3-Day Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga via Dades Gorge

Day 1: Marrakech - Ouarzazate - Skoura - Dades Gorge

Depart Marrakech in the morning, towards Dades.

On the way, we’ll travel through the beautiful High Atlas mountains via the Tizi N'Tichka pass at a height of 2260 metres above sea level.

The tour continues through spectacular landscape, dotted with Berber villages and dwellings, until you reach Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, famous for its incredible construction and the film ‘Babel’. You will have plenty of time to take some memorable photos before continuing the journey to Ouarzazate.

After leaving Ouarzazate, we will continue through the spectacular Dades Gorge and along the ‘Road of Kasbahs’ to your hotel, where you will have dinner and spend the night.

Day 2: Dades Gorge - Todra Gorges - Merzouga

After a leisurely breakfast in your hotel we will drive to the Todra Gorges where the cliffs are up to 160m high. Here we'll take a stroll along the floor of the gorge, before continuing into the desert through the Tafilalet forest of palm trees.

Shortly after arriving at the hotel in the desert, you will board our camels for a trek to the heart of the desert from where we’ll watch the magnificent sunset.

Surrounded by majestic sand dunes and relaxing beneath a vast canopy of twinkling stars, you’ll enjoy the music of drums and drink Moroccan tea with your meal before spending the night in traditional nomadic tents.

Day 3: Merzouga - Rissani - Marrakech

You’ll be woken very early in the morning to see another great show across the dunes of the Moroccan Sahara: the spectacular sunrise. We return to the hotel on camels.

After showers and breakfast we rejoin the road and travel to Rissani where we will visit the souk. This is a traditional, authentic Moroccan market and is the largest souk in southern Morocco. There traders sell all kinds of crafts, food and animals.

Now we leave behind the beautiful Draa Valley with its lush palm trees and continue our return to Marrakech through more majestic scenery.

We arrive in Marrakech in the evening and transfer you to your hotel.
