Choosing a 4-day Merzouga desert tour from Marrakech offers a more relaxed and immersive experience, allowing you to fully enjoy Morocco’s stunning landscapes, rich history, and authentic desert adventure. This journey takes you through the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains, with visits to iconic sites like the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah and the film studios of Ouarzazate. You’ll explore the dramatic Todra Gorges and lush palm valleys before reaching the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga.
A highlight of the 4 days Merzouga desert tour from Marrakech is a camel trek into the desert, where you’ll witness an unforgettable sunset and spend a magical night in a traditional Berber camp under a star-filled sky. With an extra day compared to the 3-day tour, you’ll have more time to explore the desert, visit nomadic families, and enjoy a 4×4 excursion around the dunes. This tour is perfect for those seeking adventure, culture, and an authentic taste of the Sahara at a comfortable pace.
Our 4 days desert tour from Marrakech starts with a pick-up at your hotel in Marrakech and departure to the Dades Gorges. We will cross the famous twisting curves of the high Atlas. On the way, we will stop to visit Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah. This fantastic fortified village, entirely of rammed earth, declared a cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO, where movies like Gladiator, Laurence of Arabia and many films of biblical themes were filmed, there we will have free time for lunch. In the afternoon, we will proceed on the 4 days desert tour from Marrakech to Ouarzazate, Skoura, the route of thousands of kasbah, the Valley of the Roses and Boumalen Dades gorges, arriving there in the evening—dinner and overnight at the hotel located in the Dades Gorges.
The 4 days Marrakech desert tour program will be as follows; breakfast at the hotel and departure to the desert of Erg Chebbi, which is our destination. We will pass through mountainous landscapes, valleys, and deserts to get there. We will also pass through the Berber village of Tinjdad, and Erfoud. After lunch, we drive to the desert arriving in the afternoon. There the camp staff is waiting for us to take us in 4×4 to the place where we will take a camel per person, which will transfer us to the heart of the desert of Erg Chebbi to spend the night in the camp. Dinner, Berber music and accommodation in the camp; are the best ways to enjoy this magnificent and unique environment under the most incredible starry sky and the most extraordinary silence.
We will wake up early to be able to be amazed by the great sight of the sunrise from the golden sand dunes before we begin the 4 days Marrakech desert trip. After our personal cleanliness, we will have breakfast and we will be taken by 4×4 to the meeting point with our tour guide, to start our Marrakech desert tour route towards Ouarzazate, passing through small villages and through the famous Draa valley (The longest river in Morocco of 1,100 km. The Draa Valley has one of the most breathtaking landscapes of the whole country, a green belt of palm trees with ocher, reddish or purple mountains of spectacular beauty—dinner and overnight at the riad in Ouarzazate.
We will have breakfast and leave in the direction of Marrakech crossing the Atlas mountains. But this time through the Kasbah of Telouet, this is a Kasbah along the old caravan route from the Sahara over the Atlas mountains to Marrakech. The Kasbah was the seat of power of the El Glaoui family, which is why it is sometimes called the Glaoui Palace. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will arrive at noon and we will transfer you to your hotel or to the airport of that city, where our 4 days desert tour from Marrakech ends.
