3 Days · From Marrakech
Travel with us on a carefully organised 3-day desert trip from Marrakech to Agadir and see the Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga, Agadir and the Atlas Mountains the way locals do. We plan each day with enough time to look around, take pictures and rest, and we stay flexible if you want to linger somewhere special. Comfortable air-conditioned vehicles, friendly guides and good food are part of every trip we organise.
About This Tour
Leaving Marrakech, the road climbs over the Tizi n'Tichka pass, more than 2,200 metres high, with superb views over the High Atlas. On the other side, the landscape becomes drier and more mineral as you approach the south.
Arriving in Merzouga, the first sight of the dunes rising above the flat stony desert is unforgettable. Late afternoon is the best moment, when the sand glows orange and the shadows draw perfect curves on every crest.
Agadir is a sunny seaside city in the south, with a long beach and a modern atmosphere. It is a practical starting point for trips to the Anti Atlas and the southern desert.
The 3-day programme is flexible: you can start early to make the most of the light, or take things slowly and enjoy long breakfasts and lunches in local restaurants. Accommodation is booked in advance in places we know and trust.
At the end of the afternoon you meet your camel and its handler at the foot of the dunes. The caravan slowly makes its way through the sand while the sun goes down, a peaceful moment that is often the highlight of the trip.
The walking parts of the trip are led by a qualified local guide who adapts the pace to the group. Mules can carry the luggage, so you only need a small daypack with water, a jacket and your camera.
