Along the way, you can take in the stunning views of the Atlas Mountains and see traditional Berber villages, with stops for photos.

Next, we’ll visit Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a famous fortified village that became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. Many well-known films, such as Gladiator, Obelix, The Mummy, The Jewel of the Nile, and Sahara with Penélope Cruz, were filmed here. You’ll have free time to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.

We’ll continue our Morocco desert tour to Ouarzazate, where you’ll visit the Ouarzazate Atlas film studio, the largest in Morocco. You’ll also see the Taourirt Kasbah, another important heritage site.

After that, we’ll drive through the beautiful palm groves of Skoura and the Rose Valley, which is famous for its annual rose festival and cosmetic products in May. As we travel through the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs, you’ll see many centuries-old adobe kasbahs. We’ll arrive at Dades Valley in the afternoon, where you’ll have dinner and spend the night at a hotel or riad overlooking the valley.

Day 3 : Dades Valley - Todra Gorges - Erfoud - Merzouga desert and camel trekking {270 km} 4 Hours

After breakfast at your hotel in Dades Valley, we will continue our Morocco desert trip toward Todra Gorge. Along the way, you’ll see Berber villages scattered across the landscape. We’ll pass through Tinghir and stop to admire the beautiful Todra Valley, which is full of palm trees. When we arrive at Todra Gorge, one of Morocco’s most popular rock climbing spots, we’ll take a short walk through its impressive grey and pink canyons, which can reach up to 300 meters high. Enjoy the unique scenery and take some photos.
Next, we’ll head to Tinjdad and Touroug, where you’ll have free time for lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch, we’ll continue to Erfoud, which marks the start of the Saharan oasis of Tafilalet.

Afterward, we’ll continue to Merzouga and the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes. From there, you’ll take a camel ride for about an hour and a half to reach your Nomadic Berber camp. During the trek, we’ll stop in the middle of the dunes to watch the sunset. You can try sandboarding if you like, take photos, and enjoy the scenery.

After sunset, you’ll continue to the camp, where you’ll be welcomed with a glass of mint tea. Enjoy dinner, a campfire, music, and an overnight stay at the Merzouga desert camp.

We suggest starting your day early to enjoy a beautiful sunrise near the camp. After taking in these special moments, you can have breakfast and a shower at the camp. Then, you will ride camels back to the starting point, or you can choose a 4WD transfer instead.

You will meet your driver and begin a 4×4 excursion around Merzouga to explore interesting sites near the Erg Chebbi dunes. We will visit the Hassi Labied oasis to see its old irrigation canals and local agriculture. Next, we will head south to the seasonal Srij Lake, if there is water in it.

After lunch at a local restaurant, we will return to the village for dinner and spend the night at a hotel overlooking the dunes.

Afterward, we will drive through the dry pre-desert area, where you can see acacia trees that are typical of this landscape.

As we travel to the Draa Valley, we will stop to enjoy the beautiful views of the river that gives the valley its name. This is the longest river in Morocco. Our 7-day Marrakech desert trip then continues toward Ouarzazate, crossing the Anti-Atlas mountains.
