5 Day Tour of Morocco

Day 1: Marrakech to Boumalne Dades

Your journey begins as our driver picks you up from your Marrakech accommodation. Travel through the scenic High Atlas Mountains, passing by traditional Berber villages. Visit the historic Telouet Kasbah and the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a 17th-century fortress. After a delightful lunch at a local restaurant, continue through Skoura, the Valley of Roses, and Kalaat M’Gouna, arriving at Boumalne Dades for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2: Boumalne Dades to Merzouga

After breakfast, embark on a picturesque drive to the Todra Gorge in Tinghir, a top destination for hikers. As you journey through Erfoud and Rissani, you’ll experience the rich culture and heritage of these desert towns. Arriving at the edge of the Merzouga desert, prepare for a camel trek or 4WD adventure into the iconic pink sands of Morocco’s highest dunes. Explore the dunes, witness a breathtaking sunset, and enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner accompanied by live music around the campfire. Spend the night in a cozy Berber tent, with the Milky Way above and, if you’re lucky, shooting stars to complete your magical desert experience.

Day 3: Off-Road Discovery Tour and Tea with Nomads

Rise early to catch the mesmerizing desert sunrise, followed by a hearty breakfast. Relax before setting off on a thrilling 4WD off-road tour, where you’ll meet desert nomads in their traditional tents and learn about their way of life. Drive across the rocky desert plateau to visit the abandoned “Ghost Town” of Mifis, once a mining village known for its Kohl and quartz. Discover ancient fossils and remnants of a prehistoric sea. Continue to Khamlia Village, home to the descendants of former slaves, where you’ll be treated to a live performance of Gnawa spiritual music. Savor a homemade Berber pizza for lunch and explore the Merzouga oasis, including community gardens and the nomadic depository.

Day 4: Merzouga to Ouarzazate

Following breakfast, journey towards Ouarzazate via Alnif, Tazarine, Agdz, and the Ait Sawen Mountains. Spend the night in Ouarzazate, a city known as the gateway to the Sahara.

Day 5: Ouarzazate to Marrakech

After breakfast, continue your journey back to Marrakech, crossing the High Atlas Mountains once again. Upon arrival, our driver will assist you with your luggage and ensure you’re comfortably settled at your chosen accommodation.
