Desert Tours from Marrakech — 2 to 4-Day Sahara & Atlas Trips

A shared 3-day / 2-night desert tour from Marrakech to the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga, from €70 per person (Standard €95, Luxury €120), leaving at 07:30. The price covers transport, a hotel night in Dades and a night in a desert camp, 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners and a 1-hour camel ride; lunches are extra. The route: cross the High Atlas via Tizi n'Tichka to the UNESCO kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou and Kasbah Taourirt, then the Rose Valley and Dades. Day 2 drive to Merzouga for a camel ride at sunset and a Berber desert camp with drumming and dinner. Day 3 sunrise over the dunes, then return to Marrakech — or continue to Fes for +€25.

Our signature Sahara experience: cross the High Atlas via Tizi n'Tichka, visit the UNESCO kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou and the Dades Valley, then ride camels into the Erg Chebbi dunes to sleep under the stars in a traditional Berber camp.

A four-day private walking trek through the great Erg Chegaga — Morocco's wildest and most remote dune sea, far south of Zagora. Starting from Mhamid, you walk each day with a Berber guide while camels carry the water, food and camp gear. Nights are spent in nomadic bivouacs at Sidi Naji, the Ezzahar dunes and Kriaat Jmal — dinner cooked on the fire, stargazing and traditional music under the sky. A slow, immersive alternative to the classic Merzouga road trip.

A fully private two-day ascent of Jebel Toubkal (4,167 m) — the highest summit in North Africa — from Marrakech. Day one drives you through Asni and the Berber villages to Imlil, where you meet your local mountain guide and hike up to the Toubkal refuge at 3,200 m. Day two starts before dawn for the summit push: a rocky ascent to a panoramic ridge overlooking the entire High Atlas, then a long descent to Imlil and transfer back to Marrakech. A serious but achievable trek for anyone in good hiking shape — no technical climbing required.

A shared 2-day / 1-night desert trip from Marrakech to Zagora for €60 / MAD 600 per person, leaving at 07:30. It includes transport, hotel pickup, a guide at Aït Ben Haddou, a 1-hour camel ride, a night in a Berber camp, dinner and breakfast; lunches are extra. Zagora is not Merzouga: its dunes are smaller than Erg Chebbi, and you trade dune size for one night instead of two. Climb the Tizi n'Tichka pass, spend the morning in UNESCO-listed Aït Ben Haddou with a local guide, visit Kasbah Taourirt in Ouarzazate, then continue south to Zagora for a sunset camel ride and a night in a Berber desert camp under the stars. Wake up to sunrise over the dunes and return to Marrakech via Ouarzazate.
