Overview

This 3-day tour offers you the chance to experience the desert in its full glory. Your journey begins in Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara, and takes you through the magnificent landscapes of southern Morocco. As you venture towards Merzouga, the allure of the endless sand dunes unfolds before you. The vastness of the desert offers stunning views, and the serenity of the dunes will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a dream. The night is spent under the stars in a traditional Berber camp, where you’ll enjoy an authentic desert experience.

The journey takes you beyond the dunes and into the heart of Morocco's historical treasures. On the second day, the route through the Dades Valley presents you with striking landscapes filled with lush green valleys, dramatic cliffs, and ancient kasbahs. Visit the stunning Skoura Oasis and see centuries-old mud-brick kasbahs that have stood the test of time. These ancient fortresses were once home to noble families and offer a glimpse into Morocco’s rich history and culture. The Dades Valley is also known for its distinctive rock formations, including the famous “Monkey Fingers,” which make for some truly striking photo opportunities. These natural wonders will leave you in awe, adding to the sense of adventure that defines this journey.

One of the highlights of this tour is the camel trekking experience in Merzouga. The majestic Sahara Desert is best explored on camelback, and your camel trek into the dunes will be an unforgettable experience. As you ride through the golden sands, you’ll witness the mesmerizing beauty of the desert as the light changes throughout the day, creating a stunning visual spectacle. The camel ride is led by experienced local guides who will ensure you feel comfortable and safe. Reaching your camp deep within the dunes, you will enjoy a traditional dinner while experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the Berber people. The starry night sky, far from city lights, is a breathtaking spectacle that should not be missed.

On your way to Merzouga, the journey takes you through the winding roads of the Atlas Mountains, where dramatic scenery unfolds at every turn. The impressive mountain landscapes are dotted with charming villages, and you’ll have the opportunity to stop and admire the views. A highlight of this section of the journey is visiting the famous Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its beautiful architecture and its appearances in films such as "Gladiator" and "Game of Thrones." The kasbahs, built from mud and clay, create a unique and timeless atmosphere that will take you back in time.
