3-Day Guided Desert Trip from Marrakech

3 days (approximately)
Offered in: English and 3 more

We invite you to live this journey to the desert with Morocco Desierto Viajer, a group of young guides born in the Erg Chebbi desert, Merzouga.

We want you to experience the wonders of the desert's natural environment up close, as well as delve into the Amazigh culture.

To do this, we will start this 3-day trip in Marrakech, we will cross the High Atlas mountains with their incredible views and we will visit spectacular enclaves such as the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou.

The road to the desert will take us to discover the Dades Gorges, where we will spend the first night, towns like Tinghir or the impressive Todra Gorge.

Finally we will arrive at our destination, the desert in Merzouga. We will enter through the dunes to experience what it is like to sleep in the desert, with the comforts offered by our luxury camp, with a private haima and private bathroom inside.

We will return to Marrakech with an unforgettable experience.
