2-Day Private Desert Tour
Day 1
On the morning of your tour, you'll be picked up from your hotel in Ouarzazate to head towards Tinghir, via the Route of the Thousand Kasbahs, including the Valley of Roses and Dadès Valley. Stop at Dadès Gorges to view geological formations like Monkey Fingers Canyon and Todra Gorge.
Continue to Merzouga, passing palm groves and stopping for lunch before arriving in Erfoud, known for fossil fragments. From Merzouga, ride a camel to a traditional Amazigh tent to spend the night.
Enjoy a Moroccan meal and rest under the stars.
Day 2
Begin with a camel ride to witness the sunrise over Erg Chebbi. After breakfast at the camp, proceed to the Tafilalet Palm Grove near Rissani, the origin of the Alaouite dynasty. Travel towards Alnif and through the Anti-Atlas Mountains.
Admire the views of the Draa Valley and cross the Tizi N'Tnifift mountain pass before returning to Ouarzazate by around 5 pm.
