Overview

Duration
3 days
Starts in
Marrakech
Ends in
Marrakech

This is the most popular desert trip from Marrakech, and for good reason: three days let you reach the big dunes of Merzouga without rushing. On day one you cross the High Atlas, visit Ait Ben Haddou and sleep in the Dades valley among kasbahs and red cliffs. Day two takes you through the narrow Todra Gorge and the oases of Tafilalet to Merzouga, where a camel carries you into the Erg Chebbi dunes for sunset and a night in a desert camp. On day three you watch the sunrise and drive back to Marrakech through the Draa valley and the Atlas. A private driver means you stop whenever you like.
