On the first day of our desert tour from Agadir, we will start by picking you up from your hotel or airport. First, we will drive to Taroudant, e very quiet city with a long history and often called the little Marrakech. Here, you can have a short walk around the old city and explore its charm.
After that, we head through the Anti-Atlas Mountains, enjoying the landscapes and the views of Berber villages along the way. Next, we arrive at the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, the most famous fortress in Morocco. You will have a short hike through the mud alleys, climbing up to the top of the Kasbah.
After having lunch, we will drive to visit the Atlas Studios in Ouarzazate, one of the largest film studios in Africa. Many scenes of popular movies and series were filmed here, taking examples of Gladiator, Game of Thrones, Cleopatra, Prince of Persia, Kingdom of Heaven, and many more.
Finally, we will drop you off at your accommodation to relax and get ready for the desert adventure the next day.
Today, we will head deeper East towards the Sahara Desert of Merzouga. First, we will cross through Skoura Oases and the Rose Valley. In spring, around early May, the valley is filled with blooming Damas roses, and locals use them to make rose water and cosmetic products.
Afterwards, we continue driving through beautiful palm groves and small villages around the Tinghir Valley until we reach Todra Gorges. Tall cliffs of around 400m rise on both sides of a narrow canyon with a running river. Here, you can have a short hike to enjoy the views and take pictures.
After having lunch in either Tinghir or Tinjedad, we will drive to Merzouga. Here, we start the desert adventure with a camel ride across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, making a stop to watch the sunset. Then, we head to the desert camp, check into your tents, have dinner, and then gather around the campfire to enjoy the drum party.
Since you are in the middle of the desert, we recommend waking up early in the morning for the sunrise. After having breakfast in the camp, we will drive to discover one of the biggest traditional markets in Morocco. If it is a souk day, which is Sundays, Tuesdays, or Thursdays, the market gets very busy with locals from the surrounding areas to buy and sell goods. Most traders who gather in the market still use traditional means of transportation, such as mules and donkey carts.
After that, we will drive along Draa Valley, one of the longest valleys in Morocco. Here, we will stop at Tamnouglat Kasbah, surrounded by the palm groves.
Finally, we will head to Agdez, where we will spend the night.
On the last day of our 4-day trip, we will drive back to Agadir. First, we pass through Taznakht, where we can include a stop to learn about the Berber Carpets and rugs.
Next, we continue to Taliouine, the saffron region in Morocco. If you are visiting in autumn, you can see women harvesting it.
Finally, by evening, we will drop you off at your accommodation or airport in Agadir. End of the 4-day tour from Agadir to Merzouga desert.
