5.3-Day Merzouga Desert Tour Camel & Sandboarding

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 43 reviews · 3 days · from $113

Travel from Marrakech across the High Atlas to Ait Ben Haddou, Ouarzazate, Dades, Todra Gorges, and Merzouga. You will ride camels at sunset and sunrise, try sandboarding, and sleep in a standard or luxury Berber camp. Guides may include Mehdi, Haadi, Rachid, Youssef, or Hakim. The long return drive is the main trade-off.

“Our guide Mehdi was absolutely amazing! He made the experience so much better and enjoyable. He also made sure that we were always okay and safe, checking in through every activity we did whether it was stopping for coffee or at our camping site. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are staying a weekend in Marrakech, Morocco. 10/10”
