Marrakech – Ouarzazate – Gorge of Todgha – Erfoud – Merzouga

3 days 2 nights

In Merzouga, a desert adventure rides a camel through the Sahara on a 3-day tour from Marrakech, including an overnight in a Berber desert camp. Combining natural and historic highlights makes the most of the overland trip past towering gorges, ancient cities, and towering dunes. By booking an excursion into the remote desert area, you’ll trade complex, do-it-yourself logistics for an immersion in western Morocco's dramatic landscapes.

Start your tour early. Visit the ancient Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, which was designated by UNESCO in 1987 as a World Heritage Site.
Ait Benhaddou has been the backdrop for over 20 films, including Gladiator, Indiana Jones, and Lawrence of Arabia. Take time to discover the purely traditional Moroccan architectural style in which the various Kasbahs were built.
Ouarzazate is also home to the exceptional Musée du Cinéma. Film buffs will be delighted by the selection of artistic works on display.

Along the way, you'll enjoy brightly colored panoramic landscapes and gaze upon impressive Berber villages... Head for the verdant Dades Valley, with its spectacular rock formations, and the City of Roses, via the fascinating Skoura palm grove.

Head for the dunes of Erg Chebbi in the Sahara's Merzouga desert. Stop in Erfoud for a lunch break and sample the exceptional Madfouna, a local delicacy par excellence. Then head off to the dunes for an extraordinary view.
Camels can take you on a Sahara desert adventure. The itinerary will take you around 1.5 hours to reach the big dunes and watch the sunset. Spend the night in nomad tents and dance to the rhythms of Saharan folklore. An experience you'll never forget.
Ready to go? Don't forget your camera. The magic of the desert will give you the most beautiful shots!

    WAW! Quel magnifique circuit!

    Ce circuit a répondu a notre souhait de voir un maximum de paysages, de rencontrer des locaux et d’observer leur mode de vie.

    Nous avons reçu les informations essentielles à la compréhension de la vie dans le Sud Marocain et les visites guidées étaient de qualité.

    Par ailleurs la cerise sur la gâteau a été la rencontre avec notre chauffeur Achraf! Un vrai coup de cœur pour ses qualités humaines et son sourire. Nous ne l’oublierons pas !

    Escursione molto ben organizzata! Gli hotel dispongono di una piscina, molto piacevole dopo questi lunghi viaggi in minibus con aria condizionata. Abdel, il nostro autista era molto competente, molto accessibile e una fonte di informazioni! Il tempo trascorso nel deserto è stato magico. Lo consiglio ????
