Tour Plan
Your journey begins early as you leave Marrakech and head toward the High Atlas Mountains. As the road climbs gently, the scenery shifts from red city walls to sweeping views dotted with tiny Berber villages. Next, you’ll cross the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass, where every turn offers another beautiful photo opportunity.
After that, the route leads you to the legendary Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar known for its mud-brick architecture. You’ll wander through its narrow alleys, feeling as if you're walking through centuries of history. Then, the drive continues through Ouarzazate and into the peaceful Draa Valley, where endless palm groves create a refreshing contrast with the desert’s warm tones.
As the afternoon unfolds, you’ll approach Merzouga — the gateway to the Sahara. The sight of the towering Erg Chebbi dunes rising from the horizon is truly spectacular. Finally, you’ll hop on your friendly camel and ride across the golden sands just in time for a colorful desert sunset. The evening in Merzouga brings a cozy atmosphere, traditional rhythms, and a sky full of stars. It’s a perfect way to end the first day of your 2 day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga.
Wake up before sunrise for one of the most magical moments of the trip. As the early light washes over the dunes, the desert feels calm, warm, and almost surreal. After breakfast, you’ll begin your return journey, passing once again through Rissani — a lively town known for its local markets and deep Saharan culture.
Next, the drive continues through the Draa Valley, where you’ll enjoy a final look at the region’s lush palm groves and traditional villages. The scenery shifts gradually as you make your way back toward the Atlas Mountains. Along the way, there’s plenty of time to stretch, take pictures, and enjoy Morocco’s peaceful landscapes.
Then, as the sun lowers and the road winds toward Marrakech, you’ll feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia — a sign of a beautiful journey well-lived. By the evening, you’ll arrive back in the Red City with unforgettable memories from your 2 day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga.
