5 Day Sahara desert tour from Marrakech

 Your 5-days Sahara desert tour from Marrakech with a pick-up at 8:00 am from your riad or wherever you’re staying. We’ll hit the road and start our scenic journey through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. Keep your eyes peeled for stunning views as we make our way to the Tizi-N-Tichka Pass, sitting way up high at 2,260 meters (7,415 feet) above sea level.

Along the way, we’ll stop at charming Berber villages to soak up the local vibes and landscapes – it’s a chance to dive into the culture and see some beautiful sights.

Our next stop is the famous Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, an ancient village famous for its cool Moroccan-style buildings. You might recognize it from movies! Take your time to wander through its narrow streets and soak in the history.

After a tasty lunch break, we’ll head further south along the “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs.” We’ll cruise through interesting towns like Ouarzazate, Skoura, and the pretty Valley of Roses in Kalaat M’Gouna. And in the afternoon, we’ll reach the Dades Valley, where you’ll get to check out the cool “monkey fingers” rock formations – they’re seriously impressive!

Then, it’s time to relax and unwind at a cozy hotel in the Dades Valley. Enjoy the peace and quiet as you gear up for more adventures in the days ahead.

We begin the second day of our 5-day Sahara desert tour from Marrakech with a breakfast to get us going. After breakfast, we’ll head towards Tineghir, stopping at pretty spots along the way where we can see Berber villages surrounded by palm trees.

One of the coolest things we’ll see is the Toudgha Gorge, a big canyon that’s 300 meters high. We’ll take a relaxed walk around it, admiring its beauty before heading to the Merzouga desert.

When we get to Merzouga desert in the afternoon, get ready for a fun adventure! We’ll ride on camels through the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. We’ll stop on a big dune to watch the sunset – it’s so pretty! Then, we’ll ride to the desert camp where we’ll be welcomed with mint tea.

In the evening, we’ll enjoy a tasty Moroccan dinner with lots of delicious local food. After dinner, we’ll gather around a campfire with our Berber friends. They’ll play drums and tell stories under the stars – it’s really cool!

You’ll sleep in a comfy tent at the luxury desert camp, surrounded by the peaceful desert. It’s gonna be a great night!
