Taking a 4 day Sahara Desert tour to the big, red, Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga gives you a little extra time to enjoy stops along the way to and from the desert, rather than driving straight back to Marrakech on the 3rd day as you would with a shorter desert trip.
On the 4 day Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech you will take a break on each leg of the journey and have time to see the sites along the route.
There are just so many things to see and do on your way to the magical desert for camel trekking and a night stay in a Sahara desert camp. On the first day you can stop and visit at Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah after traveling over the High Atlas Mountains. Both are spectacular activities and it’s only the first day! Enjoy time in some of the magical valleys and oasis along the way. Enjoy date tasting at the source and learn about fossils taken from the desert which used to be covered in ocean, millions of years ago.
On your Sahara desert tour you will spend time in Roses Valley and don’t forget about the impressive Todgha Gorge. Walk along the riverbed there with the gorge walls extending 350 m straight up on either side of you.
When you arrive at the desert you will be treated to a refreshing cup of tea before you meet your camel for a ride into the dunes on your Sahara Desert Tour. Spend the night under the stars and enjoy a fresh meal of tagine and fruit prepared for you by the nomads in your camp.
PLEASE NOTE
