Merzouga Desert 3-Day Trip

Pickup is at the entrance of Hotel La Perle de Sud in Ouarzazate. We’ll begin with a 30-minute stop at Kasbah Taourirt for photos before continuing along the famous Road of 1,000 Kasbahs toward Skoura. From there, we’ll cross the Valley of the Roses and head to the Dadès Gorges, where you’ll spend the first night.

After breakfast, we’ll visit the impressive Todgha Gorges. Then we continue toward Merzouga, passing through the Jorf Palm Oasis and stopping in a village known for its fossil workshops. Once in Merzouga, you’ll ride camels across the dunes to reach the desert camp, where dinner will be served.
