Luxury Sahara Desert Tour From Marrakech
3-Day Luxury Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech — Full Route & Interactive Map

Climb the High Atlas through the Tizi n’Tichka pass, stand before the UNESCO-listed ksar of Aït Ben Haddou, continue past Ouarzazate into the red canyon of the Dades Valley, then reach the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga for a sunset camel trek and a night in a luxury desert camp.

Journey at a Glance — 3-Day Luxury Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech
Marrakech → Tizi n’Tichka → Aït Ben Haddou → Dades Valley
Leave Marrakech after breakfast and cross the High Atlas through the Tizi n’Tichka pass (2,260 m). Visit the UNESCO-listed ksar of Aït Ben Haddou with a local guide, pass Ouarzazate and the film studios, then follow the Valley of Roses to your guesthouse in the Dades.
Dades → Todra Gorge → Merzouga & Sunset Camel Trek
Walk between the 300-metre cliffs of the Todra Gorge, cross the pre-Sahara via Tinghir and Erfoud, and arrive at Erg Chebbi in the afternoon. Ride camels over the dunes at sunset, then enjoy a Berber dinner and drums at your luxury desert camp.
Experience Morocco Through Powerful, Luxurious & Unforgettable Moments
From the majestic High Atlas passes to the golden silence of Erg Chebbi, this 13-day grand journey reveals Morocco at its most extraordinary — imperial cities, ancient medinas, blue-washed mountain towns, oceanfront skylines, and the serenity of the Sahara under millions of stars.
You’ll wander through fortified kasbahs, photograph dramatic canyons, explore the maze-like streets of Fes, breathe the coastal breeze of Tangier and Asilah, and watch the sun melt into the dunes during a private camel ride.
The photos capture beauty… but the true magic lies in the feelings:
warm hospitality, quiet mornings in artisan riads, the glow of firelight in the desert, the stillness before sunrise, and the sense of timelessness that only Morocco can offer.
In a journey like this, you don’t just visit Morocco — you live it.
