Begin your journey to the Erg Chebbi desert from Marrakech in the morning, crossing the High Atlas Mountains and passing through Kasbahs and Berber villages. We'll make stops to take photos, enjoy the scenery, stretch our legs, and have coffee. At Tizi N’Tichka, admire panoramic views before reaching Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah the most important first-day stop. Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco's best-known ksar and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has featured in films like Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, and Game of Thrones. After a hearty lunch at a local café, continue to the Dades Valley via Ouarzazate, the Skoura oasis, and Klaa Mgouna, the rose valley capital known for its traditional rose water distillation factories. Enjoy the stunning landscapes and unique culture along the way. End the day with an overnight stay in the Dades Valley, immersing yourself in the tranquil desert environment and preparing for the next leg of your adventure to Erg Chebbi.

After enjoying an excellent traditional breakfast, our 3-day group tour of the Moroccan Merzouga desert continues. We will take the road of the 1001 Kasbahs to the oasis of Tinghir and the streets lined with ancient Kasbahs and many attractive Berber villages. We will then head to Tineghir, an impressive 15 km valley full of date palm trees. We will enjoy the high grey and pink rock walls surrounding the road.
Next, we will head to Erg Chebbi, located in Merzouga. Upon arriving at the famous dunes of the Sahara Desert, we will let you enjoy a camel ride while watching the sunset, heading towards the oasis where the camp is located. There's nothing more fascinating than spending the night in the Merzouga Sahara dunes in one of the traditional nomadic tents or outdoors under the shooting stars. If you wish, you can also spend magical moments playing drums with the experienced camel guide.
