About the Tour
The three-day trip to Merzouga covers this ground in a hurry. With five days, no drive is much longer than six hours, and you get a whole day in the dunes with nothing planned.
The camp near Merzouga has large tents with private bathrooms. In Skoura and the Dades Valley we use small kasbah hotels; tell us if you have one in mind and we will try to book it.
Highlights
- The Glaoui kasbah at Telouet and Aït Benhaddou on the first day
- A kasbah hotel in the Skoura palm grove
- Two nights in a luxury tent in Erg Chebbi
- A free day in the dunes
- The Todra and Dades gorges
