Itineraries
Day 1
The Majestic High Atlas Mountains And Dades Gorge
Your desert tour from Marrakech begins as you bid farewell to the aromatic souks of Marrakech and head towards the majestic High Atlas Mountains. As you ascend the winding roads, the bustling city fades away, replaced by breathtaking panoramas of snow-capped peaks, verdant valleys, and charming Berber villages.
Your local guide, an expert in the region's history and culture, will share their knowledge, enriching your Marrakech hiking tour with fascinating insights.
Crossing the Tizi n'Tichka Pass
Prepare to be awestruck as you traverse the Tizi n'Tichka Pass, the highest road pass in North Africa. This dramatic route offers unparalleled views of the High Atlas Mountains, showcasing their rugged beauty and diverse landscapes.
Keep your eyes peeled for Berber villages clinging to the mountainsides, a testament to the resilience of this indigenous population.
A Glimpse into Berber Culture
As you descend from the mountains during your desert tour from Marrakech, you'll encounter vibrant riverside oases and barren hillsides dotted with Kasbahs. These fortified dwellings have served as homes and defensive structures for Berber families and their livestock for centuries.
The historic structures offer a glimpse into the rich heritage and architectural traditions of the Berber people.
Reaching the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs
Your tour will continue to Dades Gorge, also known as the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs. This dramatic landscape, sculpted by millions of years of erosion, features towering cliffs and intricate rock formations carved by the Dades River.
Enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner at a small hotel boasting breathtaking views of the valley. As twilight descends, settle in for a comfortable night's rest, ready for the next day's desert adventure.
Day 2
Lose Yourself In The Sahara Desert
Expect to wake to the sun caressing the Kasbah-studded cliffs, painting the Dades Gorge in a warm pre-dawn glow. If you peek out of your window, the crisp desert air will invigorate your senses.
On the second day of our Marrakech hiking tour the vast Sahara beckons, its golden dunes promising an unforgettable adventure.
A delicious breakfast will be awaiting you, fueling you for a day of exploration that will leave memories etched in your soul for years to come.
Exploring Todra Gorge
After a nourishing breakfast, you'll head deeper into the magical world of the Sahara on this enchanting desert tour from Marrakech.
A stop at Todra Gorge, a towering natural wonder carved by the Todra River, awaits. Towering cliffs rising 300 meters on either side of the narrow canyon create a dramatic and awe-inspiring vista. Here, too, you can keep an eye out for traditional Berber villages nestled within the gorge, offering a glimpse into the region's unique way of life.
Reaching the Gateway to the Sahara – Merzouga
Following a delicious lunch, you'll continue your journey towards Merzouga, a small village nestled at the edge of the vast Erg Chebbi Dunes, the highest sand dunes in Morocco.
From here, you'll embark on the highlight of your Marrakech hiking tour: a traditional camel trek into the heart of the desert.
A Camel Trek at Sunset
As the sun dips below the horizon, casting golden hues across the dunes, you'll climb aboard a camel and embark on a memorable journey.
Experience the peaceful rhythm of the camel's gait as you explore the hidden wonders of the desert landscape. After a magical hour-and-a-half-long journey, you'll arrive at your Berber-tented camp, a bit of tranquility nestled amidst the vast sand dunes.
Unforgettable Night Under the Stars
At the desert camp, a delicious Berber dinner awaits, prepared with fresh, local ingredients. As darkness descends on our desert tour from Marrakech, the sky explodes with a million stars, offering a celestial spectacle unlike any other.
Spend the night under the vast expanse of the Milky Way. We guarantee that this will be a truly unforgettable experience. You have the option to sleep in a traditional Berber tent, fully immersed in the desert ambiance, or more comfortable tents at the camp.
Day 3 – 460 km
The Return To Marrakech

After a hearty breakfast at the camp, you'll take a final camel ride back to your starting point in Merzouga.
