3 Day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga

Your 3-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga begins today. You will be picked up by a local tour guide from Morocco Daily Adventures company at the airport or place of lodging, and then you will go to Boumalne Dades. We will halt numerous times along the route, the first of which will be at Tizi N’T’ichka Pass, which is 2260 meters high in the High Atlas Mountains. We pause here to take in the breathtaking view of the Atlas before moving on to Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, our next stop. The UNESCO World Heritage Site Kasbah is well known for its exquisite examples of traditional Moroccan architecture, which are made of earthen clay and harmoniously integrate into the surrounding terrain.

Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah

Ait Ben Haddou has become well-known for serving as the shooting location for a number of motion pictures and television shows, such as “Game of Thrones,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” and “Gladiator.” Its stunning and well-preserved buildings make the ideal setting for epic and historical settings. After your exploration of the Kasbah is complete, we stop for lunch at a nearby eatery before continuing on to Ouarzazate, which is referred to as the “gateway to the desert.” One of the biggest film studios in the world, Atlas Studios, is located in Ouarzazate, which is also well-known for its film industry.

Later on, we set off to to Kalaat M’Gouna, a city renowned for rose cultivation and distillation, after you feel free to snap a memorable photo in front of the Taourirte Kasbah. Furthermore, the city’s inhabitants celebrate the Rose Festival at the castle every year since it produces a lot of cosmetics using local flowers.

To find out more about how they make different goods from roses, like body cream, shampoo, hair oil, and soap, feel free to stop by one of the women’s cooperatives. So we keep on to Boumalane Dades, our destination. We send you off for the night at your riad upon arrival.
