About the Tour
If you land in Casablanca and want to see the desert, this is the most direct round trip to Erg Chebbi. The first day takes you past Marrakech and over the High Atlas to Aït Benhaddou, which lets you reach Merzouga on day two through the Dades and Todra gorges.
Two nights at the camp give you a full day in the dunes. The camp can be standard, or luxury with private bathrooms, and you can add nights. Expect long drives on the first and last days.

- The ksar of Aït Benhaddou
