2 Days Desert Tour from Ouarzazate to Merzouga

After picking you up from your hotel in Ouarzazate, we’ll visit the Taourirt kasbah, one of Morocco’s most beautiful ksars. The next place to visit is the Rose Valley, a beautiful place to see more than 700,000 palm trees and a lot of kasbahs in the area. In this valley, damascene roses are grown for rosewater, which is very valuable. The Rose Festival is held here every year in May, and it is a significant museum for Moroccan history. Finally, when we arrive in the Dades valley, we’ll have one of the most spectacular views of the Dades Valley from a strategic lookout in the mountains, where we’ll be able to admire a large number of kasbahs and the picturesque features of each one. From Tinerhir, an excellent asphalt road travels up the valley to the gorge and then to the desert. We’ll make a few stops along the way and eventually arrive in the Todra Gorges. The scenery is breathtaking. The area is populated by locals, who can be seen in their adobe villages. These gorges are popular with rock climbers because they have rock walls in a lot of different shapes. After a short walk through the Todra gorges, you’ll have some time to have lunch in Touroug. Then, we’ll keep going through the desert until we reach the spectacular dunes of Merzouga. Camel rides will take us one hour to our nomad camp in the middle of a sea of dunes. We’ll stay there until the sun comes up again tomorrow morning (Erg Chebbi). Before dinner, we’ll watch the sunset from the top of a dune and then sleep beneath a starry sky in a tent.
