At dusk the golden ribs of Erg Chebbi stretch out like a living map, and the convoy slows as traded camels step from hard road onto yielding sand. This three-day loop from Marrakech climbs the High Atlas via Tizi n’Tichka (2,260 m), pauses at the clay walls of Ait Ben Haddou, threads the river-cut Dades and Todra gorges, and finishes with a sunset camel trek and night under the desert sky at Merzouga.

3 days.
Suitable for travelers with moderate fitness—able to manage short walks, dune climbs, and 1–2 hour camel rides.
Sunset camel treks typically last 1–2 hours one way across Erg Chebbi; sunrise returns are often shorter.
Options range from basic traditional bivouacs with shared facilities to upgraded tents with beds and private amenities—confirm when booking.
Older children who can sit comfortably on camels and handle long drives are suitable; infants often must sit on laps and operators may have age restrictions.
The tour involves camel mounting, dune walking, and transfers on winding roads—travelers with limited mobility should consult the operator before booking.
