Day 1: Marrakech – Telouet – Ouarzazate

After we meet up, our 7 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga starts. We will drive across the mountainous landscapes of Tizi N’Tichka, which is more than 2 kilometers above sea level. We can stop by some villages and landscapes along the way in case you want to explore something. For example, at Telouet, we might stop to explore the Kasbah of Pacha Glaoui, who is notorious for his wealth, power, and evil.

Before reaching Ouarzazate, we will explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site Ait Benhaddou Kasbah via Ounila Valley.

The latter site is a fortified city that captures the sights with its unique buildings. Ait Benhaddou is very popular as a filming site for Hollywood blockbusters.  After we reach Ouarzazate, we will stay at a nice hotel for the night where we can relax and have something to eat or drink.

Day 2: Ouarzazate – Draa valley – Zagora

On the second day of our 7 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga, we will drive via the Draa Valley, we will travel penetrating the diverse Berber villages and natural landscapes towards Zagora. We might stop at the ancient Koranic library of Tamagroute if you’re the kind of person who likes ancient spiritual texts. We can also visit the workshops where they manufacture pottery and purchase something tiny that you can take with you home.

At Zagora, will stop for the night in a luxury hotel or something more budget-friendly.

Day 3: Zagora – Tazarine – Alnif – Rissani – Merzouga

Departing from Zagora, passing by Draa Valley, our 7 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga will carry us across many landscapes and villages towards Tazarine and Alnif. We can have lunch in either of those towns.

After lunch, we will head to Merzouga where we will be close to the dunes. After visiting Rissani, we will stop at a hotel in Merzouga. After leaving the unnecessary luggage in the hotel room, we will head to the desert camps in the middle of Erg Chebbi Dunes, where we will spend the night. Riding the camels will be the transportation from there onward.

Erg Chebbi dunes are all that you imagine when you picture exotic deserts, especially when riding a camel. We will spend time with nomads who can keep us entertained with their spiritual desert music. Under the super-starry night sky.

Day 4: Merzouga – Erfoud – Touroug – Tinjdad – Tinghir — Toudra

In the early morning, we will wake up to witness the beauty of the desert sunrise before we ride the camels back to the town.
