Morocco Itinerary: 2 Days Tour from Ouarzazate to Sahara Desert

1st Day: Ouarzazate » Skoura » Todra Gorge » Merzouga Desert

Meet your personal driver at your hotel in Ouarzazate to begin an incredible journey through Morocco’s stunning landscapes. Start by driving to the lush Skoura Oasis, where you’ll visit the historic Amridil Kasbah—a remarkable example of traditional Moroccan architecture nestled among thriving palm groves. This kasbah offers a unique glimpse into Morocco’s rich cultural heritage and rural life.

Next, continue to Todra Gorge, a spectacular natural canyon carved by the Todra River. Its towering red cliffs, rising over 300 meters, make it a favorite destination for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike.

Afterward, enjoy a delightful lunch before heading toward the edge of the Sahara Desert in Merzouga. On arrival, embark on a magical camel trek across the vast Erg Chebbi dunes as the sun sets, painting the sand with golden hues. End your day with an authentic overnight stay in a luxury desert camp, enjoying traditional Berber cuisine and live Berber music under the vast starry sky.

Before departing Merzouga, you have the option to add a bit of adrenaline to your morning with a thrilling quad bike or dune buggy ride across the Erg Chebbi dunes—an unforgettable way to experience the vast beauty of the Sahara.

After your desert adventure, meet your driver and begin the scenic journey northward. Pass through the spectacular Ziz Valley, famed for its sweeping palm groves, dramatic gorges, and centuries-old kasbahs. It’s a perfect opportunity to capture photos and take in the local atmosphere.
