Prepare for an unforgettable journey as we embark on a 3-day expedition from the cinematic city of Ouarzazate to the breathtaking landscapes of the Merzouga Desert. This adventure promises a rich tapestry of culture, nature, and the golden dunes of the Sahara. Let’s delve into the allure of this captivating escapade!

Day 1: Ouarzazate to Merzouga

Ouarzazate: Gateway to Cinematic Marvels

Our adventure kicks off in Ouarzazate, a city known as the “Hollywood of Morocco.” Explore the iconic Atlas Film Studios, where countless movies have come to life, and the historic Taourirt Kasbah, a testament to the city’s rich history.

Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou: A UNESCO Gem

Our journey takes us to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou. Marvel at the intricate mud-brick architecture and wander through the narrow alleys that have witnessed scenes from famous films.

Todgha Gorge: Nature’s Grandeur

As we venture further, the majestic Todgha Gorge awaits. Towering red cliffs surround us, carved by the Todgha River over centuries. It’s a natural masterpiece and a striking contrast to the cinematic wonders explored earlier.

Rissani Souk: Diving into Local Traditions

The day concludes in Rissani, where we immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the local souk. Indulge in authentic Moroccan cuisine and experience the lively energy of this historical town.

Day 2: Merzouga

Erg Chebbi: A Sea of Golden Dunes

Merzouga welcomes us with the mesmerizing Erg Chebbi, a vast expanse of golden dunes. Whether by camel trek or a leisurely walk, the dunes invite us to explore their ever-shifting beauty.

Sunrise Serenity: Nature’s Canvas

Rise early to witness the Sahara’s magical sunrise over Erg Chebbi. The dunes come alive with hues of gold and pink, creating a surreal spectacle that marks the beginning of a new day in the desert.

Nomadic Culture: A Genuine Encounter

Connect with the local nomadic communities that call the desert home. Share stories, learn about their traditions, and savor the warmth of traditional tea—a genuine encounter that adds a cultural richness to our journey.

Day 3: Merzouga to Ouarzazate

Fossil Exploration in Erfoud

Our final day takes us to Erfoud, known for its fascinating fossils. Delve into the world of ancient treasures hidden within the rocks, and gain insights into the geological wonders that make this region unique.

Tinghir Oasis: Nature’s Oasis in the Desert

Our journey concludes with a visit to the rejuvenating Tinghir Oasis—a lush retreat in the heart of the desert. Palm groves and cool streams provide a refreshing contrast to the arid surroundings.

Отличный тур из Касабланки в Марракеш с остановкой в пустыне
Бронировали 3 дня из Касабланки в Марракеш на двоих. Получилось отличное путешествие через всё Марокко. Водителем был Аллал, хорошо говорит по-английски, делится интересными фактами о проезжаемых местах. По приезду в Марракеш поняли, что хотели бы посмотреть город с гидом, Али и Аллал помогли оперативно всё организовать. Также нам нужна была помощь с покупкой железнодорожных билетов, здесь тоже помогли. Отличная компания, рекомендуем :)

Awesome 4 Days, 3 Nights for First Timers
2 Canadians who dont speak any French or Arabic decides to explore Morocco. We found this through TA and decided to go with it. TLDR; WE HAD A BLAST. Marrakesh to Fes! Day 1: we were picked up from our Riad by pur driver/tour guide ALLAL who helped us with pur bags and off we went. We zoomed through the countryside and up the Atlas Mountains. Anytime we wanted to stop for a picture, we stopped for a picture. ALLAL explained everything in english, and taught us the history and new words for our journey. We ended our night at Dades Valley. Day 2. Off to the desert we went. We arrived at the edge of the sand dune and 2 camel awaited us. We rode in for 1.5 hours, enjoyin the view and pictures. The night at the camp was amazing. It was quiet, and comfy and felt private. Food was amazing. Day 3. We enjoyed the tour of the surrounding desert and its towns. We wanted to ATV and knew it would cost extra. 50 USD for 1 hour. We spoke with ALLAL, and he set it up so we ATV back to our camp. We paid for 1 hour, we were driving for atleast 45 minutes more. Day 4. End of our adventure. We knew we had a long way to go, but ALLAL made sure we still stopped for pictures and to mKe sure we were comfortable! Recommendation: If i was to come back or if friends who are new to Morocco visit, I would encourage them to do the tour. It was easy, fun and relaxing!

Great tour for a first experience in the desert + Atlas mountains
We opted for the 3 day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga and had a great time from beginning to end. Our driver Allal was very friendly and accommodating, the landscapes absolutely breathtaking and the desert camp was even better than we imagined! We would’ve loved to stay one more day in the desert though, unique experience!

Recommended Sahara tour
We booked a 3 days Marrakech to Sahara to Fes Private tour. Zaid is a safe driver. He will also recommend where to buy souvenirs for better price. Although he didn’t give us too much details on the history of Ait Benhaddou, due to his English is not as good to explain the history, but he gave us many details about the Berber culture. He gave us enough time for all sites and asked for our opinion of some of the restaurant that we visited. We stayed in luxury tent in Sahara desert. Everything is great , especially the young camel guy “Mohammad”, he took beautiful pictures of our camel ride which made us good memory. We expect better breakfast for luxury tour, this can be improved.
