4-Day Agadir Desert Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Agadir to Ouarzazate

We will travel to Ouarzazate on the first day of our 4-day desert tour itinerary from Agadir. In the Sous Valley, we will travel through numerous fascinating Berber communities. We’ll have the chance to tour Taroudant, also known as “Little Marrakech” by locals. The Saadian dynasty built the town as a military outpost to counter the Portuguese invasion. You will also explore its old Medina before continuing on to Taliouine and Taznakht.

The Kasbah, or castle of Ait Benhaddou, will be our next visit. The latter is Morocco’s largest Kasbah and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After that, we’ll drive to Ouarzazate’s movie city. It is well-known for its Atlas Studios, which makes it an excellent site for filming. Many films and television productions, including Prison Break and Gladiator, were filmed there. You will be able to tour their studios, and we will transport you to your lodging at the conclusion of the day.

Day 2: Ouarzazate to Merzouga desert

After breakfast, we’ll begin our 4-day desert excursion from Agadir to Merzouga in the Sahara desert. Before then, we’ll go via the Skoura and Rose Valley oasis areas before arriving at Todgha Gorges. We’ll stop there for lunch and to take in the canyon’s breathtaking walls. Following that, we’ll visit Touroug, Erfoud, and Merzouga. Your camels will be waiting for you when you get at Merzouga. You’ll ride them across the Erg Chebbi sand dunes to a native Berber tent for the night. As you relax and enjoy your time under a beautiful starry sky, locals will entertain you with music around the fire.

Day 3: Merzouga to Agdz

You will have an excellent chance to watch a beautiful sunrise from the top of the dunes on this day of your 4-day desert tour from Agadir. Following that, you will have breakfast before we go to Rissani. We will go through a typical market in this city that becomes packed on Souk days. There are traditional items for sale. Then we’ll journey across the Draa Valley, passing via Alnif, Tazarrine, and Nkob. On your trip to Agdez, you’ll have the option of driving off-road over the historic caravan route and ancient kasbahs.

Day 4: Agdez to Agadir

After breakfast, we drive from Agdz to Taznakht, a town famous for its Berber gelims and carpets. On the way, we travel through beautiful landscapes and the Bouazzer mines. This is a more isolated and off-the-beaten-path region of the country. Later, we will go west to Agadir over the Tizi-n-Ikhsane and Tizi-n-Tighatine passes. We stop for lunch at Taliouine, Morocco’s saffron-growing region, where there is an excellent, modest museum dedicated to the art of saffron farming. The path returns us to Taroudant in the afternoon, where we follow the often-dry Souss River and innumerable argan trees on all the mountain slopes back to Agadir, where we arrive at the end of the afternoon.

Reviews

4-day tour from Agadir

The vacation was a lot of fun. The most important thing was that we discovered a highly responsible driver and guide in Ali, and that Aziz was a really pleasant and patient person. They escorted us to all of the attractions, and the daily schedule was well planned. The accommodations provided were also more considerate and in good working order. This travel agency's price is still reasonable when compared to other travel agencies. The vacation was wonderful in general, and Ali and Aziz were really pleasant and responsible hosts. It is worthwhile to come and travel.

Agadir Desert tour

A week ago, we returned from an incredible trip through the interior of Morocco to the desert of Merzouga. A trip with the company of Youssef and Hamid, wonderful people, they made us spend some very pleasant moments. Both the hotels where we stayed and the restaurants where we stopped to eat were great, and the night in the desert was wonderful until the news of the border closure due to the coronavirus put an end to our trip, and it was there that these people showed us their great kindness, offering us even their personal wifi data since we were isolated in the desert, so that we could find flights back to Spain as soon as possible since ours had been cancelled. We had to make the return trip to Marrakech in about 10 hours, and everything was easy for them. We would like to thank you for all your support and we hope to be able to return one day to complete this trip. Thank you very much for everything and a hug.

Destinations' overview

Merzouga Desert: The Captivating Hub of Your 4-Day Desert Excursion from Agadir

Merzouga is a town in southern Morocco near the Algerian border that is home to a large number of Berbers, North Africa’s original population. It’s around 500 kilometers east of Marrakech, Morocco’s primary tourist destination.

Because it is literally “right there” in the middle of the desert, Merzouga is a popular tourist destination in the Sahara. A short stroll along the rural road from the plaza where the long-distance bus stops will bring you to a panoramic view of the vast sand dunes on your right.

Ouarzazate: A Fascinating Stop on Your 4-Day Desert Trip from Agadir

The breathtaking Ouarzazate, a captivating blend of oases, kasbahs, and flourishing valleys, stands at the gateway to Morocco’s expansive south—a vast desert plateau that beckons travelers from around the globe. Nestled among palm trees, Ouarzazate has found solace, leaving a rocky expanse sculpted by the winds of the Sahara in its wake.

Ouarzazate and its surroundings provide an extraordinary natural backdrop for film production, luring Hollywood’s elite producers and filmmakers for years.

While Ouarzazate has long intrigued historians, the region retains an air of mystery, with archaeological discoveries shedding light on various ancient civilizations and deep human history, including prehistoric rock engravings that date back to ancient times.

Discover Ouarzazate’s enigmatic allure as you embark on your 4-day desert tour from Agadir.

Ait Benhaddou: A Spectacular Highlight of Your 4-Day Desert Journey from Agadir

Morocco is well-known for its many Ksours or kasbahs, which were built in ancient times to safeguard the residents of a certain area. The most well-known kasbah is that of Ait Benhaddou. When on a desert trip in Morocco, you will generally travel by and stop at this magnificent location. This little town is an excellent example of Moroccan clay building. The presence of the Ounila River in front of this location adds to its uniqueness; in order to approach the settlement, you must cross the little river. The villagers have placed some pebbles along the path to allow you to access the settlement and explore it further.

Ait Benhaddou is a popular filming location as well as a tourist destination. This location has been used in several notable films, including parts of Lawrence of Arabia, Kingdom of Heaven, and Gladiator.
