Overview
The tour from Marrakech to Merzouga typically takes you on a journey through the diverse landscapes of Morocco, starting from the bustling city of Marrakech and heading southeast towards the Sahara Desert. Here’s a general description:
Embark on an unforgettable adventure from Marrakech to Merzouga, a small village nestled on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Departing from Marrakech, you’ll traverse the High Atlas Mountains, passing through traditional Berber villages and enjoying breathtaking panoramic views.
As you continue your journey, you’ll descend into the arid plains and explore the fortified kasbahs (citadels) of Ait Benhaddou and perhaps even visit the vibrant town of Ouarzazate, known as the gateway to the desert.
Further east, the landscape transforms into rocky desert terrain, where you’ll encounter the dramatic gorges of Todra and Dades. These impressive natural formations provide a stark contrast to the lush valleys and towering cliffs of the High Atlas.
Finally, your adventure culminates in Merzouga, where the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi await. Experience the magic of the Sahara Desert with a camel trek into the dunes to witness a mesmerizing sunset and spend a night under the starry desert sky at a traditional desert camp. Enjoy local cuisine, music, and hospitality before returning to Marrakech, enriched by the sights, sounds, and culture of Morocco’s desert landscapes.
