Marrakech to Merzouga Desert Tour in

Start & end in Marrakesh 5 days Up to 10

About this trip

Five days from Marrakech across the High Atlas to the dunes of Merzouga and back, taking in Berber villages, old kasbahs and desert camps along the way.

You'll cross the Tizi n'Tichka Pass, walk through the UNESCO-listed Aït Ben Haddou, and follow the Dades and Draa valleys before reaching the Erg Chebbi dunes, with a night camel ride and a stay in a desert camp under the stars.

It's a private, fully guided trip, so the pace is set around you rather than a fixed group, making it a relaxed way to see the south of Morocco in one loop from Marrakech.

What you'll do

  • Walk through the kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou
  • Cross the High Atlas via the Tizi n'Tichka Pass
  • Ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes at sunset
  • Spend a night in a desert camp with Berber music by the fire

Good to know
