4 Days Morocco Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga itinerary

Arriving in Ouarzazate, we visit the Taourirte Kasbahs. Lunch is at your leisure before continuing the journey to Zagora through the Draa Valley.

This remarkable river has sustained a vast oasis of about 200 kilometers at the base of the Anti-Atlas mountains. The Draa Valley has been a home for Sahara desert nomads for many years. Along the way, numerous palm groves offer shade amid Kasbahs and Ksours, surrounded by fields of corn, barley, vegetables, and henna plantations.

Enjoy dinner and spend the night in Zagora.

Today’s journey takes you across the volcanic peaks of the Anti-Atlas Mountains, heading southeast through surreal landscapes dotted with isolated oases.

Lunch will be at the serene oasis of Alnif before continuing to Merzouga and then Erg Chebbi, the location of your Sahara desert camp. Upon arrival, switch to camel transportation for an Erg Chebbi dunes camel trek, offering an unforgettable view: Erg Chebbi’s mesmerizing sunset against the ever-changing sand dunes.

Return to the camp and prepare for a delightful Moroccan dinner under the stars while local nomads entertain you with their drum music. Take in the constellation of stars in the clear night sky before retiring for the night.

Following breakfast at your desert camp, embark on a drive along the scenic route of the 1001 Kasbahs, passing rivers, lush oases, and fortified Kasbahs on your way to Tinghir. Here, take a leisurely stroll through the oasis alongside the Todgha riverbank leading to the stunning Todrha canyons, where lunch will be served.
