Best 3 Days desert tour from Marrakech, A Real adventure to the heart of Morocco:
If you're dreaming of golden dunes, ancient kasbahs, and camel rides into the sunset — the 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga is your ticket to Morocco’s heart. It’s one of the most popular short trips for travelers who want to blend culture, landscapes, and adventure all in one journey.
Day 1: From Marrakech to Dades Valley — Mountains, History & Mudbrick Kasbahs
Your adventure begins in Marrakech. After an early pickup, you'll drive through the High Atlas Mountains, zigzagging across the Tizi n’Tichka pass with stunning panoramic views.
The first major stop is Aït Ben Haddou, a fortified village made of clay and straw — so beautiful and timeless, it’s starred in movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. From there, continue to Ouarzazate, Morocco’s “Hollywood,” and onward through the Rose Valley until you reach the peaceful Dades Gorge, where you’ll spend your first night.
Day 2: Dades to Merzouga — Gorges, Palms & the Sahara Dunes
Day two takes you deeper into the south. First, walk through the towering Todra Gorge, where sheer cliffs rise around you like a canyon carved by time.
As the landscape changes, palm trees fade into sand. By afternoon, you'll arrive in Merzouga, at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes — the gateway to the Sahara.
Here, your camel awaits. Ride into the desert as the sun sets behind the dunes, and spend the night in a traditional Berber camp with music, local food, and stars as far as the eye can see.
Day 3: Back to Marrakech — A Journey Through the Draa Valley
Rise early to catch a magical desert sunrise, then ride back to Merzouga village. After breakfast, begin the return journey through the vast Draa Valley, with palm groves and ancient caravan routes guiding the way.
You’ll arrive back in Marrakech in the evening — dusty, happy, and full of stories.
