3 days Ouarzazate desert tour to the Erg Chebbi Dunes Overview:
The most well-liked tourist destination in the south may be experienced as a genuine desert adventure by booking our Ouarzazate to Erg Chebbi Dunes excursion. As you explore, there is plenty to learn about the local Berber culture. You might opt to wander through Skoura’s oasis and go to the stunning Amredhil Kasbah. You may try out some cosmetics made with Damascene roses at the Valley of the Roses. From there, a dirt road leads to a fairly desolate region that serves as a home for local Berber nomads.

The day is finally brought to a conclusion with nomad and Berber music, which you are encouraged to participate in on, around a campfire.

3 days Sahara tour from Ouarzazate to Merzouga Erg chebbi Dunes Itinerary:
Day 1: Ouarzazate – Dades Gorges (117 km):
At 8.30 in the morning, head for the Dades Gorge while passing the Skoura Oasis, which is home to a number of historic kasbahs, some of which are tragically in ruins.
Our path then passes through Kela’a M’gouna, also known as the Valley of Roses, where we stop to view the locally created cosmetic products made from the plentiful blooms in the valley. These goods are well-known and highly esteemed across Morocco.
To get a deeper sense of the terrain and to stop by Berber nomads for a cup of tea, you take an off-road path from here. After stopping in the Dades gorge for lunch, you have time to meander around the farms and gardens, gorges, and gorges. You can choose to spend the night at a hotel, Kasbah, or, if you want, you can go into the hills and stay with a Berber family.
Day 2: Dades Gorges – Merzouga (248 km):
After breakfast, the journey continues just a little distance to Tinghir and the strikingly unique Toudgha gorges, where you may take a brief walk to see the sheer valley walls and the constricted sky above. Then you go to the Oasis of Tafilalet in Erfoud, which is well-known for its Date Festival, the Chebbi dunes via Tinjdad, and Rissani, which is home to the Alaouite dynasty of the reigning monarch of Morocco.
You may stop along the road between Tinjdad and Erfoud to descend into the intriguing subterranean water channels that run deep beneath the soil. These canals are constantly cold and prevent this source of irrigation from evaporating. You may stop at Erfoud to observe how thousands of fossils are transformed into various objects.
Along the journey, we’ll stop for lunch in a Berber village. You are given a glass of tea upon arrival at the bivouac before riding a camel to the top of the dunes to view the sunset.
You eat supper and spend the night in an opulent camp with a private bathroom, king-sized mattresses, lovely Moroccan furniture, and tastefully placed lighting to enhance your enjoyment of the solitude and beauty of the dunes. The camp also has exquisite Moroccan furnishings.
Day 3: Merzouga – Ouarzazate (367 km):
If you get up early enough, you may witness the dawn, when the dunes’ color and the shadows’ interaction create an amazing sight. The route continues through the Dra’a Valley past the Tazzarine village (which was portrayed in the movie “Babel”) and then to N’Qob for lunch.
The journey brings us to Tanasikht in the afternoon, where we travel along the road used by ancient caravans to explore the actual Dra’a Valley with its massive palm palms and historic settlements. You may visit Kasbah Tamnougalte, the oldest Kasbah in the entire valley, outside of Agdez near the head of the valley. There are still numerous family living there.
