After having breakfast at the hotel, we will be heading to Todra Gorge, at a 68 km distance from Dades Gorges, where we will stop so you can enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of the oasis, with beautiful palm groves and amazing images with the Ksar Tinghir, also called the “Jewish Quarter”. We will continue our road by admiring one of the most spectacular canyons in the world, Todra, where you will enjoy a short walk around the area. We continue our road towards the captivating dunes of Erg Chebbi, which are a part of the Merzouga desert. After we arrive at the hotel in Merzouga, you will prepare for a 90-minute camel trek across the sand dunes, just in time to see how the color of the dunes changes under the fading light of the sunset.

  1. Roxana Andries

    I would highly recommend using this company, it has to be the very best in Morocco, 5 stars Abdou provides an excellent VIP customer-focused service.

  2. Lina Paul

    We had an amazing time, the whole experience was wonderful. The stops during the trip were a really nice extra!! Our tour group was a cozy bunch of people from all over the globe. The drive to the desert was great as well! I tend to get a bit of driving sickness but thanks to our amazing and super-friendly driver Abdou I had no problems at all. All the other guides we met during the trip were friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend this to anyone.

  3. Namita Joshi

    Very good experience. The guides were very friendly and the driver, Abdou, was excellent. I recommend this experience.

  4. Andra

    This is a one-in-a-lifetime experience we had on our bucket list. The 3 days allowed for us to know different cities, fabulous landscapes, and delicious food. We were picked up at our hotel and our guide Samir, even though his English was very basic, was very respectful, responsible, and friendly. Sleeping in the tent was special, I highly recommend paying extra for the luxury of having a bathroom inside and if you are going in the month of May, please pack a portable fan, it will help you sleep better.

  5. Ashley Biden

    Great trip & Great guides! The drive out to the desert includes multiple short breaks for refreshments & loos, as well as at several points of interest where local guides show you around other sites & scenic spots. All adding to a great experience in the Sahara!
