Highlights

Marrakech to Dades Valley

Boumalne Dades - The 3-day trip will start at Marrakech. You have to wait for us to pick you up from your hotel or in Riad. We will then drive across the Tizi N’ Tichka Mountains – the highest mountains in North Africa. The drive will take approximately 2 hours. During the ride, we will stop to allow you to take some photos of beautiful sceneries and will enable you to fill your stomach with a delicious Moroccan breakfast.

We will then continue our journey to Ouarzazate, which is also known as the Hollywood of Morroco because many movies were filmed there, including Brad Pitt’s movie entitled Babel. You will also be able to visit Ait Ben Hadduo Kasbah which is one of the old and fortified cities in Morroco and is also considered as a UNESCO World Heritage.

After that, you will enjoy a satisfying meal in the city which will energize you for your cinematic experience in the Atlas Film Studios afterward.

After having fun in the Atlas Film Studios, we will go back on the road and drive for a few hours before we can arrive in Skoura. Skoura is a small magical town that is embellished with Kasbahs wherever you look.

We will then drop you in a hotel in Dades Valley where you can stay for the night and refresh yourselves for the trip the next day.

Dades Valley to Merzouga

Merzouga Desert - We will start our morning with a good breakfast. After that, we will be back on the road to discover and enjoy the Todgha town and the Todgha Gorges. We will let you take some photos and admire the stunning landscape around you.

We will then drive to Tinjdad which is one of the many small towns on the road. You will enjoy an enjoyable and fulfilling lunch there.

While we are on the road to Merzouga, we will drive by Arfoud and Rissani. By early evening we will arrive at a hotel in Merzouga where you can relax by the swimming pool while sipping a sweet Morrocan mint tea.

After that, camels will carry us for one and a half hour from the hotel to the Sahara dunes. Upon arriving at our tent, we will settle for a bit and enjoy Sahraoui mint tea together with the desert nomads. And what’s more beautiful than ending the day by watching the sunset over the desert dunes? The view will surely relax your mind after our tiring but incredible journey.

We will then devour a delicious dinner together with the nomads who will play some excellent Morrocan music for you by the campfire.

Merzouga to Marrakech

Marrakech - Your Sahara experience would not be complete without experiencing the sun rise. On the third day of the trip, you need to wake up early to witness the rising of the sun in the desert. It is a stunning view that everyone should not miss!

After enjoying the sunrise, we will then take off to Merzouga. We will go straight to your hotel where you can shower and eat good breakfast.

When the journey is the reward - The first time seeing real sand dunes piling up in the in the horizon in alien moon-like landscape is an unforgettable moment and the riding the camels over it is a prize well worth it's time and money. But this was an experience from the start with constantly changing natural phenomenon to engage with and well chosen cultural encounters along the way that made the long drive to the dunes as much a big part of the trip as the promise of iconic Saharan Sand. We had excellent service both when it came to the speed of answering our questions before the booking and when it came down to handling the details of pickups and payment. It all went very smoothly from the organizers point of view and we always felt that this was a well established concept. But most of all we had a great guide and driver in Abd who gave us all the details we could ever hope for when it comes to experiencing a foreign culture. Great comfort in the car which I especially after meeting some other tourists with less fortunate traveling vehicles am very grateful. We always felt like we got the most of what we possibly could have received for this trip-package and the views and stops where carefully selected. We especially liked the hotel in the valley which was incorporated with the mountain, such genuine place and food and the best sleep in all of our Moroccan stay. We felt huge trust to the guide and company and it was never a problem if we wanted to ask something special (Thanks for finding great Datefruit), stop to take photos or talk about something. Experience in action and something we will always be grateful for. A private-car package I would say is truly the best way to give yourself a change to enjoy the desert but also to have the strength to not miss out on the fantastic sights along the way. Thank you for helping us making quality memories to cherish!
