2-day desert journey from Ouarzazate to Merzouga, combining stunning landscapes, ancient kasbahs, villages, and a once-in-a-lifetime camel trekking experience in the heart of the Sahara Desert. This immersive itinerary is designed for travelers who seek a perfect blend of cultural richness, adventure, and natural beauty, all within a short yet intense time frame(Ouarzazate to Merzouga tour).
We start early from the cinematic town of Ouarzazate. As we leave behind the Atlas Mountains’ foothills, we drive through dramatic desert landscapes and green valleys, taking the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs.
Our first stop is at Skoura Oasis, a lush palm grove dotted with well-preserved kasbahs like the Kasbah Amridil, a historical landmark that offers insights into Berber architecture and lifestyle.
As we continue our scenic route, we reach the spectacular Dades Valley, due to the Damask rose fields that bloom in spring.
we arrive at Todra Gorge, dramatic natural wonders. Towering limestone cliffs reaching up to 300 meters form a narrow canyon carved by the Todra River.
As we descend toward the desert, the landscape transforms into arid plains. We pass through Tinjdad, Erfoud, and finally reach Merzouga, the gateway to the Erg Chebbi dunes.
As the sun begins to descend, we mount our camels and embark on a camel caravan led by local nomads. This hour-long trek across the vast, rolling dunes of Erg Chebbi is a magical journey into silence and timelessness.
