Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1

Ouarzazate Skoura Dades Gorges Merzouga

Begin your private Sahara desert tour from Ouarzazate with Local Morocco Tours, your dedicated desert specialist. We leave Ouarzazate for Skoura, stopping in the Valley of Roses before reaching Boumalne Dadès. We then explore the Dades Gorges and continue to the Todra Gorges to discover its dramatic rock canyon. Our 3-day Ouarzazate to Sahara journey continues via Tinjdad, Jorf and Erfoud, where you can see fossil workshops, before arriving in Merzouga for dinner and an overnight stay in a traditional kasbah.

Day 2

Dades Gorges Todra Gorge Erfoud Camel ride in Merzouga

After breakfast we explore the highlights of the Sahara area around Merzouga. In the late afternoon you ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes, where we watch the sunset from the top of the highest crests. Dinner is served around the campfire at a luxury Sahara camp, followed by an evening of traditional Berber drum music under the stars.

Day 3

Merzouga desert Midelt Fes

On the final morning, after sunrise and breakfast, we ride the camels back from the dunes and drive to Erfoud and on to Midelt for lunch. We then cross the Middle Atlas Mountains and the famous cedar forests near Azrou. After a short stop in Ifrane, we drop you off in Fes.
