Tour Plan

Day 1: Errachidia - Ziz Valley - Merzouga Dunes & Luxury Camp Merzouga :

Your unbelievable 4-Day Desert Tour from Errachidia to Ouarzazate starts the moment when your professional individual driver receives you at the location. We, first, instantly turn off southward, in the beautiful valley of Ziz, and pass between the brilliant green groves of palm, which cut a jagged, inconceivable contrast with the rusty-red desert rock. Here I usually stop and wonder at the ancient khettara (traditional irrigation canals) which except this oasis.

Then we explore Erfoud, the so-called Gate of the Sahara and with its fossil workshops, and then arrive at the golden desert Merzouga. Late in the afternoon, your tamed camel is waiting so that you can join it on an unforgettable ride into the Erg Chebbi dunes to experience a memorable sunset. Lastly, you come to your own desert luxury camp Morocco, and all you can hear is the beat of the Berber drums and the deep silence of Saharan night.

Day 2: Merzouga Exploration - Nomad Life - Premium Desert Stay :

To begin your second day, climb the nearest dune to experience an unbelievable sunrise in the Saharan desert, as the first rays become colored with orange, then with gold, a really sacred moment of any vacation in a luxury Sahara desert tour. Following the tasty breakfast, a personal 4x4 will start the interactive tour of the Merzouga area.

We then go to the musical village of Khamlia, the Gnawa musicians, descendants of the sub-Saharan traders, welcome us to the musical village with their hypnotic and spiritual rhythms- a sound soothing to the soul. Then we find real nomadic families residing in traditional black tents and we will be able to share mint tea with them and hear first-hand about their simple and hard desert ways. Lastly, we move to the foot of the dunes to stay at a good and luxurious hotel having a nice dinner to enjoy the desert calmness to the fullest before proceeding to the second part of your trip.

Day 3: Merzouga - Todra Gorges - Dades Valley :

After a breakfast, we leave Merzouga and take the route to the west, changing the open desert with the immense mountain views of the High Atlas. Furthermore, we cross Tinghir to get the spectacular Todra Gorges first. We pull up at the point where the sides of the canyon are 300 meters soaring into the heavens, virtually overhead, you will recall the coolness of the shadow and the sound of the stream, such an unbelievable relief to desert heat.

Berber villages and fortified ksour along the way are the next to visit by our driving. Thence to the great Dades Valley, called the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs. We pull over to take pictures of the well known Monkey Fingers, weird carvings of rocks which are made by centuries of wind and water. At last, we are in our beautiful accommodation in the valley and we get to enjoy our dinner with the dramatic scenery of the canyons.

Day 4: Dades Valley - Rose Valley - Ouarzazate - Ait Benhaddou - End of Tour :

We take the well-known "Road of a Thousand Kasbahs" on your last day. First we go through the beautiful and perfumed valley of the Rose and the town of Kelaat M’Gouna where we may visit a local cooperative to see how rose water and oil are made.

Then we will reach Ouarzazate, also referred to as the Hollywood of Africa, which forms a major stop on this Morocco luxury tours route, and the traditional entrance point to the desert. Furthermore, our first destination is the great Ait Benhaddou Kasbah which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and, perhaps most importantly, the most beautiful fortified village in Morocco known as a cinematic hub in the world.
