Day 1: Agadir-Talliouin-Ait ben Haddou-Ouarzazate.
We depart in the morning on the first day of our four-day desert tour from Agadir to Merzouga, passing through Taroudant, which is referred to as the “little Marrakesh.” We then proceed to Taliouine, the sole saffron-producing region in Morocco, and Taznakht. Subsequently, we proceed to the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Morocco’s most renowned kasbahs. It is also the location where Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Asterix Obelix, and Game of Thrones were filmed. After lunch, we tour the site at a Berber restaurant. The Atlas film facilities will be the subject of our exploration in the afternoon. We will be spending the night in Ouarzazate.
Day 2: Ouarzazate – Rose Valley – Todra Gorges – Sahara Desert.
Departing from Ouarzazate, we will travel to Merzouga by car, passing through the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs and visiting the Skoura Oasis. Before proceeding to Tinjdad to investigate the fossils, we will also investigate Kalaat M’gouna, Boumalne Dades Valley, Tinghir, and Todra Gorges. We will proceed to Merzouga from there. Upon our arrival, we will embark on a camel journey to the dunes of Erg Chebbi and ascend a high dune to take in the breathtaking vista just prior to sunset. The initial night of our four-day desert excursion from Agadir to Merzouga will be spent in a nomadic shelter, where we will be joined by an ensemble of musicians.
Day 3: Rissani – Alnif – Agdez – Sahara desert.
The camp personnel will provide you with information regarding the appropriate time to awaken in order to observe the sunrise from the dunes. Afterward, you may go back to the camp, shower, and eat breakfast. We will then proceed to the Draa Valley by driving from Merzouga, passing through Rissani, Alnif, and Tazzarine. We will proceed to Tanasikht later in the day, and from there, we will continue our journey along the Draa Valley. The region is renowned for its ancient communities and immense palm plants. Lastly, we will spend the night in Agdez.
Day 4: Agdez – Atlas Mountains – Marrakech.
We will travel from Agdez to Marrakech via the Anti-Atlas and the mountain pass of Tizi-n-Tinfifte (1660m) on the final day of our four-day desert excursion from Agadir to Merzouga. Upon our arrival in Ouarzazate, we will tour the kasbah of Tifoultoute, which was initially the residence of the Pasha of Marrakech and serves as a testament to the feudal era of the nobles of Atlas. Subsequently, we will traverse an unpaved path to reach Fint Oasis, which is concealed among the mountains and was once a bustling caravan crossing. Later, we will travel to Marrakech by driving through the High Atlas mountains and arriving at our destination by the end of the afternoon. This concludes our four-day desert tour from Agadir to Marrakech.
