4-day desert excursion from Agadir to Merzouga Sahara dunes

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1

Agadir - Taliouine - Erg Chegaga

Explore the Sahara on a tour from Agadir with Local Morocco Tours, your personal desert tour company. Depart from Agadir for the village of Safran Taliouine, passing through the Sous plain and Taroundant, one of Morocco's oldest cities. Its ochre-colored ramparts, well-preserved fort, and the focused labor of the artists in the souks will captivate you. Then, on our way to Taliouine, we will travel through the desert, passing through Taznakht and the Skoura mountain range, before arriving in Foum Zguid, where you will have lunch. You will then reach the desert by following the trail that leads to the Iriqui lake and then into the Chegaga dunes (300 meters high over 40 kilometers of width). Arrival at the lovely camp before the sun goes down. Afternoon stroll among the dunes. Dinner and a night spent in a desert bivouac.

Day 2

Erg Chegaga - Zagora - Merzouga

From Zagora to M'Hamid, we will travel 60 kilometers in the desert (rocky plains, dunes and oases). We will return to Zagora after lunch at M'Hamid and a visit to its Kasbahs. The path will take you from Zagora to Tansikhte, then through Alnif, Nkob, and finally to the Merzouga desert. Take a camel ride and have dinner at the desert camp.

Day 3

Merzouga desert - Todra - Dades - Ouarzazate

After breakfast, we ride camels to Ouarzazate, going through the Todra Gorges and Boulmane in the Dadès (the valley of the rose festival). We travel to Ouarzazate by the wonderful road of a "thousand Kasbahs," which connects the chains of the High Atlas and the Anti-Atlas, Klaat M'Gouna, and Skoura. You will go to town in the afternoon. Overnight stay in the kasbah with dinner.

Day 4

Ouarzazate - Atlas Mountains - Marrakech - Agadir

We'll take the Tichka pass and the road of laurels to Marrakech (visit of the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou). A tour of the historic town. At sunset, macro bats, musicians, storytellers, and snake charmers will congregate on the Jmaa El Fnaa plaza, regarded as one of the most beautiful places on the planet. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the vitality of Marrakech on a guided expedition. Then we'll take you to Agadir and drop you off at your local riad. At Local Morocco Tours, we will do all in our power to tailor a vacation to Morocco that is perfect for you, your family, your friends, or your group.
