Day 1 : Marrakech – Boumalne Dades (06h00 by car)

Your 3-day excursion to the Merzouga desert begins early in the morning. We will pick you up around 7:00-7:30 am from your accommodation or the nearest accessible point . Once the group is assembled, we will depart for the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou via the Tizi N’tichka pass and the Atlas Mountains. Several stops will be made along the way. First, we will visit the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou , a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which has served as a backdrop for several Hollywood blockbusters. We will have lunch there and then continue to Ouarzazate and visit the Kasbah Taourirt (we will only see part of it as it is currently closed due to the earthquake) . Those who wish can also visit the film studios for a short time, which costs around three euros. In the afternoon, we will head to Boumalne Dades via the Valley of Roses.

Day 2: Boumalne Dades – Merzouga (4h00 by car)

After breakfast at your hotel in the Dades Valley, our journey begins by taking the Road of 1001 Kasbahs through the Tighir oasis. We’ll then turn onto a secondary road, driving alongside the river until we reach the Todgha Gorges. Afterward, you’ll have some free time to admire the breathtaking cliffs and enjoy lunch at a local café. We’ll then continue towards Rissani, where we’ll make a brief stop. This town is famous for its date market and was once a starting point for caravan trade routes across the Sahara Desert to Timbuktu. Following this short break, we’ll continue to Merzouga through the rugged desert landscape. Upon reaching the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, we’ll meet our camel caravan and ride across the incredible sand dunes to our camp.

Just before nightfall, we’ll arrive at our camp in the Sahara Desert . Weather permitting, we’ll go sandboarding, sliding down the dunes on our boards and seeing how you can keep your balance. After some time laughing and admiring the beauty of the dunes and the surrounding landscapes, we’ll enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner and gather around the campfire. In the evening, our local nomadic hosts will entertain us with their drumming, and we’ll dance until we’re exhausted.
We’re going to sleep in our beautiful tent at the camp.
