Experience the ultimate Moroccan adventure: a 3-day Sahara desert tour from Agadir to Merzouga, crossing the High Atlas Mountains, ancient kasbahs, and dramatic gorges before reaching the legendary golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Sleep under a million stars in a traditional Berber desert camp.
Early morning pickup from your Agadir hotel. Drive through the fertile Souss Valley and Taliouine, Morocco’s saffron capital. Stop for lunch at Ait Benhaddou, the UNESCO World Heritage kasbah famous from Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Continue through Ouarzazate (the Hollywood of Africa) and the Dades Valley to Tinghir for dinner and overnight in a traditional riad.
Explore the towering 300-meter walls of Todra Gorge, then journey to Merzouga on the edge of the Sahara. In the late afternoon, mount your camel for a sunset trek across the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes. Arrive at your Berber desert camp for dinner around the campfire with traditional music, then sleep in a comfortable desert tent under the clearest night sky you will ever see.
Wake early to watch the sunrise transform the dunes from purple to gold. After breakfast at camp, ride your camel back and begin the scenic return journey to Agadir through the Draa Valley, arriving in the evening.
