Between Agadir’s Atlantic coast and Marrakech lies a remarkable landscape of ancient kasbahs, palm-filled valleys, and sweeping Sahara dunes. This private 4-day desert tour from Agadir to Marrakech travels through Taroudant, Ouarzazate, and the Draa Valley to Merzouga, where a sunset camel trek leads to an overnight stay in the Erg Chebbi desert. Continue through Todra Gorges and Dades Valley before visiting Ait Ben Haddou and crossing the High Atlas Mountains to Marrakech.

01 / Overview
Your tour at a glance
Rather than returning to Agadir after the Sahara, this private journey continues to Marrakech, making the most of four days across southern Morocco. Your first night is in Ouarzazate after traveling inland through Taroudant. From there, follow the palm groves of the Draa Valley through Tazzarine and Rissani toward Merzouga, where a sunset camel trek and an overnight desert camp experience await among the Erg Chebbi dunes.
The scenery shifts again as you travel through Todra Gorges to Dades Valley for your third overnight stay. On the final day, continue through the Skoura oasis and the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou before crossing the High Atlas Mountains to Marrakech. With three distinct overnight stays and a convenient one-way route, this itinerary brings together Morocco’s desert landscapes, historic architecture, and mountain scenery.
