The 4 days tour from Marrakech to Fes across Merzouga starts soon after we meet you. After that, we will go to Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, traveling across the High-Atlas road. We will stop at Ait Benhaddou, which is one of the most iconic sites in Morocco and Hollywood movies. It was the filming site of many movies similar to Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven. After that, we will go to Ouarzazate, which is also apparent in those movies. We will go after that to Skoura Oasis, which is one of the most luscious oases in Morocco. Finally, we will drive to Dades Valley and gorges to explore the rock formations of the ‘Monkey Toes’ before we stop at a hotel with a nice view.
We will eat breakfast and shower before we head to Tinghir: the oasis town and the Todra Gorges. Todra Gorges are the highest canyons in Morocco. The landscapes of Todra are quite amazing. After that, we will head to the oases of Tafilalt, which has the largest palm groves in Morocco. Soon after we visit the two desert towns Erfoud and Rissani, we will stop at our destination, which is Merzouga. We will check into a hotel there to take a rest.
In the morning, we will explore the region of Merzouga starting with Rissani, which is a central market for caravans. Then, we will go to the Gnawa spiritual music town Khamlia. Afterward, we will go to Dayet Srij Lake, which hosts flamingoes and other birds in the spring. After that, we will visit some nomads in their tents. At the end of the day, we will return to Merzouga. Finally, we will ride the camels towards the dunes of Erg Chebbi. We will climb the high dunes to see the mesmerizing sunset before we go the desert camp. In the desert camp, we will enjoy all sorts of activities like dancing to live traditional music and stargazing. The nomads will keep us entertained until we decide to sleep.
