Overview

Two nights in Merzouga instead of one. Most Sahara tours from Marrakech rush you back after a single night under the stars. This journey gives you a second full night—first in a traditional Berber camp with sunset camel trek, then in a comfortable hotel with pool.

The second day separates this tour from the pack. You will explore Khamlia village for authentic Gnawa music, walk through a hidden oasis, wander the Rissani market, and taste Berber pizza (Medfouna) baked fresh in a clay oven.

Wake early for sunrise over Erg Chebbi's towering dunes, then enjoy a relaxed breakfast.

Choose your endpoint: To Fes takes you through cedar forests with Barbary macaque monkeys and a lunch stop in Midelt.

Return to Marrakech follows the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs across the High Atlas via Tizi n'Tichka Pass.
Medium groups, local guides, and Berber drumming around the campfire.
