This exclusive 3 Days Morocco Desert Tour takes you on a journey from the vibrant city of Marrakech to the ancient imperial city of Fes. You’ll travel through Morocco’s most spectacular and diverse landscapes, including the dramatic High Atlas Mountains and the golden dunes of the Sahara Desert. This tour is designed for travelers seeking a personalized and immersive experience with a focus on comfort and authentic adventure.
This tour is crafted for a seamless and unforgettable experience. Unlike large group tours, our private itinerary offers a personalized pace, allowing you to stop for photos and explore at your leisure. Your driver is also a knowledgeable guide, providing insights into local culture and history. We prioritize comfort, using a luxury desert camp and a beautiful guesthouse, ensuring your relaxation is as important as your adventure.
We will collect you from the hotel at 9 am through the Tizi n‘Tichka pass, the direct route towards Ouarzazate. It is spectacular and dramatic road that presents astonishing views of the snow topped peaks of the Atlas as well as many Berber villages. We make a stop at AitBenHaddou to view the old and well known Kasbah of Morocco. With its dramatic walls of red earth, slit windows and crumbling towers, it is a magnificent example of a traditional stronghold. Chosen as a location for Hollywood films such as Lawrence of Arabia, Jewel in the Nile, and more recently Gladiator, Ait Ben Haddou sits upon a lofty pinnacle of rock overlooking a river. Dating from around the 15th century, its importance as a trading post gradually waned, and today’s inhabitants make a living from farming… and as film extras!.
We then descend into Ouarzazate where you can visit the movie studios if you like and KasbahTaourirt. Then we set further onto the road crossing the gorges and reach Agdz, where the palm grove of the Draa Valley lines.
Meals: dinner Kasbah Hnini
We start traveling along the Valley and many Sub Saharan Berber villages, later the palm groves will be gone, and barren volcanic mountains will lead our way to desert. Sooner we start seeing the first spare desert dunes.
Then we Merzouga and the magnificent apricot colored sand dunes of Erg Chebbi.
Here we head off into the vastness of the dunes on a camel caravan accompanied by cameleers. The sturdy camel has been a mainstay of desert life over the centuries, being used to ship the precious cargoes from Sub Saharan African to the trading ports of the Mediterranean coast. You can ride or walk alongside as you slip into the pace of the caravan led by Berber guides and marvel at the awesome spectacle of the desert and the solitude a silence that comes with it.
As evening falls we retreat to the comforts and luxury of our desert camp where we will be greeted with mint tea and fresh dates or nuts. The camp is set in a beautiful spot between sand dunes and gives the impression of being alone in the vast African desert while enjoying the comforts of a nomad king. We will enjoy a delicious dinner followed by campfire time beneath the starry African sky. Nothing compares to the millions of stars, silence and peacefulness of the Sahara. We sleep in luxury tents feeling like we walk into one of the stories from the Arabian nights.
Desert Luxury Camp Meals: breakfast and dinner
Leaving the desert behind you’ll head up into the Atlas Mountains to the Todra Gorge, a spectacular gash in the hills that surround Tinerhir. The region is dotted with deserted kasbahs, palmeries and mud- brick villages, creating a photographer’s paradise. The cliffs loom above as you approach the mouth of Todra Gorge. Rising to 300m, the honey-colored hues of the sheer face change constantly as the sun moves across the sky. Local Berber people can often be seen moving their herds through the gorge. Heading into the gorge you’ll have the chance to stretch your legs on a walk to fully appreciate the beauty of the area. Then we travel to Boumalne Dades. Later we reach Ouarzazate that we pass and continue across the High Atlas to Marrakech.
