Luxury Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech

Your Best Luxury Marrakech Desert Tour begins at 8:00 a.m. with a pick-up from your riad or hotel. Depart for Ouarzazate, the gateway to the desert through the High Atlas Mountains and the Tizi n’Tichka pass, where you’ll enjoy beautiful views, stunning scenery, and Berber villages. We’ll make a stop at the universal heritage site of the Kasbah d’Ait Benhaddou, as it was named by UNESCO in 1987. An old village that has been used as a backdrop for over 20 films, including “Gladiator”, “Indiana Jones” and “Laurence of Arabia”. Enjoy a walk to explore the traditional Moroccan style of architecture in which the kasbahs are built. Depart for Ouarzazate then Skoura for dinner and overnight at the hotel.

After breakfast, you’ll head for the Todra Gorge, a 300-meter-high canyon in the eastern part of Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, near the town of Tinghir, where you can go hiking, then on to the Sahara desert, Merzouga, to Erg Chebbi, where the dunes appear out of nowhere. Then enjoy an hour-long camel ride across the desert at sunset to our private camp surrounded by towering sand dunes. Relax, listen to traditional Berber music, and watch the moon and stars in the stunning Sahara. Dinner and overnight at Merzouga desert camp.

After a Deluxe breakfast here in our Luxury Merzouga Desert Camp, we will pick you up by a 4WD vehicle and start our explorative day of the Sahara:
– Drive to the area where the nomads are settling in. They will happily host you
in one of their tents for tea. It is an excellent opportunity to know how they
live in a harsh environment away from civilization.
– Visit a hidden abandoned village in the middle of nowhere! The town is home
to the Galena mines. You will get to see them too.
– Drive to another village called Khamlia, where you will listen to Gnaoua music
played by the locals. Their origin is from southern African countries like
Sudan. Here, you can also have lunch in a local restaurant.
– After lunch, we drive to a lake near the town of Merzouga if it is full before we
head to your riad

Wake up to a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes to have Breakfast. Then head for the main Saharan town of Rissani, set across the rocky plateaus of the Hamada Black Morocco Desert. Next, you’ll arrive in Skoura, a fertile oasis bordered by immense palm groves offering superb views of the Atlas Mountains. Next, visit another kasbah in Taourirt. It is one of the most attractive and beautiful sites in southern Morocco and is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a walk and explore the Kasbah, which was built in the traditional style of Moroccan architecture. You’ll continue on your way to Marrakech and be dropped off in Marrakech at your Riad or hotel.
