Your Desert Tour from Marrakech begins with a personalized pick-up in a comfortable 4×4 vehicle. Journey through the High Atlas Mountains via the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Admire the shifting landscapes, from snow-covered peaks to fertile valleys and Berber villages. By early afternoon, arrive in Ouarzazate — the “Hollywood of Morocco” — and relax in a tranquil boutique hotel. Spend the evening by the pool or enjoying the peaceful desert breeze.
After breakfast, travel the famed Route of a Thousand Kasbahs. Along the way, discover the beautifully preserved kasbah of Amridil before continuing to the dramatic Dades Valley, where wind and water have sculpted spectacular red-rock canyons. Continue to the towering Todra Gorges, perfect for a scenic walk or short hike. Arrive in Tinghir by evening and check into a beautifully restored riad combining traditional architecture and modern luxury.
The journey deepens today as you follow lush palm groves into the Draa Valley, Morocco’s longest river oasis. Pass through the quiet Berber town of Nkob, then leave the paved road behind and venture off-road into the desert. By late afternoon, you’ll arrive at the majestic Erg Chigaga dunes — wild, remote, and stunning. Mount your camel for a sunset ride through golden sands, then dine under the stars at your luxury camp. Enjoy Berber music and the serenity of the Sahara.
Wake to a serene desert sunrise. After breakfast and a short camel ride, rejoin your 4×4 and cross the dry salt flats of Iriki Lake. Pause for tea with nomads and explore fossils along the route. Continue to the artisan town of Taznakht, known for its intricate Berber rugs. Arrive in the late afternoon at Ait Ben Haddou — Morocco’s most iconic ksar and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stay overnight in a traditional guesthouse just steps from the ancient village.
Enjoy a leisurely morning with breakfast and time to explore Ait Ben Haddou’s historic alleys and towers. Then begin the scenic return journey through the High Atlas Mountains. Your Desert Tour from Marrakech ends with a drop-off at your accommodation in the early evening — leaving you with memories of a lifetime.
