We will start your 4 day Ouarzazate to Merzouga desert tour with a pick up in Ouarzazate, then drive to the famous Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It’s a location for numerous movies such as Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator and Game Of Thrones, and many more.
After lunch in Ait Ben Haddou village, continue to Dades Gorges via Ouarzazate through the “Road of the Thousand Kasbahs.” Arrive in the evening and spend the night in a Hotel/Riad in Dades Gorges.
Learn more about Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah on UNESCO’s official site.
After breakfast and a shower, depart from Dades Valley toward Todra Gorges. Known as one of the most impressive canyons in Morocco, Todra Gorges are so narrow they resemble a human throat.
You’ll have time to walk through the canyon, enjoying the river views.
Continue to Merzouga, passing palm tree oases and the town of Erfoud — gateway to the Saharan oasis of Tafilalet. Depending on arrival, you may relax before the camel trek or start it immediately to spend the night in a Berber camp.
The camel trek usually begins around 5:00–6:00 PM and lasts about an hour. Upon arrival, marvel at the Sahara dunes and sunset, enjoy Moroccan tea, dinner, music, and a campfire.
After breakfast and a camel ride back to Merzouga, begin your desert exploration by 4×4. Visit a nomadic family near the Morocco–Algeria border, then the village of dark-skinned people originally from Sudan.
