Join us for an incredible 2 Days To Merzouga Desert From Marrakech to the mesmerizing Merzouga Desert. As you travel through the stunning Tizi n’Tichka Pass, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and traditional Berber villages.
You’ll have the chance to explore the renowned Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site, before heading into the desert. Experience a night of luxury at a desert camp surrounded by the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes and soak in the serenity of the Sahara under a blanket of stars.
We will pick you up from your hotel and begin our journey through the Tizi n’Tichka pass, the direct route to Ouarzazate. This spectacular road offers breathtaking views of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and numerous Berber villages. We’ll stop at Ait Ben Haddou to explore the exterior of the famous Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site. If time allows you’ll visit the interior.
Next, we’ll descend into Ouarzazate before crossing the gorges to reach Agdz, where the palm groves of the Draa Valley, the longest river valley in Morocco, line the landscape. As we continue, the lush greenery will give way to the unique volcanic rock formations of the Sahro mountains, leading us toward the desert.
As evening approaches, we’ll arrive at our luxurious desert camp, where you’ll be welcomed with mint tea and fresh dates or nuts. Set amidst stunning sand dunes, the camp offers a sense of solitude in the vast African desert while providing the comforts of a nomadic lifestyle. Enjoy a delicious dinner followed by a cozy evening around the campfire, beneath the starry African sky. The serenity of the Sahara, with its countless stars, promises an unforgettable experience.

It was the most amazing travel experience we have ever had. All three days offered a different experience, from the travel path, to accommodations, to our journey along the way. Lhoucein was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and a very good driver. We really enjoyed our time with him, he was the best guide and would highly recommend Traverse and Lhoucein equally. Thank you for accommodating our last minute request and making a dream come true for my husband and I. T…
We had an unforgettable experience traveling through Morocco and the Sahara with our guide, Mohamed! From exploring the vibrant cities to the breathtaking desert landscapes, his knowledge and passion brought the culture and history to life. He made sure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the country. The camel trek through the dunes and night under the stars was a highlight. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an authentic and enriching adventure!
Yes, Morocco is generally safe for tourists, but like any destination, it’s essential to exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings.
The best time to visit the Sahara Desert is during the cooler months, from October to April, when temperatures are milder and more comfortable for exploring.
Visitors from many countries can enter Morocco visa-free for stays of up to 90 days. However, it’s essential to check visa requirements based on your nationality before traveling.
Moroccan cuisine is diverse and flavorful, known for dishes such as tagine (slow-cooked stews), couscous, and pastilla (a savory pastry). It often features a blend of spices like cumin, saffron, and cinnamon.
Tipping is appreciated for good service in Morocco, especially in restaurants, hotels, and for tour guides. Around 10% of the bill is usually considered appropriate.
Do not hesitage to give us a call. We are an expert team and we are happy to talk to you.
