Three-Days Tours From Ouarzazat To Merzouga

Embarking on a three-day tour from Ouarzazate to the enchanting Sahara Desert in Merzouga offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse oneself in the breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Morocco. The journey commences in Ouarzazate, often referred to as the “Gateway to the Sahara,” where travelers are treated to stunning views of the Atlas Mountains and historical sites such as the ancient Ait Benhaddou. As the tour progresses, participants traverse through the arid expanses of the Draa Valley, adorned with palm groves and traditional Berber villages, before arriving at the majestic dunes of Merzouga. Here, travelers can experience the mesmerizing sunset over the golden sands, indulge in traditional Moroccan cuisine, and partake in camel treks that evoke the spirit of adventure. This curated experience not only highlights the natural beauty of the desert but also fosters a deeper understanding of the local culture and traditions.

With this magnificent journey from Fes to Merzouga, you can see the southernmost region of Morocco and go camel trekking across the magnificent Erg Chebbi dunes to get to the camp in the heart of the desert, where you will spend the night in a nomad tent fashioned from goat and camel hair. You may take in the landscape of the middle Atlas in these three days, see the cedar forest, feed the monkeys (barbarian apes), see nomads who live in tents, and explore the Ziz Gorge and its Valley. Learn about the fossil-working process at Erfoud and, more importantly, sample some of the best dates available. You’ll also visit the sand dunes and

Day 1 : Ouarzazate – roses Valley – dades valley - Todra gorges.

We pick you up from your hotel in the morning to begin our three-day desert tour from Ouarzazate to Merzouga and the Dades Gorge, passing via the Oasis of Skoura, where various historic kasbahs, some of which are unfortunately in ruins, remain among palm trees. From here, our path takes us past Kela’a M’gouna, the Valley of Roses, where we stop to admire the cosmetics manufactured from the valley’s plentiful petals. These goods are popular and highly respected across Morocco. From here, you may take an off-road route to get a better view of the terrain.

Day 2: Todra gorges – Erfoud – Merzouga desert.

After breakfast, the journey continues a little distance to Tinghir and the very distinct Toudgha gorges, where you may take a short stroll to see the sheer sides of the ravine and the tiny stretch of sky above. From there, you proceed to the Chebbi dunes via Tinjdad, the Oasis of Tafilalet in Erfoud, famed for its Date Festival, and Rissani, which is the seat of the Alaouite family of the current Moroccan monarch. Between Tinjdad and Erfoud, you may stop and explore the amazing subterranean water tunnels deep beneath the soil, which are constantly cold and avoid evaporation of this source of irrigation. In Erfoud, you may observe the transformation of thousands of fossils into various items. Lunch will take place in a Berber hamlet along the road. At the bivouac, you are greeted with a glass of tea before riding a camel to the top of the dunes to watch the sunset. Dinner is followed by a night in a nomad tent at the foot of the dunes.

Day 3: Merzouga desert - nkob - Draa valley - Agdez - Ouarzazate.

If you get up early enough, you may enjoy the spectacle of the dawn, when the color of the dunes and the movement of shadows are breathtaking. The journey continues to the Dra’a Valley via the town of Tazzarine (as shown in the film ‘Babel’) and then to N’Qob for lunch. The adventure continues in the afternoon to Tanasikht, where we will travel along the historic caravan road to explore the true Draa Valley, complete with massive palm trees and ancient settlements. You return to Ouarzazate, where our three-day desert journey from Ouarzazate to Merzouga Sahara concludes.
