This tour was the highlight of our time in Morocco! We really felt that Mahmoud was what made the tour so special, his professionalism, friendliness, caring nature and detailed knowledge enabled us to experience the beautiful country of Morocco to the fullest. We were also very impressed with the structure of the tour. From film studios to fossil hunting and sand dunes to mountain gorges; the balance between locations that were popular with tourists and those that felt off the beaten path was perfect. We will definitely recommend Mahmoud’s tour to friends and family and had the best time throughout.

Full description

Immerse yourself in the mountains and desert of Morocco with this 4-day guided trip from Marrakesh. See scenic landscapes, stay in a charming guest house and a desert camp, and tour the movie sets of Ouarzazate.
An example of the itinerary you will follow:

Day 1: Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Dades Valley
Your driver will pick you up from your accommodation and you will set off on your 4 day adventure. Pass through the Tizi n'Tichka pass in the High Atlas mountains and from Marrakech to Ouarzazate you can enjoy the scenic route, the landscapes with changing colors and terrain and the Berber villages along the way. You will have free time to visit the Taourirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate and have lunch on site. Then, on to the green valley of Dadès and the valley of roses by the palm grove of Skoura. You will have dinner and stay overnight at a charming guest house in the valley.

Day 2: Dades Valley, Todra Gorges, Dunes of Merzouga
After breakfast, you will set off on the road to the 1000 Kasbahs, then check check out Tinghr with its magnificent palm groves. At Todra Gorge, the bravest explorers can trek along the canyon, 300 metres above the ground. Then continue towards Merzouga and the erg Chebbi dune in the Sahara desert. In the largest desert in the world, you can experience the sunset on the back of a camel as you ride towards the oasis where the camp is located. You may spend the night in the nomadic tents or under the stars and play music or sing along with the locals and become immersed in true nomadic culture.

Day 3: Merzouga, Tazarine, Agdz, Ouarzazate
Watch the sunrise over the dunes of erg Chebbi, followed by breakfast in the camp. Return to a hostel via camel trek for a quick shower then drive to Rissani, a small town in southern Saharan Morocco where you can stop to visit a fossil workshop, before continuing to the junction of the Drâa and Agdz valley. Enjoy a relaxing dinner and hotel stay in Ouarzazate.

We had an absolutely spectacular 4-day tour from Marrakech to the Merzouga desert — an experience we’ll never forget. What truly made it exceptional was Reda. He wasn’t just a driver; he was our guide, problem-solver, go-to guy, and the heart of the trip. With his ever-present smile and quick wit, he brought incredible energy and warmth to every moment. Reda made it possible for us to fully immerse ourselves in Moroccan culture — sharing fascinating stories, introducing us to hidden gems along the way, and always going the extra mile to meet every one of our requests and wishes. His kindness, intelligence, and genuine passion for his country are rare to find, and they deeply enriched our experience. The tour wouldn’t have been the same without him. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience — and if you’re lucky enough to have Reda as your guide and driver, you’re in for something truly unforgettable.
