Unforgettable 3 days Morocco Tour: cross the Atlas Mountains, explore Ait Ben Haddou‘s ancient kasbah, stand in awe at Todgha Gorge’s cliffs, then ride camels into Erg Chebbi’s golden dunes. Spend a night in a luxury desert camp under endless stars. This carefully crafted tour packs Morocco’s best landscapes and culture into three unforgettable days.
Your 3 days Morocco tour begins with a scenic drive from Marrakech over the High Atlas Mountains, crossing the breathtaking Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m). You’ll stop at the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou, a stunning clay fortress featured in films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. After exploring, continue to Ouarzazate, Morocco’s “Hollywood,” where you can visit the famous Atlas Studio or the grand Taourirt Kasbah. The journey then winds through the dramatic Dades Valley, known for its striking rock formations nicknamed “Monkey Fingers.” You’ll spend the night in a charming hotel, enjoying a traditional dinner and preparing for the desert ahead.
After breakfast, you’ll head to the Todgha Gorge, a majestic canyon with sheer 300m cliffs—perfect for photos and short hikes. As you approach Merzouga, the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi rise in the distance, signaling your arrival in the Sahara. In the late afternoon, you’ll mount a camel for a serene trek across the dunes, watching the sunset paint the sands in fiery hues. At night, you’ll stay in a luxury desert camp, where Berber music, delicious Moroccan cuisine, and endless stars under the vast desert sky create an unforgettable experience.
Wake up early to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the dunes before returning to Merzouga village by camel or 4×4. On the way back to Marrakech, you’ll stop in Rissani, a historic trading town with a lively market, and pass through the lush Draa Valley, dotted with palm groves and ancient kasbahs. The drive back over the Atlas Mountains offers one last glimpse of Morocco’s diverse landscapes before arriving in Marrakech by evening, leaving you with incredible memories of your Sahara desert adventure.
