2-Day Merzouga Desert Tour from Ouarzazate

2 daysTours from OuarzazatePrivateTailor-made

From the gateway of the desert to the great dunes of Erg Chebbi, through the Dades and Todra gorges.

Ouarzazate is already halfway to the Sahara, so two days are enough to reach the highest dunes in Morocco and come back.

On the way you see the Rose Valley, the Dades and the Todra gorges, and you spend the night in a camp in Erg Chebbi.

From Ouarzazate you can reach the great dunes in one day and come back by a different road, making a complete loop of the south-east. It is an intense trip, ideal if you are already in Ouarzazate and short on time.

On the way out you see the gorges and kasbahs; on the way back the wild landscapes between the Saghro and the Draa.

Day by day

Day1

Ouarzazate – Dades – Todra – Merzouga

Skoura, the Rose Valley, the Dades and Todra gorges and the road to Merzouga. Camel ride at sunset and night in the camp.

An early start for a full day on the road. You pass Skoura, the Rose Valley and the Dades valley, then stop at the Todra gorges for a short walk between the cliffs. In the afternoon you cross the plateau to Erfoud and Rissani and reach Merzouga in time for a camel ride to the camp at sunset.

Day2

Merzouga – Draa – Ouarzazate

Sunrise over the dunes and the return through Alnif, N'Kob and the Draa valley.

After sunrise you take the southern road west, between the Saghro mountains and the desert: Rissani, Alnif, known for its fossils, and the village of N'Kob with its many kasbahs. You then follow the Draa valley, a ribbon of palm trees, and reach Ouarzazate in the evening.
