At dusk the Erg Chebbi dunes glow like an open furnace; by dawn their ridges cast crisp blue shadows that invite careful footprints. This four-day circuit launches from Marrakech, climbs the High Atlas via the Tizi n’Tichka pass (2,260 m), threads the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, and delivers you to Merzouga where camel caravans creak across sand that shifts and reforms with every wind.

Yes — the tour includes three nights of accommodations: one in Dades Gorges, one in a comfort desert camp near Merzouga (private tents, shared bathrooms), and one in Ouarzazate, plus transport back to Marrakech.
Camel rides at sunset and sunrise are included; children under 16 must ride with an adult, and most riders with basic mobility can participate.
Half-board is included: three breakfasts and three dinners are provided during the tour; lunches are usually en route at local restaurants.
Full refund is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure; cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable.
The route follows historic caravan corridors; Ait Ben Haddou is a well-preserved ksar that illustrates centuries of Saharan trade and mud-brick architecture.
The Sahara’s dune systems are fragile—stick to established paths, avoid vehicle travel on the dunes, and minimize single-use plastics; using local guides supports community-based stewardship.
