Highlights

This short 3 days / 2 nights tour will take you to discover southern Morocco and the immense and colorful Erg Chebbi desert near Merzouga.


Legend has it that when a wealthy local family refused hospitality to a poor woman and her son, God buried the whole family under mounds of sand in a location 50km south of Erfoud, now known as Erg Chebbi.
You can spend an unforgettable night in the dunes in an equipped tented camp admiring a wonderful starry sky and enjoying the tranquility of the desert.


During the tour you will have the opportunity to visit the Dades and Todra Gorges, the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou and that of Ouarzazate.
