valley. Every time we went off the usual tourist route we had a great adventure waiting for us. Our guide Hamid was really nice and knows a lot about the area. We had a lot of fun in the Sahara desert with the Berber people and I hope to go back again someday.
