Luxury Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech offers a six-day immersive escape through Morocco’s most majestic landscapes, combining comfort, culture, and adventure. Begin your journey in Marrakech and cross the towering High Atlas via Tizi n’Tichka Pass, stopping at the ancient Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou and exploring the cinematic city of Ouarzazate. Sleep in style in boutique riads overlooking the verdant Dades Valley as mountain vistas set the tone.
As the days unfold, entrance into the Sahara arrives via the dramatic Todra Gorges and Erfoud’s fossil-strewn terrain.

Your Luxury Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech begins with a breathtaking drive through the majestic High Atlas Mountains, crossing the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Along the way, admire Berber villages clinging to the hillsides and panoramic landscapes that shift from green valleys to rugged peaks. Stop to explore the ancient Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO treasure and filming location for world-famous movies. Continue your route through Ouarzazate, known as the “Hollywood of Africa,” before arriving at the enchanting Dades Valley. Nestled between towering cliffs and winding roads, this region offers unforgettable views. Spend the night in a beautiful riad or boutique hotel where comfort meets authenticity, surrounded by peaceful mountain serenity.
After breakfast, continue your Luxury Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech as you travel from the Dades Valley to the heart of the Sahara Desert. Pass through Tinghir and enjoy a short stop at the Todra Gorges — Morocco’s most impressive canyon with its towering red walls. The journey continues toward Erfoud, famous for fossils and Saharan landscapes, before reaching the golden dunes of Merzouga. In the late afternoon, embark on a magical camel trek through the Erg Chebbi dunes as the sun paints the sky in warm orange tones. Arrive at your luxury desert camp, where you’ll be welcomed with mint tea, Berber rhythms, and a refined dinner under the starlit sky. End the evening by the campfire, immersed in the tranquil beauty of the desert night.
Today offers a deeper look into desert life and nomadic culture. Begin with a serene sunrise over the dunes — one of the most unforgettable moments of your Luxury Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech. After breakfast, venture to Khamlia village, home to Gnawa musicians whose rhythms echo the desert spirit. Continue exploring the area by 4×4, visiting nomadic families living in traditional tents and learning about their way of life. The Black Desert’s volcanic terrain offers a striking contrast to the golden sands of Erg Chebbi. Depending on the season, visit Flamingo Lake, a peaceful natural haven where migratory birds gather. Return to your riad or desert lodge in Merzouga for relaxation, Moroccan tea, and a cozy evening surrounded by the tranquility of the Sahara.
After breakfast, bid farewell to the desert and begin your long but scenic drive to Fes.

Enjoy a lunch break in Midelt before crossing the Middle Atlas Mountains. Later, visit the cedar forest of Azrou to meet playful Barbary macaques and stop in Ifrane, the “Switzerland of Morocco,” known for its European charm and cleanliness. By evening, arrive in Fes, one of Morocco’s most enchanting imperial cities.
Discover the spiritual heart of Morocco on a guided tour through Fes, one of the world’s oldest living medieval cities. This full day of exploration begins with a visit to the Royal Palace gates and the historic Jewish Quarter (Mellah). Continue to the panoramic fortress of Borj Sud for breathtaking views of the ancient medina. Walk through the labyrinth of narrow alleys lined with colorful souks, artisans, and centuries-old architecture. Visit Al Quaraouiyine University — the oldest in the world — and the iconic Chouara Tanneries, where leather-making traditions remain alive. Every corner of Fes tells a story of art, faith, and history, offering the perfect cultural ending to your Luxury Sahara Desert Tour from Marrakech.
