3 Days Desert Tour From Agadir

Day 1: Agadir – Taroudant – Taliouine – Taznakht – Ouarzazate

Early in the morning, take a 3 days tour from Agadir to Merzouga, stopping briefly to see Taroudant’s medieval ramparts. Next, proceed to Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, the biggest Kasbah in Morocco, and Taliouine, which is renowned for its saffron production and is regarded as the center of the country’s “Saffron Cooperative” saffron farming region. We’ll make a halt in the renowned Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, 30 kilometers from Ouarzazate.

Proceed to Ouarzazate via the Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most impressive red earth castles lining the ancient road of the Kasbahs. Known as “the Hollywood of Africa,” the town boasts one of the largest studios in the world, where many of the films you may have seen, such as “Gladiator,” “Jewel of the Nile,” and “The Sahara,” were filmed. Dinner and breakfast will be served when you check into your riad or hotel.

Day 2: Ouarzazate – Dades Gorge – Todra Gorge – Merzouga Desert

After breakfast at the hotel, drive back via the breathtaking “sandcastles” on the “Road of the Thousand Kasbahs.” We then go to Kalaat Mgouna, also referred to as “The Flowers City” because of its flowers and annual May festival. After that, we will travel to Dades Valley and Tinghir, where we will visit Todra Valley. Admire the stunning views of the valley from the ancient mud Berber villages.

Enter the Gorge and stroll beneath the 300-meter-tall red wall, a popular destination for rock climbers to engage in their preferred activity. After stopping for lunch in Erfoud and Rissani, we head to Merzouga, where your camel will be waiting for you. Before mounting your camel with the assistance of a knowledgeable camel person, discover the mysterious Erg-Chebbi sand sea. Here, under the sky, or if you’d prefer, in a real Berber nomad tent, you will spend the night.

Day 3: Merzouga – Rissani – Alnif – Taznakht – Taliouine – Agadir

We will return to Merzouga by camel in the morning. Head to Rissani (originally Sijilmassa), the cradle of the Alaouite dynasty, Morocco’s present ruling family, after breakfast and a shower in your Merzouga riad. The men are hooded, and the women are veiled in this very traditional Moroccan town. On our way to Agadir, we will continue to go through Alnif, Tazarine, Nkob, and Agdiz. Before heading to Taznakht, Taliouine, and Agadir after nightfall, we’ll see the fascinating Draa Valley, which is home to hundreds of Berber Kasbahs.
