Desert Tours from Ouarzazate

Ouarzazate is Morocco's original film city — Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, Game of Thrones all shot here — and it sits just 3 hours from Marrakech, already deep in desert country. From Ouarzazate the drive to Merzouga's Erg Chebbi dunes takes 4 hours, compared to 7 from Marrakech, making it the most efficient desert gateway. En route: Kasbah Ait Benhaddou (UNESCO), the rose-red Draa Valley palmeries and the mud-brick villages of Skoura. All tours depart from your Ouarzazate hotel. Request a quote for a custom itinerary.
