7 days tour Marrakech desert tour

We begin our journey by crossing the stunning Tizi n’Tichka pass in the High Atlas Mountains. Along the way, we stop at panoramic viewpoints before visiting the famous Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou — a UNESCO World Heritage site and Hollywood favorite. After lunch, we head to Ouarzazate, then through the Valley of Roses and arrive in the beautiful Dades Valley. Overnight in a local riad surrounded by cliffs and Berber villages.

After breakfast, we explore Dades Gorges and continue toward the spectacular Todra Gorges, with time to walk between the canyon walls. Then, we cross desert plains and palm groves, passing Erfoud and Rissani before reaching Merzouga. Here, your camel awaits for a magical ride through the dunes. Enjoy dinner, Berber music, and a night under the stars in a desert camp.

This day is all about discovering life in the desert. After sunrise and breakfast, we explore the Merzouga region: visit the village of Khamlia to hear traditional Gnawa music, meet nomadic families, and see how they live in the harsh desert. We'll stop at an oasis and explore the fossil-rich landscapes of the area. Free time in the afternoon to relax, sandboard, or watch the sunset again.

We leave the desert behind and journey through the dramatic landscapes of the Anti-Atlas mountains. Travel through the town of Alnif, then Nkob, where you'll see traditional mud-brick kasbahs and green fields. Continue along the Draa Valley — Morocco’s longest river oasis lined with millions of palm trees. Overnight in a charming guesthouse in Agdz or along the valley.

After breakfast, we drive toward Ouarzazate and stop to explore the hidden Fint Oasis — a peaceful palm-lined valley untouched by time. Visit the famous Atlas Film Studios if interested. Later, return to Ait Ben Haddou for a different perspective and maybe catch the golden hour. Dinner and overnight stay in a cozy riad near the ksar.

We take the scenic road through the Ounila Valley to reach Telouet, an off-the-beaten-path kasbah once home to the powerful Glaoui family. After visiting the kasbah, we continue our journey across the Tizi n’Tichka pass and back to Marrakech. Arrive in the late afternoon and enjoy a free evening to explore the city.

On the final day, you’ll have the option of a guided city tour to discover Marrakech’s historical and cultural highlights: the Koutoubia Mosque, Bahia Palace, Saadian Tombs, and the vibrant souks of the medina. You can also relax at a café in Jemaa el-Fnaa square or visit the peaceful Majorelle Gardens. End of tour.
