5 Days · From Marrakech
This 5-day desert trip from Marrakech to Chefchaouen is built around the Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga and the blue city of Chefchaouen. It is designed for travellers who want a real feel of Morocco without worrying about logistics. You will be looked after from pick-up to drop-off by a team that lives in the region and knows its roads, its villages and its best viewpoints.
About This Tour
The journey from Marrakech crosses the High Atlas through the Tizi n'Tichka pass, then continues past kasbahs, oases and red earth villages, with plenty of stops for photos and tea along the way.
Erg Chebbi stretches for about 22 kilometres near the Algerian border, and Merzouga is the village at its foot. Here you leave the vehicle behind and enter a world of sand, where the only sounds are the wind and the steps of the camels.
Chefchaouen, the blue city, is a small town in the Rif Mountains famous for its blue painted lanes and relaxed atmosphere. Time spent wandering its alleys, small squares and viewpoints is often a favourite memory of a Morocco trip.
During these 5 days you will see how much the landscapes of Morocco change in a short time, from mountains and valleys to palm oases and desert plains, with very different ways of life in each region.
Camels are gentle animals and the ride needs no experience. Wear comfortable clothes, wrap a scarf around your head like the locals do, and enjoy the rolling motion as the dunes turn gold around you.
Pick-up from your hotel or riad is included, and we can also arrange airport transfers or extra nights. Send us your request through the form and we will prepare a programme that fits your plans.
