4-Day Merzouga Desert Trip from Marrakech

The second day of our 4 days Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour is packed with natural wonders. After a hearty breakfast, we set off for the Todra Gorges, where the colossal limestone walls will tower above us. As we hike along the riverbed, the sheer magnitude of the gorge leaves us in awe.

Lunch was a delightful Moroccan affair, and we continued our journey towards Erfoud, a town renowned for its fossils and rich geological history. From there, we ventured deeper into the desert until the towering dunes of Merzouga came into view.

At the edge of the Sahara, we will meet our trusty camel companions for the camel trek into the heart of the dunes. The rhythmic sway of the camels and the vast sea of sand around us create a sense of timelessness. As the sun begins its descent, we will watch in wonder as the dunes transform into a canvas of warm hues.

Arriving at our desert camp, we will be welcomed with traditional music and a sumptuous Moroccan dinner. With the Milky Way stretched out above us, we retire to our comfortable desert tents for a night under the starlit Sahara sky.

• Overnight accommodation in a comfortable desert camp including dinner & breakfast

As the first light kisses the dunes, we bid farewell to the desert camp and our camel companions, beginning our journey back towards civilization. The landscape transitions from the golden sands of the Sahara to the arid terrain of Alnif.

Passing through the charming town of Nkob, famous for its ancient kasbahs and palm groves, we take in the unique architecture and local way of life. Continuing our trek, we arrive in Ouarzazate, often referred to as the "Hollywood of Morocco" due to its film studios and dramatic landscapes.

We explore the Taourirt Kasbah and the Atlas Film Studios, where countless cinematic adventures come to life. Finally, we settle into our accommodations in Ouarzazate, reflecting on the incredible journey we've undertaken so far.

• Overnight accommodation in a comfortable hotel/Riad including dinner & breakfast.

On the last day of our desert odyssey, we begin our return journey to Marrakech. The winding road leads us once again through the Atlas Mountains, offering us one last chance to marvel at their majestic beauty.

We make stops along the way for lunch and to capture the stunning scenery through our cameras. As we descend from the mountains, Marrakech's vibrant energy welcomes us back, bringing our 4-day Merzouga desert trip from Marrakech. With memories of ancient kasbahs, towering gorges, and the Sahara Desert imprinted in our hearts, we know that this journey will forever remain etched in our minds as an unforgettable Moroccan experience.
