Duration
10 days
Starts in
Casablanca
Ends in
Casablanca

This 10-day tour from Casablanca is built for those who want more than one night in the Sahara. After a first evening in Casablanca and a day crossing to Fes, you spend two nights in Merzouga with a full day around the high dunes of Erg Chebbi. Then you take the quiet southern road through Alnif and Tazzarine to the Zagora desert, where you spend two more nights: one in the town and one in a camp among the smaller dunes of the Draa, a very different landscape. You return through the Draa valley and Ouarzazate to Ait Ben Haddou, then cross the Atlas to Marrakech for two nights before driving back to Casablanca.
