Itinerary of 3 Days from Marrakech to Merzouga Tour:

Day 1: MARRAKECH – AIT BENHADDOU – DADES VALLEY

At 7:30 AM, the gentle heat of a Moroccan morning marks the beginning of your 3-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga Desert. Marrakech is a meeting and pick-up point from which we set out for Ait Benhaddou. While this ancient village is a sight to behold, the journey to reach it is incredible alone. We’ll follow the Tizi n’Tichka road peppered with High Atlas views. Once they get too wonderful to move past, you can arrange a photo session or simply stop to savor the scenery.


During this Marrakech to Merzouga 3-day desert tour, you’ll spend some time exploring Ait Benhaddou and its ensemble of kasbahs and film-making locations before heading to Ouarzazate and Kasbah Taourirt. In the afternoon, we’ll drive through the enchanting Valley of Roses, making our way to Tinghir. The city is our overnight destination. After checking into the hotel, you’ll enjoy a delightful dinner and rest to replenish your energy for the adventures that await you further as part of our 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga journey.

Day 2: DADES VALLEY – TODRA GORGES – MERZOUGA

Start this day by having breakfast and hitting the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs (you can probably guess the vistas that await you there). We’ll make a stop in the peaceful green oasis and take an unmarked path near the river until we reach the spectacular Todra canyons. This area is brimming with cliffs you can admire while savoring your lunch at a local café.

 

In the afternoon, our 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga takes you to Rissani, a small town that often serves as a launchpad for Sahara expeditions. From there, we’ll journey to Merzouga during a short one-hour drive. More specifically, you’ll end up in Erg Chebbi, where a camel caravan will greet you with excitement. If you’re up for it, join a ride through the dunes.


As night approaches, this part of your 3-day trip from Marrakech to Merzouga ends with a gastronomical and sensory experience. You’ll settle in a Berber camp at the edge of the desert for a lavish feast of Moroccan delights, musical entertainment, and an overnight stay.

Day 3: MERZOUGA – DRAA VALLEY – MARRAKECH

Greet a new day while having breakfast in the camp and absorbing the vibes of the morning desert. Mount a camel to take you to the major road so you don’t have to trudge on the sand. Then, take a seat in an MCT 4×4 or minibus for a return trip via the Draa Valley.

We’ll stop for lunch in a majestic place with Insta-worthy High Atlas views. From there, we’ll leave directly for Marrakech. You’ll be back in the city at around 7:00 PM.
