Offered in: English and 2 more

Marrakech to Tinfou desert tour 2 Days/1 Night is the best option if you don't have enough time to go for 3 or 4 days to see the highest dunes in Morocco, Tinfou is famous for the unique (and very small) sand dunes that circling winds have deposited 2 km (1 mile) north of the Tamegroute–M’Hamid road. Beyond the dunes, the sheer cliffs of the Djebel Tadrart Massif loom darkly on the horizon, while to the south and west is the high surrounding plateau of the Djebel Bani Massif. The dunes are a result of the Drâa River’s narrow slot in high ground.
