The 4 Day Tour Marrakech to Merzouga offers a perfect mix of adventure, cultural discovery, and desert experience for travelers seeking an authentic Moroccan journey.

Day 1: Marrakech – High Atlas – Skoura – Valley of Roses – Dades Gorges
Depart from Marrakech early in the morning and embark on a journey across the majestic High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi n’Tichka Pass at 2,260 meters. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, deep valleys, and traditional Berber villages nestled on the slopes. Continue to the Skoura Oasis, a verdant paradise dotted with centuries-old kasbahs hidden

 among lush palm groves, reflecting Morocco’s rich history of oasis settlements. Travel through the fragrant Valley of Roses, famous for its damascena rose fields and artisanal rosewater production, where locals continue centuries-old traditions. The day concludes in the dramatic Dades Gorges, often referred to as the “Grand Canyon of Morocco,” where sculpted cliffs rise sharply and winding roads offer endless photographic opportunities.

Day 2: Dades Gorges – Todra Canyons – Erfoud – Merzouga (Erg Chebbi)
After breakfast, continue your journey deeper into southern Morocco, passing through the Dades Valley and its traditional Berber villages and fortified ksars. Arrive at the breathtaking Todra Gorges, a narrow canyon with cliffs soaring up to 300 meters, a paradise for hikers, climbers, and photographers alike. The road then leads to Erfoud, a town known for its fossil workshops, where ancient remnants of

 prehistoric life can be discovered, and for its role as a gateway to the Sahara. By late afternoon, reach Merzouga at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes. Here, a camel caravan awaits to take you on a sunset trek across the golden sands, as the desert transforms with warm hues, offering a truly magical experience of the Sahara.

Day 3: Merzouga – Rissani – Draa Valley – Ouarzazate
Wake early to witness a spectacular sunrise over the dunes, an essential Sahara experience. Return by camel to your lodge for breakfast and a refreshing shower before setting out toward Rissani, a town steeped in caravan history and home to one of the most traditional souks in southern Morocco. Continue through the desert landscapes of Tazzarine and Alnif, with their arid vistas and scattered

 Berber villages, before entering the lush Draa Valley, Morocco’s longest river oasis. Here, the valley is lined with date palms, ancient kasbahs, and small villages, creating a striking contrast between the desert and fertile lands. The journey proceeds to Ouarzazate, widely known as Morocco’s cinematic gateway to the Sahara, where dramatic landscapes have inspired countless films.

Day 4: Ouarzazate – Ait Ben Haddou – High Atlas – Marrakech
Begin the day with an optional visit to the Atlas Film Studios, a hub of Moroccan cinema where blockbuster productions like Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and The Mummy were filmed. Explore the iconic ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Morocco’s most photogenic villages, with its earthen architecture perfectly preserved over centuries. From here, cross back over the

 High Atlas Mountains, enjoying sweeping vistas of mountain valleys, Berber villages, and winding roads. Descend into Marrakech in the late afternoon, concluding your unforgettable desert adventure and arriving back at your accommodation or the airport.
