Departure in the morning for the ever-shifting scenery along the way to Merzouga dunes. Crossing the Tinghir Oasis, drive through palm groves towards the Todra Gorges. In this gorgeous place, limestone cliffs seem like a gap, formed through the magnificent mountains of the Todra Massif, before diving down to the flatbed of a river.
The peaks rise up to 320 m above Todra gorges, which meanders from its source in the High Atlas Mountains. At leisure, wander within the gorges and palm groves. After having a hearty lunch, continue to the Tinjdad and Erfoud with their palm groves.
The 4-day adventure will then continue to our lovely destination: Merzouga desert, where you will experience the camel ride through the fascinating and wavy dunes of Erg Chebbi. A rest to watch a lovely sunset over the vast and golden sand dunes shift like moving sculptures in the form of draperies.
Watch as the colors vary according to the intensity of the light, and see how they act like the living walls of the desert, the highest reaching a magnificent 150 m.
Spend a magical night under the stars in nomadic tents after a delicious dinner and a music party (Berber drums) with locals. Undoubtedly this will be the best night in this trip, if not, in your entire holiday in Morocco.

Best experience of life
My boyfriend and I planned a trip with the MTA organization and didn’t know what to expect. Before you go, you don’t know a lot about the desert trip.
What makes it a little bit outside, but maybe even more interesting. The trip was absolutely an amazing experience from the beginning.
We did a 4 day trip with 3 nights, one in the Dades valley and one in the desert the last one in Ouarzazate.
Everything was well-organized and we saw many beautiful places along the way. Thank you so much for the unforgettable experience.
An Amazing Adventure!

The Moroccan landscape was like nothing I have seen before, and the night in the Sahara desert was an experience of a lifetime, although it was cold and windy..
It even snowed on the next day! We felt very welcomed the whole time and would highly recommend this Marrakech 4-day trip to anyone.
