Day 1 :Marrakech – Dades (7 hour trip)

Your Moroccan Desert Tour will depart from your hotel or riad at 8:00 AM towards Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, crossing the Tizi n’Tichka pass and the Atlas Mountains. Numerous stops will be made along the way. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, which has also served as a filming location for several Hollywood blockbusters. We continue to Ouarzazate and visit Kasbah Taourirt before lunch (only exterior views are permitted, as it is currently closed due to the earthquake).

Day 2:Dades – Merzouga (4 hour trip)

After breakfast, today’s journey begins with a drive along the Road of 1001 Kasbahs towards the Tinghir oasis. You’ll enjoy the incredible scenery along the way, passing the remaining fortified villages that once hosted caravan routes until the early 20th century. After arriving in Tinghir, which served as a military base during the French occupation, we’ll turn onto a secondary road leading to the oasis. Feel free to stroll along the stream and watch the locals farming and herding their livestock. Your walk will end at one of the most magnificent sights of your tour: the Todga Gorges. After lunch at a local cafe, we continue to Rissani, one of Morocco’s most sacred towns, as the current ruling dynasty, the Alaouites, originated there, and their founder is buried there. Rissani is also famous as the starting point of the ancient caravan route across the Sahara Desert all the way to Timbuktu.
From here, we’ll traverse rocky terrain all the way to Merzouga, where our camel caravan will be waiting for us. Enjoy a camel ride over the Erg Chebbi dunes to witness a breathtaking sunset before returning to our Sahara Desert camp, located in the middle of nowhere.
Savor dinner under the stars while being entertained by our local nomads playing their drums throughout the night.

FAQ’S :

A useful guide for your trip?

We pick you up at your accommodation indicated in the reservation, at 7:30 am.

What to pack in your luggage?

It depends on the time of year you visit us, in winter the weather is cold in Morocco and especially in the desert at night, so check first on a weather page to know better and exactly for the days you will be here, in early summer, let’s say from May to September, As we know, this country reaches 35-40 degrees, so you should choose your clothes as if you were having a direct trip to the beach. And you can even add to your list of trips to visit our beaches such as Essaouira, Agadir, Tangier, White House just to mention a few of them, we have daily tours available.

Which route should you select?

The excursion to Zagora is for those who visit the country for a couple of days and do not want to miss the opportunity to see once the dunes, in Zagora the dunes are much smaller than Merzouga but no less beautiful, the two of them have the magic of the desert and the logistics until we reach Ouarzazate is the same as it is the same road, on this first and only night tour you will sleep in the desert camp of Zagora.

The Merzouga tour, as it is further away than Zagora, is offered as a 3 days tour the first night is in Dades Georges and the second night you will sleep in the Merzouga camp.

On the fence to book the private or shared tour?

The Sahara desert tour from Marrakech is offered as shared, which means that you will be accompanied by 16 more travelers from all over the world, the languages spoken by the driver are English and the local languages.

The private tour we offer can be with a driver who speaks Spanish, English or French, depending on availability (if you need another language, you can ask us). The tour is done only with the people traveling with you, the minimum is 2 people, but we can also make an exception if you are just a traveler and an additional amount will be added.

Traveling alone?

There are some taboos that we hear sometimes from different countries and stories that we don’t know if they are true or not, but I will recommend that if you have the opportunity to travel alone to this country, it is something you should do! There is nothing to worry about, especially if you are a woman, the only thing that can be uncomfortable is that a vendor is begging you to buy their products and nothing else, the city is full of tourists all year round and security especially takes care of tourism.

Honestamente antes de llegar estaba un poco asustada porque no conocía al equipo de Marrakech desert trip pero desde que llegamos te brindan una confianza única. Youssef y su equipo estuvieron siempre atentos de nosotros y siempre enseñándonos de la historia y cultura de Marruecos. Los hoteles/riads y las comidas estaban excelentes. 100% recomendado.

Nos embarcamos en un viaje increíble, comenzando con nuestro guía de montaña, Mohamed, cuya guía fue fundamental para ayudarnos a conquistar la cumbre del monte Toubkal. Su amabilidad y asistencia fueron realmente invaluables y las vistas desde la cima fueron simplemente impresionantes. La segunda parte de nuestra aventura estuvo dirigida por Abdel, nuestro guía y conductor. Fue extraordinariamente amable e hizo todo lo posible para ayudarnos durante todo el viaje. Sus esfuerzos fueron realmente apreciados y estamos increíblemente agradecidos por su apoyo. En resumen, esta caminata y viaje de 5 días fue una experiencia increíble, organizada de manera experta por la empresa. ¡Recomendamos de todo corazón esta aventura a otros!
