Our company, Morocco Shining Tours, arranges a 3 days tour Marrakech to Merzouga desert, which is the most well-known desert trip. The high Atlas Mountains, the Ait ben Haddou Kasbah, and a night in the Merzouga Desert will all be sights you travel by.
Merzouga is a tiny city out at the edge of Erg Chebbi in the Sahara Desert. This town is just 20 km away from the border to Algeria where the traditional paved road comes to an end, and the amazing Sahara Desert dunes start. Merzouga desert is one of the most common points of Bivouacs and Moroccan Camel treks. The 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga is one of the most coveted Morocco desert tours.
Your journey begins with a morning pickup from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. Travel across the High Atlas Mountains through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, with stops to enjoy the mountain scenery and take photos.
Continue to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous filming location for Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Explore the historic kasbah before continuing through Ouarzazate and the Valley of Roses. Arrive in the Dades Valley in the evening and enjoy a relaxing overnight stay.
After breakfast, explore the beautiful landscapes of the Dades Valley before heading to Todra Gorge. Take a short walk through the dramatic canyon and enjoy its impressive cliffs.
Continue through the desert landscapes toward Rissani, where you can explore the traditional market and discover local products. In the afternoon, arrive in Merzouga, at the edge of the Sahara Desert.
Enjoy a camel trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes, stopping to watch the sunset. Continue to your desert camp for a traditional dinner, Berber music, and a memorable night beneath the stars.
Wake up early to enjoy a spectacular Sahara sunrise over the golden dunes. After breakfast, begin your journey back to Marrakech.
Travel through the scenic Draa Valley, famous for its palm-filled oasis and beautiful desert landscapes. Continue toward Ouarzazate, with time for photo stops along the way.
Cross the High Atlas Mountains through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass and enjoy the changing scenery before arriving in Marrakech in the afternoon or evening, marking the end of your 3-day Morocco desert adventure.

Morocco is a different country when Hassan is the tour guide. Always on time, thoughtful for our needs and requests, driving like a professional, excellent English and part of the team! We thoroughly enjoyed Morocco, and Hassan was a major reason for it. Highly recommended. Thank you for the memories.
Morocco is a beautiful country but it is difficult to explore on your own. It was a place we wanted to visit ages ago . We finally decided to go when a friend shared her experiences with us and recommended Hassan. I am glad we trusted her judgment because Hassan made all the difference. He organised for us
We went on a nine day trip to Morocco with our organizer and driver Hassan! The trip to Morocco was excellent and well planned . The accommodation was good and the experience amazing! The drive around Morocco started from Fez and ended in Marrakesh ! The drive around Morocco was comfortable and interesting !Thanks Hassan for everything!
