Itinerary of the 5 Days Desert Tour Marrakech To Merzouga:

DAY 1: MARRAKECH – OUARZAZATE

Departure from your Hotel/Riad in Marrakech at 8 o’clock heading towards the High Atlas Mountains. On the way, there will be opportunities to stop and take photos at panoramic landscapes. The first scheduled stop is at the Kasbah of Telouet, which served as a palatial residence and the headquarters of the powerful Glaoui tribe. Here you will stop for lunch. Then the route crosses the Ounila Valley and leads along the stunning road to the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, the oldest and most famous Kasbah in Morocco and a UNESCO World Heritage site. In Ouarzazate you spend the night in a Riad.

DAY 2: OUARZAZATE – DADES GORGES – TODRA GORGES

Head to the Dades Gorge, passing the Oasis of Skoura, where numerous ancient kasbahs, some sadly in ruins, stand amongst the palm trees. From here, our route takes us through Kela’a M’gouna, the Valley of Roses, where we stop to see the cosmetic articles made locally from the valley’s abundant roses. These products are well-known throughout Morocco and are highly valued. From here, you take an off-road route to have a better impression of the landscape. You stop in the Dades gorges for lunch. The trip continues a short distance to Tinghir and the very different Todra gorges, where you spend the night in a Hotel or Kasbah.

DAY 3: TODRA GORGES – MERZOUGA CAMEL SAFARI

After breakfast, there is time to walk by the river palm groove. Lunch will either be here in the gorges or later at the bivouac at the Erg Chebbi dunes. You drive there via the Ziz Valley, the Oasis of Tafilalet, Erfoud and Rissani. In the afternoon you can take a two-hour camel ride in the Sahara. The sunset from the top of the dunes is spectacular (250m) and afterwards there is dinner and the night in a nomad tent at the foot of the dunes.

DAY 4: MERZOUGA – N'KOB – AGDEZ

If you wake up early enough, you can watch the spectacle of the sunrise, when the colour of the dunes and the play of shadows are an awesome sight. The itinerary continues to the Dra’a Valley via the village of Tazzarine (featured in the film ‘Babel’), and on to N’kob for lunch. In the afternoon the journey takes us to Tansikht to drive along the ancient caravan routes and discover the real Dra’a Valley with its huge palm trees and ancient villages. At the end of the afternoon, we stop in Agdez for the night in a kasbah.

DAY 5: AGDEZ – MARRAKECH

You pay a visit to Kasbah Tamnougalte before returning to Ouarzazate, via the mountain pass of Tizi-n-Tinfifte (1660m). Once in Ouarzazate, we will visit the Kasbah of Taourirt, originally the residence of the Pasha of Marrakech and a symbol of the feudal period of the lords of Atlas. Afterwards, an unpaved track to the Fint Oasis nestling among the mountains, which once served as the crossroads of caravans, provides a hidden delight. Then, return to Marrakech where you will complete the trip by the early evening.
