Begin your 5 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga with a pickup from your lodging in Marrakech. Travel through the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi N’Tichka pass (2,260 m), the highest in Morocco. Enjoy stunning views of the landscapes and Berber villages.

Arrive at Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and explore its history and significance as a filming location for movies like “Lawrence of Arabia” and “Gladiator.” We continue to Ouarzazate, known as the Hollywood of Africa, where you will spend the night.

After breakfast, continue your 5 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga through the Draa Valley, passing the volcanic rock formations of the Anti Atlas Mountains to Agdez and Tamnougalt. Drive through Nkob, known for its numerous kasbahs, and continue to Rissani, famous for its traditional market.

Proceed to the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, where you’ll take a camel trek to your desert camp. Enjoy the sunset over the dunes, followed by a delicious dinner and a campfire party with Berber drums. Spend the night in a well-equipped tented camp.

Wake up early to witness the spectacular sunrise over the sand dunes. After breakfast, return to Merzouga by camel and embark on an off-road discovery tour of the surrounding villages, including Hassi Labied and Khamlia, known for its Gnawa musicians.

Visit the abandoned town of Mefes, famous for its lead mines, and meet a nomad family living on the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes. In the afternoon, relax at your accommodation or explore the dunes again. Optionally, enjoy an hour of ATV quad biking (not included). Spend the night at a local hotel.

After breakfast, continue your 5 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga by departing from the desert and traveling to Erfoud, known for its fossilized rocks.
