The classic Morocco experience. Cross the Atlas, sleep in Dades Valley, ride camels into the Erg Chebbi dunes for a night under the stars at a luxury desert camp, return via Ouarzazate.
About this tour
This is the trip of a lifetime: three days crossing southern Morocco from Marrakech to the giant orange dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga. You'll ride a camel into the Sahara, sleep in a desert camp under a blanket of stars, and wake for a sunrise you'll never forget.
Along the way your private driver shows you the greatest hits of the south: the Tizi n'Tichka pass, the UNESCO ksar of Aït Benhaddou, the rose-scented Dades Valley and the towering walls of the Todra Gorge. Comfortable hotels, a real desert camp and a flexible private pace make this the best way to see the Sahara.
