Overview

Our 2-day private trip is the shortest version of a merzouga desert tour from Marrakech — joined at Ouarzazate — and a must-do morocco desert tour that takes you through the Dadès Valley and on to the Erg Chebbi dunes, with a camel ride and time to enjoy both sunset and sunrise from a Berber camp. If you have more time, see our 3-day Sahara desert tour from Marrakech for a less hurried itinerary.

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1

Ouarzazate Dades Merzouga Desert Excursion

Begin your private Sahara desert tour from Ouarzazate with Local Morocco Tours, your dedicated specialist for the Erg Chebbi dunes. After hotel pickup, we follow the Route of the Thousand Kasbahs through Skoura and on to the Dades Valley. We then visit the Todra Gorges before continuing via Tinghir and Erfoud to Merzouga. From the edge of the dunes a 90-minute camel ride takes you into the heart of the Erg Chebbi to a traditional Berber camp. You enjoy the sunset and, after dinner, listen to Berber drums and music around the fire. Overnight in the desert camp.

Day 2

Merzouga Rissani Agdz Draa Valley Ouarzazate

Today you watch the Sahara sunrise from the dunes, then ride the camels back to Merzouga for breakfast. After breakfast we drive to Ouarzazate, passing small Berber villages such as Alnif, Tazarine and N'kob along the way. We drop you off at your hotel in Ouarzazate. At Local Morocco Tours, we will do everything we can to tailor a private Morocco tour that is perfect for you, your family, your friends or your group.
