About this tour
This three-day private expedition takes you from Marrakech into Morocco's southeastern reaches, culminating in two nights exploring the Merzouga dunes and surrounding valleys. You'll traverse the dramatic Dades and Todra gorges, visit centuries-old kasbahs scattered across the landscape, and spend an evening under desert stars at a Saharan camp. A camel trek through the towering Erg Chebbi dunes bookends the journey, offering a genuine taste of nomadic life without the tourist rush.

What to expect
You'll depart Marrakech early, driving through changing terrain as you head southeast. The first day involves navigating winding passes and stopping at gorge viewpoints before reaching your camp. Day two centres on the camel trek—expect a steady pace across rippling sand, then dinner and stargazing at the camp with other travellers. The final morning brings a sunrise walk, then the drive back with another kasbah stop en route. Bring layers: desert nights are cold, midday heat intense. The drive is long but broken into digestible segments with meaningful stops rather than pure transit.
