Your 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi begins with a drive through the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi n’Tichka pass at an altitude of 2200 meters. Soon after, you’ll leave the main road to explore the ruined palace of the Pasha in Telouet and the nearby salt mines. Follow the dramatic Ounila Valley, where distant troglodyte caves come into view along the cliffs. Stop to explore the legendary Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Continue past Ouarzazate and into the lush Skoura palm grove. Dinner and overnight stay in a traditional lodge nestled in the palm forest.
⇒ Day 2: Todra Gorge – Merzouga – Camel Caravan to Desert Camp.
Begin your morning with a guided walk in the palm grove led by a local guide who will explain kasbah architecture, local traditions, and wedding customs. Then journey to Todra Gorge, where 300-meter cliffs rise dramatically. Later, visit a ksour village in Tinejdad known for its “wells of light.” Continue to Rissani, where you can explore the remnants of the old Jewish quarter or the ancient city of Sijilmassa. Arrive in Merzouga at the base of the vast Erg Chebbi dunes. Swap the 4×4 for camels and ride across the sands to your desert camp in time to catch the sunset. Enjoy dinner and rest in private tents complete with en-suite bathrooms and hot showers.
⇒ Day 3: Return to Marrakech via the Draa Valley.
After an early breakfast at your desert camp, begin the drive out of the Sahara, crossing the picturesque Draa Valley. Here, palm groves give way to almond orchards and the golden dunes disappear behind you. Stop in Agdez for lunch. In the afternoon, travel through the pine forests of the High Atlas Mountains and arrive in Marrakech by evening. This marks the end of your 3-day desert tour to Erg Chebbi.
