3 Day Desert Tour from Marrakech – Overview
3-Day Private Trip from Marrakech to the Merzouga Dunes
Our 3 day desert tour from Marrakech is the classic way to see the Sahara on a short trip. In three days, you cross the High Atlas, visit ancient kasbahs and sleep in the dunes of Merzouga. You travel in a private car with your own driver-guide. In addition, every stop is planned so the long drives feel easy.
From the Atlas to the dunes
First, you climb the Tizi n Tichka pass with wide views of the mountains. Then you explore Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and pass through Ouarzazate. After that, you spend the night in the Dades Valley. The next day, you walk into the Todra Gorge before reaching the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.
A night in a Sahara camp
In the late afternoon, you ride a camel into the dunes to watch the sunset. Later, you enjoy dinner, drums and a campfire under the stars. Early the next morning, you can climb a dune for the sunrise. Finally, you drive back to Marrakech, arriving in the evening.