EXCELLENT Based on 64 reviews Princess Lei E2024-10-02Verified Morocco is such a wonderful place to visit and explore. Thanks to our Morocco tours for a stress free and enjoyable travel experience. Our 7 days tour was so quick and still there is a lot to explore. Morocco is such a vibrant place. 443Lizzie2024-09-09Verified Our Morocco Tour - company and driver Our very friendly driver Hakim, really made our trip. He was very courteous and ensured our safety and well being at every step of the way from Casablanca, Marrakech, our desert camp, Fes and Tangier over 12 days.Our Morocco Tour company was very professional to liaise with when researching and booking our private tour. They ensured all our quality accommodation was in the heart of the old Médinas and close to major sites and places to visit. The guides they engaged were very knowledgeable and friendly. This is a top tour company that ensured we got the best of everything. Thoroughly recommended. J M2024-08-17Verified Fes is an amazing cultural experience Fes is an amazing cultural experience. It’s not the best view or the cleanest, but the Medina is worth visiting with a local tourist guide, it’s a good experience and that maze that has no map is rightfully a unesco world heritage site. Brings Aladdin vibes. J M2023-11-12Verified One-of-a-kind experience! Morocco- [ ] There were 9 of us coming to Morocco for 9 days and there were specific places to see on the checklist. Our Morocco Tours tailored an itinerary for us that ticked all the boxes. Everything was ready when we got there. It was a hassle-free trip— all we had to do was hop into the mini-bus, settle in on the next local riad, go exploring and take lots of pictures and on some days, think about where we would have lunch (which Ibrahim was helpful with recommendations). Moroccan breakfasts were always included. And you could pay for dinner at the local riads. We got to explore some places on our own like Chefchaouen and Rabat. In Fes (and its maze of allweyways) and Marrakech, we had cultural tours with very knowledgeable tour guides. Our road-trips included stops at picturesque locations. This trip made me appreciate how much there is to Morocco: it could be sweltering in Aït Benhaddou, but it could be chilly in Ifrane. The Sahara Desert is a MUST TRY- it was an amazing experience to camel-ride to camp and watch the sunrise the next day. If you want an immersive Moroccan experience (eat at local food places and sleep in local riads), book a trip with Our Morocco Tours. Ibrahim was a well-balanced tour guide, insightful and accommodating— he paced his sharing of things you need to know about Morocco well and he knew when you were due for a break from Moroccan cuisine :) Morocco is beautiful and Our Morocco Tours had shown us this. I definitely recommend! Dino Paolo V2023-11-09Verified Amazing Morocco Experience! We had a great Morocco experience thanks to Ibrahim and Hahmid. They really took care of us and took us to the must see places and even made the road travel enjoyable. The highlight of the trip for me was the stay at the Sahara experience which makes me want to go back! The riad that we stayed in the places we visited are also very good, each one is unique and has its own character. They also used knowledgeable tour guides in Fes and Marrakech which gave us more insights into the Moroccan culture. I would definitely recommend Our Morocco Tours to friends and families especially to those who want to have a proper Moroccan experience. Fe S2023-11-07Verified Highly recommended! Best holiday so far! Highly recommended! Ibrahim has been amazing since day 1 until the end of our tour. He has been helpful and very accommodating during our trip. The riads and hotels we have stayed for 9 days are topnotched. Indeed one of the best holidays and experience. Will definitely be back in Morocco and book tours again with Ibrahim! Glean D2022-11-29Verified Nice Moroccan Experience Overall it was really fun. Very nice accomodation from these guys. They always tend to our needs. They know a lot about Morocco and they can be more than tour guides. Very friendly and approachable. Will definitely contact them again for another Morocco tour. Frederik2022-08-11Verified Very good Very nice experience, I recommend it to everyone. Nice service and quality, I will definitely go again. Annemie2022-03-15Verified Wonderful experience I travelled with Our Morocco Tours twice . The second time was a 2 weeks' trip throughout the South of Morocco. Ibrahim was just great, one can trust him with everything and he will do everything within his power to make your trip as enjoyable as possible. I travelled as a single lady and being able to count on someone blindly is invaluable. As he is a local one can experience Morocco in a much more original way. If you too have thought of making such a trip do not hesitate . Our Morocco Tours is the help you need and you too will come back again and again. Marco M2020-05-24Verified Highly recommend Highly recommend Trips For Morocco!! Our guide, Hassan, was amazing. From the first evening when we were welcomed and every day after, his sense of humour, his attention to everyone's needs, his knowledge and passion for his country and his work, really made this a unique and special trip. He is enthusiastic and energetic, shared so many fascinating stories, happily took tons of photos for us, and was endlessly patient when we stopped for any little thing. Whenever we were introduced to local guides or owners of the places we stayed it was clear that he had a long standing relationship with them and the warm welcome were received made it so much more personal. We have to thank Hassan for these sincere introductions that brought us closer into the real lives of the people we met. The itinerary was varied and was saw SO much. This holiday was one of the best I have ever had.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
