This private 3-day tour takes you from Marrakech across the full width of southern Morocco to Agadir, trading city streets for mountain passes, kasbahs, palm-lined valleys and the open Sahara. It’s built for travelers who want the classic desert circuit without joining a shared group, and without rushing.<\/p>\n
Day one climbs out of Marrakech over the Tizi n’Tichka pass, the highest road pass in the High Atlas, with stops at the UNESCO-listed Kasbah A\u00eft Ben Haddou<\/a> and the film studios of Ouarzazate before dropping into the Valley of Roses and Skoura’s palm oasis for the night in Dades Valley.<\/p>\n Day two is the highlight run: the Todra Gorge’s towering rock walls, the palmeries around Erfoud, and the arrival at the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, where a camel trek carries you into the desert for sunset, dinner under a canvas of stars, and live Berber music at a private camp \u2014 this is the same region covered in our Merzouga desert tours<\/a> for travelers extending their trip toward Fes.<\/p>\n Day three starts before sunrise, with camels carrying you back out of the dunes as the light changes over the sand. From there the route runs west through the Draa Valley’s palm groves, over the Anti-Atlas via Taznakht and Taliouine \u2014 Morocco’s saffron-growing region \u2014 and down to the Atlantic coast at Agadir.<\/p>\n Every stop, meal break and overnight can be adjusted before departure since this is a private tour for your group only \u2014 see our guide on private vs. shared tours in Morocco<\/a> if you’re comparing options. Travelers wanting the reverse route, or a shorter version without the Agadir leg, can also look at our 3-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A private 3-day journey from Marrakech to Agadir across the High Atlas, A\u00eft Ben Haddou, Todra Gorge and the Merzouga dunes, with a night in a luxury desert camp and a sunset camel trek.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":552,"template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","met_tour_duration":"3 Days \/ 2 Nights","met_tour_price_from":760,"met_tour_price_to":0,"met_tour_group_size":"Up to 17 Travelers","met_tour_difficulty":"moderate","met_tour_meeting":"Hotel pickup in Marrakech (07:00 AM)","met_tour_languages":"[\"English\",\"French\",\"Spanish\"]","met_tour_included":"[\"Pickup from your hotel, riad, or Marrakech Menara Airport.\",\"Private air-conditioned SUV, luxury minivan, or minibus.\",\"Professional English, French, Spanish, or Arabic-speaking driver.\",\"Fuel, highway tolls, parking fees, and all transportation costs.\",\"Flexible itinerary with scenic and photography stops.\",\"Camel trekking experience in the Erg Chebbi dunes.\",\"Hotel, riad, or Agadir Airport drop-off.\",\"24\\\/7 customer assistance before and during your tour.\"]","met_tour_excluded":"[\"Lunches\",\"Entrance fees to monuments and museums.\",\"Personal shopping and souvenirs.\"]","met_tour_itinerary":"[{\"day\":\"1\",\"title\":\"Marrakech to Dades Valley\",\"route\":\"Marrakech -
